Stone recurrence is very common. The metabolic evaluation can help direct dietary and medical approaches to stone prevention. What is not known is whether a directed approach is more successful than an empiric approach. How many 24-h urine evaluations should be obtained? How often should one follow these patients? These issues and more will be addressed in this chapter.
