Critical evaluation of various forms of therapy for idiopathic calcium stone disease

M Marangella et al. Proc Eur Dial Transplant Assoc. 1983.

Abstract

The results are presented of the dietary management, alone or in association with thiazides and/or allopurinol, evaluated in 143 idiopathic calcium stone formers after a mean follow-up of 18 months. Diet alone proved to be effective in the prevention of stone relapses. The addition of thiazide and/or allopurinol provided mild improvements of urine environment but seemed to give no further clinical benefits irrespective of underlying metabolic abnormalities.
