Abstract
First admission renal stone patients (51) and an equal number of controls were interviewed; a dietary history of the average weekly intake was collected from each participant. A comparison of the dietary intake/kg body weight in each group was made using standard statistical procedures. None of the nutrient intakes showed a significant difference, but dietary fiber intake and the percentage of energy provided by carbohydrate were consistently higher in the control group, whereas the percentage of energy provided by fat was consistently higher in the renal stone group.
