Abstract in brief

The guideline aims to provide a clear framework for diagnosing, preventing, and following up with adult patients who have kidney stones, using the best available research.
The guidelines were primarily based on a systematic review by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and supplemented by additional research from 2007 to 2012, resulting in 46 studies being reviewed.
Clinicians are guided on screening evaluations, metabolic testing, and specific medication and dietary recommendations for patients, focusing on effective strategies to reduce the recurrence of kidney stones.
