Abstract
The association between primary aldosteronism (PA) and nephrolithiasis is still unclear. The hypercalciuria and hypocitraturia of PA patients might be the reason leading to recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PA and renal stones, including stone size and density.
