What is Urinary Volume, Water Intake, and Stone Recurrence in Idiopathic Calcium Nephrolithiasis: A 5-Year Randomized Prospective Study about?

This chapter reviews a pivotal trial on the role of increased water intake for secondary prevention of recurrent stone formation patients with idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis. Patients randomized to the intervention arm were instructed to titrate their water intake to a daily urine output of at least 2 liters; patients in the control arms were not given any specific instructions. Increased water intake resulted in fewer stone recurrences, longer time to recurrence, and reduced calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate supersaturation.
