High perirenal fat thickness predicts a greater risk of recurrence in Chinese patients with unilateral nephrolithiasis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between recurrence-free survival (RFS) and perirenal fat thickness (PFT) in a cohort of Chinese population with unilateral nephrolithiasis.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 81 patients with unilateral nephrolithiasis in our center from January 2019 to June 2019. PFT measured on computed tomography (CT) scans was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were used to assess significant differences in RSF between high-PFT and low-PFT groups within sexes. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the potential risk factors for renal stone recurrence.

Results

High PFT was significantly associated with high BMI and hyperlipidemia (p
