[Effective treatment of urolithiasis requires metabolic classification (author's transl)].
A diagnostic program for the metabolic classification of urolithiasis is proposed on the basis of pathophysiologic mechanisms. It allows categorization of patients in various subgroups, which is a prerequisite for the different regimens of non-surgical treatment. The characteristic clinical and biochemical features underlying this classification are outlined.
