In this comprehensive meta-regression analysis encompassing 79 randomized controlled
trials, we observed that in populations assigned to a high sodium intake level exceeding 94 …

Purpose: Increased fluid intake, and decreased dietary sodium and animal protein intake
are thought to reduce the risk of kidney stones but the role of calcium intake is controversial …

RESULTS: After exclusion of ineligible patients, 2218 24-hour urinalyses were analyzed.
