简要总结
Calcium oxalate stone, the most common type worldwide, has a recurrence rate of around 50% in ten years. Therefore, identifying the underlying pathophysiological aspects via metabolic evaluation and suggestions for medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients is of upmost importance.
However, one of the greatest problem with metabolic evaluation and subsequent therapeutic advices is the patient compliance. Therefore, it is important to identify factors related to patient compliance for metabolic evaluation and medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients
详细描述
Nephrolithiasis is an important health problem that can deteriorate the renal functions in long term and affects the patients' quality of life. One of the major problems about renal stones is the high rate of recurrence. Calcium oxalate stone, the most common type worldwide, has a recurrence rate of around 50% in ten years. Therefore, identifying the underlying pathophysiological aspects via metabolic evaluation and suggestions for medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients is of upmost importance.
However, one of the greatest problem with metabolic evaluation and subsequent therapeutic advices is the patient compliance. In the previous studies, even in case of a dedicated stone clinic, the drop out rate for preventive measures were over 37% per year. The patients' non-compliance may be related to a number of factors associated with the stone clinic, demographic characteristics of the patients, past medical history of the patients, and even the recommended tests and the therapeutic advices.
Therefore, it is important to identify factors related to patient compliance for metabolic evaluation and medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients
