Insulin Resistance in Hypercalciuric Calcium Kidney Stone Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Rational & objective

Diabetes and uric acid kidney stones are strongly associated. Patients with calcium kidney stones also have higher risk of developing diabetes compared with nonkidney stone patients yet this has not been further investigated. We aimed to characterize insulin resistance in calcium kidney stone patients.

Study design

Observational.

Setting & population

This study was performed in the University of Chicago Clinical Research Center. Kidney stone patients (N = 42) were selected for having idiopathic hypercalciuria and calcium stones with no other medical conditions, and controls (N = 27) were healthy.

Exposures

All participants presented to the Clinical Research Center in a fasting state and at least 2 timed fasting blood and urine collections w
