Abstract
The risk of stone recurrence is 50 % over 5 years (approximately 10 %/year) or 80 % over your lifetime. Identifying risk factors associated with a patient’s stone can help minimize their risk for future stone disease. This chapter discusses the appropriate tests necessary for treatment of a stone and ultimately, stone prevention.
