Brazilian Guidelines on evaluation and clinical management of Nephrolithiasis: Brazilian Society of Nephrology
The prevalence of nephrolithiasis has been increasing in recent years, affecting appro-ximately 10% and 15% of the population. Kidney stone disease is associated with syste-mic comorbidities such as cardiovascular dis-ease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. The first Nephrolithiasis Guideline by the Brazilian Society of Nephrology was published in 2002, and since then, the accumulation of new clinical studies and guidelines has justified a review of the subject. This updated document, prepared by the Nephrolithiasis Committee of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology, reflects the advances in the management of patients with kidney stones. The guideline aims to provide recommendations for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of nephrolithiasis, based on the best available evidence. Topics covered include clinical evaluation, laboratory and imaging tests, as well as dietary and pharmacological interventions, and follow-up strategies.
