Association of body mass index and urine pH in patients with urolithiasis

Increase in body size increases the risk of renal stone formation. The mechanism explaining this relationship remains unclear. Urine pH is one of the important factors for urinary stone formation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between urine pH and body ma...

Zusammenfassung:	Increase in body size increases the risk of renal stone formation. The mechanism explaining this relationship remains unclear. Urine pH is one of the important factors for urinary stone formation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between urine pH and body mass index (BMI) in patients with urolithiasis. Medical charts review that included 342 urinary stone formers (248 men and 94 women). Data obtained included patient sex, age, BMI, urine pH at diagnosis, and stone composition. The patients were classified as normal weight (18.5
