    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Renal calculi (kidney stones) pathogenesis is complex.
    • Understanding underlying causes is crucial for effective treatment and prevention.
    • Previous studies highlight various contributing factors to stone formation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the pathogenesis of renal calculi.
    • To present findings from a 13-year investigation of 439 renal calculi patients.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of preventive measures for kidney stones.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 439 patients with renal calculi.
    • Investigation of potential pathogenetic abnormalities.
    • Review of preventive strategies for renal calculi.

    Main Results:

    • Abnormalities were found in 76% of patients.
    • Idiopathic hypercalciuria (42%), primary hyperparathyroidism (11%), and urinary infection (8%) were common.
    • Thiazides demonstrated efficacy in preventing calcium stones by reducing urinary calcium and increasing magnesium excretion.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant majority of renal calculi patients exhibit identifiable abnormalities.
    • Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a prevalent condition requiring attention.
    • Thiazide therapy is a valuable tool for preventing calcium-based kidney stones.
