Recurrence of renal lithiasis

Abstract

Recurrent stone-formers can be classified into two large groups: those who always produce the same type of calculus (the most common type of recurrence was calcium oxalate dihydrate, followed by calcium oxalate monohydrate non-papillary and calcium oxalate monohydrate papillary calculi); and those who produce different types of renal calculi (the most frequent recurrences in this group were the changes calcium oxalate dihydrate-->calcium oxalate dihydrate/hydroxyapatite and calcium oxalate monohydrate-->calcium oxalate dihydrate).

Direct and indirect costs of nephrolithiasis in an employed population: Opportunity for disease management?

“…This group would reflect the "target population" for a disease management program. Prior evidence suggests that 50% of stone formers will have a recurrence within 5 years [8]. If we assume the rate of recurrence is linear over this time, then 144 recurrences will be treated in the first year alone (1440 × .5 × .2).…”

“…Furthermore, recurrence rates of urolithiasis are very high reaching 50%. Formation of a new stone for the patients, who do not undertake appropriate preventive treatment, usually starts within 5 years . For these reasons, urolithiasis has become a considerable health‐care problem worldwide.…”
