Abstract

Nephrolithiasis is a relatively common disease in medical practice. There are no recent, updated reviews on this topic in Colombian literature and to fill this need the present one was written. The different aspects of calcium lithiasis are analyzed in a practical and simplified although comprehensive way, emphasizing pathophysiology, patient evaluation, management of lithiasis (fluids, diet and drug therapy) and new methods for stone removal. Other types of calculi are briefly discussed. Management of the renal colic is not included.
