title: [The place of mineral water in the metaphylaxis of urolithiasis].
abstract: Urinary stone disease is a metabolic disorder tending to recur and having a growing proportion of younger patients. Current methods of surgical treatment do not guarantee the disease non-recurrence without effective subsequent metaphylaxis. At present, the principles of general and special (medical) metaphylaxis of urolithiasis have been developed and widely applied according to underlying metabolic disorders, the type of stone formation and risk factors for recurrence. Oversaturation of the urine with stone forming substances is a major factor in stone formation. Recommendations for using mineral water should not be given without a clear understanding of the expected effect of particular water. Its selection for treating urolithiasis depends on the chemical composition of the stones, underlying metabolic disorders, urine pH, the functional state of the gastrointestinal tract, concomitant diseases, etc.
