Summary: | Objective: In this study, we examined the effects of dyslipidemia, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis on kidney stone formation. Materials and Methods: Patients were divided into two groups; group 1; 300 patients having kidney stones or not group 2; 528 patients. Among these patients' triglyceride, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein values; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, waist circumference and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness were recorded. Results: It was determined that the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and cholesterol levels and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness did not have any effect on developing kidney stones. However, triglyceride level and waist circumference had a statistically significant effect on kidney stone formation. Conclusion: Considering that the presence of high triglyceride and low waist circumference levels can cause kidney stones in the patient; then the formation of kidney stones can be avoided by eliminating these factors through preventable or treatable modifications. Keywords: Atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, kidney stones, non-alcoholic fatty liver, obesity |
