Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Nephrology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Context:

  • Urinary calculi (kidney stones) can rarely be caused by certain medications.
  • Identifying drug-induced lithiasis is essential for patient management.
  • A comprehensive review of drug etiological factors for urinary calculi is presented.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the importance of considering drug-induced urinary calculi.
  • To emphasize the necessity of detailed medication history in patients with lithiasis.
  • To discuss the spectrum of lithogenic drugs and their associated risks.

Summary:

  • Drug-induced urinary calculi, though uncommon, necessitate careful consideration of pharmacotherapy.
  • A complete anamnesis of drug intake and dosages is mandatory for patients presenting with lithiasis.
