Advances in knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms permit the categorization of patients to low and high risk for recurrence, with specific metabolic abnormalities diagnosed in the second category. Follow-up is essential for patients with urolithiasis and consists of both imaging and metabolic follow-up with urine studies. No formal guidelines or solid evidence currently exists regarding frequency and type of follow-up studies to be performed in each category. This review aims to summarize existing evidence regarding follow-up, in order to guide clinicians on how and when to follow-up urolithiasis patients according to existing clinical scenario.Keywords: urolithiasis, imaging follow-up, metabolic follow-up, recurrence |
