Correlation Between Stone Composition and Serum Metabolic Abnormalities in Recurrent Renal Calculi

The presence of particular serum metabolic abnormalities is significantly associated with specific stone compositions as well as with particular patterns of recurrence. Addressing recurrent renal stone disease sufficiently should include a thorough metabolic evaluation and correction of vitamin D deficiency and hyperuricemia, along with other modifiable metabolic derangements, to minimize the occurrence of future stones.
