Cheat Sheet: Epidemiology, aetiology, classification and diagnosis
Urinary stones can be classified according to aetiology of stone formation, stone composition (mineralogy), stone size, stone location, and X-ray characteristics of the stone. Stone incidence depends on geographical, climatic, ethnic, dietary and genetic factors. The recurrence risk is determined by the disease or disorder causing the stone formation. Prevalence rates vary from 1% to 20%. Emerging evidence links nephrolithiasis to the risk of chronic kidney disease.
