* '''Fish oil'''
** '''An effective, first-line therapy for mild-moderate hypercalciuria'''
*** Thought to have a protective role in preventing nephrolithiasis by decreasing urinary calcium and oxalate excretion through alteration of prostaglandin metabolism
* '''Hyperparathyroidism complicated by stone disease'''
**'''Best treated with surgical excision of the adenoma'''

* '''Enteric hyperoxaluria'''
** '''Fluid intake should be strongly encouraged to correct the relative state of dehydration'''
** '''Dietary/supplemental calcium may help bind intestinal oxalate and decrease its absorption'''
** '''Treatment with potassium citrate (60 to 120 mEq/day) may correct the hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria''' and, in some individuals, increase urinary citrate toward normal.

* '''Hypomagnesuric Calcium Nephrolithiasis'''
** Magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide can be used to restore urinary magnesium; hypocitraturia can be corrected with potassium citrate
*** Use of magnesium has been limited by the risk for diarrhea
*** Potassium-magnesium may restore urinary magnesium and citrate levels with minimal GI side effects
