BARCO-CASTILLO, Catalina et al. Metabolic studies and calculi analysis in urinary lithiasis, how to stop recurrence?. Urol. Colomb. [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.1, pp.15-22.  Epub 19-Maio-2024. ISSN 2027-0119.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ruc.22000003.

Urinary lithiasis is the most frequent urological consultation to the emergency room due to renoureteral colic. Complications include hematuria, anuria due to bilateral or unilateral obstruction in solitary kidney, and sepsis. Recurrence occurs in up to 50% of patients after 5 years from the first episode, and those will need metabolic studies and calculi analysis. Pharmacological management and dietary measures will prevent new episodes. We aim to describe each metabolic disorder associated with its respective type of calculi, and its management based on prevention of recurrence of urinary lithiasis.
