Subjects
medicine.medical_specialty, Stone formation, business.industry, Urinary system, food and beverages, Stone analysis, Risk evaluation, Internal medicine, Medicine, In patient, Medical history, Stone composition, business, Stone disease
Abstract

This chapter is an overview of the biochemical evaluation of patients with urinary tract stone disease. The aim is to give practical aspects on how the search for risk factors can be carried out when stone composition is known or unknown. The physical chemistry of stone formation is superficially touched.

25. Epidemiological and Etiological Considerations

Author

Hans-Göran Tiselius

Subjects
medicine.medical_specialty, Stone formation, Calcium stone, business.industry, education, Epidemiology, Etiology, medicine, Recurrent stone, Stone composition, Intensive care medicine, business, Stone disease
Abstract

This chapter summarizes and discusses some aspects of stone disease from an epidemiological and etiological point of view. The discussion is based on selected data that have been given in the various preceding chapters. In view of what we know so far and regarding recent findings in calcium stone formation, attempts are made to predict in which direction stone research best should move. Improved methods to identify risk factors of stone formation might thus give us a basis for more efficient prevention tools for patients with recurrent stone formation.

26. Renal Stone Disease in Different Racial Groups

Author

Naveed Haroon, Alberto Trinchieri, and Jamsheer Talati

Subjects
Cross over, Geography, Racial differences, Racial group, Stone composition, Convergence (relationship), Renal stone disease, Demography
Abstract

A study of racial differences in stone type and metabolic abnormalities over time suggests a convergence to a common pattern across the world. This conclusion is supported by studies of individuals of different races who cross over into another geographical and cultural milieu. Nevertheless, gender differences do exist, and some distinctive geographical differences in idiopathic stone patterns remain. The relative influence of genetic and environmental factors in the genesis of stone remains unknown, but appears to favor the hypothesis that the apparent racial differences arise from environmental and dietary influences.
