[Metaphylaxis of recurrent renal calcium stones].
Calcium containing renal stones represent a common medical problem and show a high rate of recurrence. Therefore, besides the treatment of acute stone episodes, also the prevention of new stone episodes is of crucial importance in the medical care of stone formers. To avoid stone recurrences, medical as well as dietary measures should be established based on the results of a thorough evaluation and the elaboration of an individual risk profile. This review article describes and discusses the currently established treatment options for the prophylaxis of calcium-containing renal stones.
