Metabolic evaluation of pediatric patients with stones
Abstract
Metabolic evaluation of children with urinary stones begins with analysis of calculi or gravel if at all possible. If no stone is available, radiographic appearances may predict types. Once stone composition is known or suspected, a targeted testing program is performed. Serum and urinary tests define the causative abnormality. Therapy is then directed toward correcting this problem.
