Objective: To analyze the biochemical alterations in plasma and the urine determinants of severe lithogenic activity in patients with idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 120 patients divided into 2 groups: group 1, 60 patients without nephrolithiasis; and group 2, 60 patients with severe and/or recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis. In all patients, a study of renal function, calcium metabolism, and bone remodeling markers, and a study of the lithogenic factors were performed in urine after fasting and in 24-hour urine samples.
