Protean and intangible manifestation of renal stones in children

Javaria Qamar, Muhammad Arif Mateen Khan, Zafar Nazir

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

In the last decade, renal stones are being diagnosed more frequently in children across the globe. Children with renal stone often present with non-specific and subtle symptoms. Diagnosis of urolithiasis in children therefore requires a high index of suspicion especially for those living in endemic regions and with a positive family history. Additionally, management requires judicious use of radiological imaging by treating physicians.
