Elevated ApoB/ApoA ratio is associated with recurrent kidney stones in a Chinese adult population: a retrospective, propensity-matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this study was to assess the correlation between the ApoB/ApoA ratio and the recurrence of kidney stones in a Chinese adult population.

Methods

We collected electronic records of patients with kidney stones who underwent surgical treatment at our hospital from March 2016 to March 2022. These patients were followed up and categorized into groups based on the recurrence of kidney stones.
