OBJECTIVE: In this study we planned to investigate the relationship between presence of @entity1290 and stone burden with @entity101 ( @entity101 ), @entity6 ( @entity6 ) and body mass index (BMI). METHODS: A total of 574 @entity1 were included in the study. None of the @entity1 had a history of stones. The 121 @entity1 with @entity1290 identified on ultrasound evaluation and the 453 @entity1 with no stones were compared in terms of @entity101 , BMI and @entity6 . The stone burden of 121 @entity1 with diagnosed stones was compared in terms of the same variables. RESULTS: Of the 121 @entity1 with @entity1290 30 (24.7%) had @entity101 , while 66 (14.5%) of the 453 @entity1 without stones had @entity101 (p=0.007). BMI values of those with and without stones were 27.2    4.93 kg/m(2) and 25.29    4.12 kg/m(2), respectively (p<0.001). Twenty-five (20.6%) of the @entity1 with stones diagnosed by ultrasound had @entity6 , while 49 (10.8%) of those without stones had @entity6 (p=0.004). When comparing @entity1 with and without @entity1290 , logistic regression analysis revealed that @entity6 (odds ratio [OR] 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17 to 3.63, p=0.013) and BMI (OR 1.08, CI 1.03 to 1.13, p=0.003) were independently associated with presence of stones. No significant relationship was found between the same variables and cumulative stone diameter (CSD) and stone surface area (SA) evaluated for stone burden. CONCLUSIONS: While @entity6 , @entity101 and increased Body Mass Index may add to the possibility of stone formation, they did not affect stone burden.

Do XXXX , @entity6 and obesity increase the risk of severity of nephrolithiasis?
