[Urinary calculi in children. Etiologic survey].
Thirty-three children with urinary calculi were studied. In 12, a metabolic cause of calculi was identified (4 hyperoxaluria, 6 hypercalciuria, 2 cystinuria). In 14 children, lithiasis was associated with a urinary tract infection. No identifiable cause could be found in 7 children. A protocol for metabolic evaluation is proposed.
