Urinary stones and Crohn's disease.
Urinary stones, renal and bladder, are common in the general population of the United States. The pathophysiology of Crohn's disease and therapeutic interventions can contribute to the development of kidney stones usually secondary to malabsorption. Knowledge of these effects is important when caring for patients with urinary stones and intestinal disease.
