Nephrolithiasis is the third most common diagnosis involving the
urinary tract, exceeded only by urinary tract infections and
prostate conditions. Uric acid nephrolithiasis accounts for 5-10 %
of all kidney stones in the general population in the United States
(US) and is noted to be increasing in other parts of the world like
Japan, previously known to have a low incidence of this condition.
This increase is attributable, at least in part, to westernised
eating habits. Other factors which influence development of kidney
stones include age, sex and ethnicity. This book discusses in
further details, the risk factors, treatment options and ways to
prevent nephrolithiasis.
