Nephrolithiasis is caused by several biochemical mechanisms, identification of which allows specific therapy that may prevent recurrences. In patients with their first kidney stone, careful evaluation is needed to identify those at highest risk for recurrence. Extensive evaluation of this subgroup should lead to proper diagnosis and management of nephrolithiasis, resulting in lower morbidity for these patients.
