BACKGROUND: The incidence of urinary stone disease has shown a steep rise in recent decades along with marked modifications in dietary habits and life- style. There has been an increased prevalence of urinary stone disease in @entity1 with @entity6 . We took up this study to determine the association of @entity6 with @entity1290 in @entity1 undergoing surgical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 presenting with @entity1290 for surgical management formed the study group. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by noting the weight and height of the @entity1 . The extracted stone/stone fragments were analyzed to determine the chemical composition. Urinary pH was similarly noted in all. RESULTS: The mean BMI among the diabetics was 26.35    5.20 (range 17.75-35.60), whereas the mean BMI among the non-diabetics was 23.41    2.85 (range 17.71-31.62) (P < 0.0004). The incidence of @entity414 calculi in the diabetics was significantly high (P < 0.03). The mean urinary pH among the diabetics was 5.61    0.36 and among the non-diabetics was 6.87    0.32, which was significantly lower (P < 0.000044). CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong association between type 2 @entity6 and @entity414 stone formation. There is also a strong association between @entity6 , BMI, and also with lower urinary pH.
