Idiopathic hypercalciuria is the most common cause of nephrolithiasis, and calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of stones in idiopathic hypercalciuric patients. Calcium phosphate stones are frequently associated with other diseases such as renal tubular acidosis type 1, urinary tract infections, and hyperparathyroidism. Compared with flat abdominal film and renal sonography, a noncontrast helical computed tomography scan of the abdomen is the diagnostic procedure of choice for detection of small and radiolucent kidney stones with sensitivity and specificity of nearly 100%. Stones smaller than 5 mm in diameter often pass the urinary tract system and rarely require surgical interventions. The main risk factors for stone formation are low urine output, high urinary concentrations of calcium, oxalate, phosphate, and uric acid compounded by a lower excretion of magnesium and citrate. A complete metabolic workup to identify the risk factors is highly recommended in patients who have passed multiple kidney stones or those with recurrent disease. Calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stones are treated by the use of thiazide diuretics, allopurinol, and potassium citrate. Strategies to prevent kidney stone recurrence should include the elimination of the identified risk factors and a dietary regimen low in salt and protein, rich in calcium and magnesium which is coupled with adequate fluid intake.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpvm.ijpvm_17_17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,6]],"date-time":"2017-09-06T05:18:58Z","timestamp":1504675138000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Preventive Kidney Stones: Continue Medical Education"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Farahnak","family":"Assadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Section of Nephrology, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mastaneh","family":"Moghtaderi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Tehran University of Medical Science, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250812","first-page":"101","article-title":"Epidemiology of urolithiasis: An update","volume":"5","author":"Trinchieri","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin Cases Miner Bone Metab"},{"key":"R2-20250812","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1847","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2011-3492","article-title":"Clinical review.
