Overweight has been suggested to increase the risk of kidney stone formation. Although weight reduction might affect risk factors for urolithiasis, findings on the impact of different dietary weight loss strategies are limited. This randomized, controlled study evaluated the effect of a conventional energy-restricted modified diet with (MR group) or without meal replacement (C group) on risk factors for stone formation in overweight women without a history of urolithiasis. Of 105 participants, 78 were included into the per-protocol analysis. Anthropometric, clinical, biochemical, and 24 h urinary parameters were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks. Although both dietary interventions resulted in a significant weight reduction, relative weight loss and rate of responders were higher in the MR group. Weight loss improved cardiometabolic risk profile in both groups. Unfortunately, the benefit of decreased GPT activity in the C group was offset by a significant increase in homocysteine and a decline in GFR. While the relative supersaturation of calcium oxalate decreased significantly in both groups, a significant decline in serum uric acid concentration and relative supersaturation of uric acid was observed only in the MR group. Finally, the energy-restricted modified diet with meal replacement showed significant advantages over the energy-restricted modified diet alone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
