Association of Urine Findings with Metabolic Syndrome Traits in a Population of Patients with Nephrolithiasis.

Background: The odds of nephrolithiasis increase with more metabolic syndrome (MetS) traits. We evaluated associations of metabolic and dietary factors from urine studies and stone composition with MetS traits in a large cohort of stone-forming patients.

Methods: Patients >18 years old who were evaluated for stones with 24-hour urine collections between July 2009 and December 2018 had their records reviewed retrospectively.
