Abstract

Renal stone continues to be a leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Renal stone recurs at high variable rate .There are certain predisposing factors identified for formation of kidney stones. In this retrospective study we identify the risk factor for incident renal stone formation in our local population. Hypocitraturia was the most common predisposing factor and was seen in 95 percent of the patient. The hypocitraturia did not normalize with the standard dosage of citrate supplementation in majority of the patient.
