Abstract

In patients with a renal stone, management aims to detect complications, triage to expectant observation or active intervention and identify any predisposing factors. Referral for active urological intervention or detailed metabolic evaluation may be indicated. Dietary and lifestyle interventions may help decrease the risk of recurrences.
