title: Kidney stone disease. Experiences from Uppsala, Sweden.
abstract: In summary, several biochemical investigations give valuable information about a possible etiological explanation for the stone formation but to get a more complete picture of the individual stone former, some clinical aspects should be considered such as heredity for stone disease and the age of onset. All these factors are relevant when considering prophylactic treatment to stone formers.
