Abstract.
Genitourinary complications are relatively common in inflammatory bowel disease, with a reported incidence of 4–23%, although they more frequently occur in established disease.

In all cases of childhood nephrolithiasis, the possibility of underlying inflammatory bowel disease needs to be considered.
