Improved 24-hour urine parameters associated with reduced symptomatic kidney stone recurrence.

ABSTRACT: On-treatment 24-h urine testing rates are low outside of tertiary care centers. A common criticism is the paucity of evidence demonstrating the optimization of urinary parameters correlates with reduced stone recurrence. Using standard and novel analytic approaches, we sought to evaluate whether improvements in 24-h urine parameters associated with decreased symptomatic stone recurrence. Kidney stone patients who underwent multiple 24-h urine tests and had an initial parameter abnormality were identified from a prospective database. A novel 24-h urine severity score was calculated at both the initial and subsequent tests and used to stratify patients. Negative binomial regression was used to evaluate the impact of analyte changes on stone recurrence. Two hundred patients met inclusion crit
