Popis: To obtain new insights into the relationship between diet and idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis, 920 obese subjects were studied. The prevalence of nephrolithiasis in this group was similar to that observed in the general population in Italy. No relation between particular life style and eating habits was found in nephrolithiasic obese subjects, but compared to non-obese idiopathic stone formers, they had a distinct risk profile for calcium stone formation. Our study suggests that diet alone is not sufficient to promote renal stone formation.
