Abstract
- Pediatric nephrolithiasis is less common in children than in adults but the incidence has been rising rapidly, and it is now a public health and economic burden in the United States. There are challenges unique to children that should be taken into consideration when evaluating and managing pediatric stone disease. In this review, we present the current research on risk factors, emerging new technologies for treatment of stones and recent investigations on prevention of stones in this population.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
