- Abstract
Background. We have previously reported that in the Olivetti Prospective Heart Study cohort the incidence of nephrolithiasis was higher in hypertensive participants than in normotensive ones. As the time sequence and the mechanisms underlying the association between nephrolithiasis and hypertension remain controversial, we further tested the hypothesis that in a cohort of normotensive males a history of nephrolithiasis predicts the development of future hypertension.
