Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Distribution of body mass index of patients with recurrent KDS. As shown in this figure, 64 patients had an abnormally high body mass index (BMI).
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Chief complaint during the first stone episode and recurrence. As shown in this figure, the most chief complaint was renal colic for patients with first stone episode (a). In contrast, the most chief complaint for patients during recurrence was the symptom associated with infection (b).
