The prevalence of kidney stones is increasing in industrialized nations, resulting in a corresponding rise in economic burden. Nephrolithiasis is now recognized as both a chronic and systemic condition, which further underscores the impact of the disease. Diet and environment play an important role in stone disease, presumably by modulating urine composition. Dietary modification as a preventive treatment to decrease lithogenic risk factors and prevent stone recurrence has gained interest…

Dietary calcium should be gradually increased in stone-formers as guided by the urinary calcium, and hypocalciuric agents should be added as necessary, but future prospective studies should be designed to probe the effect of specific interventions with calcium on urinary parameters and stone formation.
