[Diet therapy and life guidance to prevent calcium stones]

Urolithiasis patients have a low continuation rate with regard to visiting the hospital and undergoing periodic check-ups following therapy. The increased Westernization of diets has played a major role in its onset, and it is believed to be a lifestyle disease. Therefore, the prevention of relapse is difficult without improving the patients' lifestyle and eating habits, and it has been defined as a disease with an extremely high relapse rate. On the other hand, it is believed that the opportunity for periodic visits to the hospital and check-ups can be assured by continuously performing careful dietary interventions appropriate for each patient and by educating patients about the disease, thereby contributing to the prevention of relapses of urolithiasis.
