Abstract
Background It is well established that nutritional habits are relevant in the prevention of Idiopathic Calcium Nephrolithiasis (ICN) and the Mediterranean diet is believed to be protective against nephrolithiasis and not only against cardiovascular events. A case-control study was performed to establish the nutritional habits of Italian ICN patients and the nutritional determinants of lithogenic risk in the considered population.
