Purpose: The epidemiological relationship between nephrolithiasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus is well-known. Patients with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for nephrolithiasis and those with nephrolithiasis are at risk for diabetes mellitus. We examined 24-hour urine composition in stone formers with and without diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a database of 462 stone forming patients to examine the relationship between hypertension and 24-hour urine composition. Multivariate linear regression models were adjusted for age, race, gender, body mass index, hypertension, relevant medications and 24-hour urine constituents. Results: On univariate analysis diabetic patients had significantly greater urine volume than nondiabetic patients (2.5 vs 2.1 1 daily, p = 0.004). Those with diabetes mellitus also excreted less daily potassium (61.1 vs 68.8 mEq, p = 0.04), phosphate (0.84 vs 1.0 gm, p = 0.002) and creatinine (1405.5 vs 1562.8 mg, p = 0.03), and had significantly lower daily urine pH (5.78 vs 6.09, p <0.001) and CaP supersaturation (0.49 vs 1.20, p <0.001) than nondiabetic patients. On multivariate analysis compared to patients without diabetes mellitus those with type II diabetes mellitus had significantly lower urine pH (-0.34, 95% CI -0.48 to -0.21) and significantly greater urine oxalate (6.43 mg daily, 95% CI 1.26 to 11.60) and volume (0.38 1 daily, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.64). Conclusions: Results show that of stone formers patients with type II diabetes mellitus excrete significantly greater urinary oxalate and significantly lower urine pH than those without diabetes mellitus: These findings are important for treating nephrolithiasis since they may influence dietary counseling, medical management and stone prevention.
