This document discusses metabolic evaluation and stone analysis for kidney stones. It explains that stone analysis identifies the stone composition and underlying causes, which helps determine the appropriate treatment plan. A variety of tests are used, including blood and urine tests, 24-hour urine collection to measure supersaturation levels, and analyzing the stone composition. Integrating the results of these analyses can identify metabolic abnormalities and other factors in 90-95% of cases, guiding personalized medical management and prevention of future stone recurrences.
