We aimed to identify abnormalities on 24-hour urine collection in this patient population. METHODS: 24-hour urine collections from a single tertiary care center were retrospectively reviewed from May 2014 to May 2021. Univariate analysis was performed using Chi-square test and unpaired T-test for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. A multivariable logistic regression was performed controlling for age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM). RESULTS: 98 (24%) of 406 patients who met inclusion criteria were identified to have radiographic hepatic steatosis. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between groups including age, race, and gender. On univariate analysis, patients with NAFLD had decreased urinary pH (5.88 vs 6.06, p=0.02), elevated urinary oxalate (40 vs 36, p=0.04), calcium (219 vs 186, p=0.02) and sodium (185 vs 163, p=0.02) relative to those who did not have fatty infiltration of the liver on imaging. After controlling for DM and obesity as defined as BMI≥30, no 24-hour urine abnormalities were identified. CONCLUSIONS: After adjusting for confounding factors, patients with hepatic steatosis did not have identifiable abnormalities in their 24-hour urine studies. Increased risk of nephrolithiasis in patients with NAFLD is likely related to contributors of metabolic syndrome such as diabetes and obesity.
