Abstract:

CaOx mixed with CaP was the most prevalent stone type. UA stone was more likely to occur in the elderly. Kidney stone patients were found to consume less-than-adequate amounts of water, food high in carbohydrates, along with low consumtion of fruits and vegetables. These dietary habits might be risk factors in stone development among the Thai population.
