title: Medical management of calcium oxalate urolithiasis.
abstract: Dietary modifications and medical therapy can reduce the risk of urinary stone formation. Using the described stepwise approach, the medical management of stone disease should become a less daunting task for physicians. Unfortunately, the optimal medical and dietary management of urolithiasis remains uncertain and recurrent stone disease remains a significant cause of morbidity. Approaches to diagnosis and medical management have improved considerably in the last decade and it is hoped that well-designed studies in the near future will help further optimize management.
