    Anorexia nervosa may increase the risk of developing kidney stones (nephrolithiasis). This case report highlights a potential link between the eating disorder and renal stone formation, suggesting further investigation into dietary and hydration factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Anorexia nervosa is a complex eating disorder with significant physical complications.
    • Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stone disease, is a common condition often linked to metabolic and dietary factors.

    Observation:

    • A patient diagnosed with primary anorexia nervosa presented with acute abdominal pain and hematuria.
    • Diagnostic procedures, including cystoscopy and retrograde pyelography, were performed.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with nephrolithiasis.
    • A calcium oxalate stone was successfully passed by the patient.
    • This represents the first reported case associating anorexia nervosa with nephrolithiasis.

    Implications:

    • The co-occurrence suggests a potential, previously unreported association between anorexia nervosa and kidney stone formation.
    • Chronic dehydration and specific dietary patterns common in anorexia nervosa may contribute to renal stone development.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and clinical significance of this association.
