Introduction The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a gender-specific metabolic index that indirectly measures visceral adipose function and distribution using waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol values. To assess visceral fat in the diagnostic pathway of urinary stone patients, we investigated the relationship between the VAI and nephrolithiasis as well as the relationship between the VAI and stone and surgery-related parameters. Material and methods Patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery for kidney stones were included in the study. The control group comprised of healthy individuals who volunteered to take part in study and did not have urolithiasis as confirmed by abdominal computed tomography imaging. A total of 148 patients were divided into the nephrolithiasis (n = 103) and the control (n = 45) groups. Weight, height, BMI, waist circumference measurements, and VAI were among the metabolic parameters measured. Stone and surgical parameters were evaluated. Results VAI (4.57 vs 2.76), waist circumference (92.1 vs 87.1), and BMI (28.31 vs 26.51) values were higher in the nephrolithiasis group(p = 0.02,p = 0.04, p <0.001,respectively). The VAI was statistically significant in the multivariate analysis for the presence of nephrolithiasis (p <0.001). The VAI negatively correlated with the stone Hounsfield unit (HU) and positively correlated with very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), blood creatinine, and calcium levels. The relationship between VAI and surgical parameters was not significant. Conclusions A significant relationship was detected between nephrolithiasis and VAI, a new genderspecific metabolic index that distinguishes between subcutaneous and visceral adipose mass and demonstrates metabolic syndrome. No significant effect of this relationship on surgical parameters was demonstrated in the present study.
