The benefits of evaluation of the patient with recurrent or multiple calcium stones

L J Peterson et al. J Urol. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

Metabolic evaluation of patients with multiple or recurrent calcium stones has been fruitful. The great majority of cases has demonstrated abnormalities contributing to stone formation. Hypercalciuria on the basis of increased intestinal absorption of calcium was a common finding. The evaluation led to improved guide lines for therapy.
