* Any evaluation for recurrent stone disease should be able to identify associated metabolic disorders such as distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA), primary hyperparathyroidism, enteric hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, and gouty diathesis
* '''Goals of evaluation'''
*First-time stone formers have been estimated to have a 50% risk for recurrence within the subsequent 10 years
**'''Identify potential associated metabolic disorders such as (5)'''
** Patients at higher risk for repeat episodes:
**#'''Distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA)'''
*** Family history of stones
**#'''Primary hyperparathyroidism'''
*** Intestinal disease (particularly when causing chronic diarrheal states)
**#'''Enteric hyperoxaluria'''
*** Pathologic skeletal fractures
**#'''Cystinuria'''
*** Osteoporosis
**#'''Gouty diathesis'''
*** UTI
**'''Reduce risk of stone recurrence'''
*** Gout
