Abstract

A risk index which would reliably predict the likelihood of stone recurrence in the patient with renal calculi would help the clinician to select appropriate preventative therapy. However, none of the indices developed to date combines easy applicability in usual clinical settings with sufficient predictive power to be useful to the clinician in making treatment decisions.
