Abstract

The incidence of stones in children varies enormously geographically and is approximately 5–20 per 100,000 children aged less than 18 years [1]. A key difference between adult and paediatric stone disease is its recurrent nature. Identifying any underlying metabolic abnormality, reported in 33–93 % in the literature, is therefore essential [2]. Nevertheless, it is important to note that such assessment must not delay the treatment of the stones. At our institution, a metabolic abnormality is found in just under half the children presenting with stones, comprising hypercalciuria (57 %), cystinuria (23 %), hyperoxaluria (17 %) and hyperuricosuria (2 %) [3]. Infection is the second most common aetiology.
