Caratteristiche cliniche dei pazienti con sindrome metabolica e nefrolitiasi recidivante da ossalato di calico

Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for nephrolithiasis. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical and biochemical profile of calcium-oxalate nephrolithiasis in stone formers with metabolic syndrome. A total of 526 recurrent stone formers, 184 of them with metabolic syndrome, and 214 controls were examined. Stone formers with metabolic syndrome showed higher sodium excretion [mean (95% confidence interval), 196 (176–218) vs 160 (150–168) mmol/24h; p
