Nationwide cohort analysis of pediatric urolithiasis: long-term metabolic, renal, and cardiovascular outcomes
Despite a modest decline in incidence, pediatric urolithiasis remains a clinically important condition that is associated with an increased risk of long-term renal and cardiovascular morbidity. These findings highlight the importance of early metabolic evaluation, careful medication stewardship, and continued nephrology follow-up to mitigate chronic sequelae.
