Overview

Preventative strategies to reduce calcium stone formation are predicated on a proper and thorough medical evaluation, which includes a detailed medical, stone, medication, family, dietary and environmental history. Additionally, proper imaging studies and the details of a full metabolic evaluation are described herein, with a discussion of specific metabolic derangements associated with calcium stones. With a thorough patient history, imaging and a metabolic evaluation, the clinician can tailor medical treatment to the specific abnormality identified.

Key words:
nephrolithiasis, calcium, metabolic, evaluation, stone
