Ae index is an independent predictor of kidney stone recurrence in overweight and obese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Finding some convenient and economical indicators to initially screen overweight and obese patients at high risk of kidney stone recurrence can help them prevent stone recurrence with lower medical cost. The purpose of this article is to determine the clinical value of Ae index (Apo B × 1000/eGFR) as an independent predictor for kidney stone recurrence in overweight and obese populations.

Methods

We queried the electronic medical records of patients with kidney stone operated at our hospital from March 2016 to March 2022, and selected BMI ≥ 25 kg/m² as the study population and divided the patients into stone recurrence group and non-recurrence group. Relevant parameters of routine blood and biochemical test, glycated serum protein (GSP), and history of
