Metabolic Aspects of Renal Stone Disease

  • Chapter
The Year in Metabolism 1975–1976

Abstract

Renal stone disease continues to represent one of the most common medical disorders encountered in medical practice. Estimates of the frequency of this disorder suggest that one person in every thousand will be hospitalized each year for an episode of renal colic. This clearly underestimates the true incidence of nephrolithiasis when it is realized that many stones are quiescent and asymptomatic for many years, and in addition, many patients with renal colic are treated in outpatient departments and physicians’ offices and are not hospitalized. Despite the recognition of renal stone disease since antiquity, adequate preventive treatment often remains as elusive today as it did for the Egyptian Pharaohs and ancient Greek scribes.
