Abstract

According to the most recent US statistics, the incidence of kidney stones is about 3–5 %, with the estimated cost of treatment more than $1.8 billion annually [1]. The incidence is at peak among white males age 20 and 30 years old. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III reported that there was a 5 % prevalence of stone formation among adults in the United States and this is a 4 % increase from the NHANES II period (1976–1980) [2].
