Hi Fabio,

I don't have any data to confirm your impression. However, hypocitraturia is frequent in nephrolithiasis secondary to metabolic syndrome (MS) and the incidence MS is increasing worldwide. I wouldn't be surprised if your impression is true.

Hi Fernando

I agree with your answer .... I believe that, like chronic kidney disease (CKD) , kidney stones will become a public health problem due to its increasing incidence with hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MS) worldwide
