Low Oxalobacter Formigenes Colonization is Associated with Reduced Bone Mineral Density in Urinary Stone Forming Patients

摘要

IntroductionLower bone mineral density (BMD) and reduced Oxalobacter formigenes colonization are common findings in urolithiasis patients. But none of the studies conducted investigated the relationship between decreased bone mineral density and reduced Oxalobacter colonization. Here we evaluated the relation between BMD and O. formigenes colonization in urolithiasis patients.
