Abstract
We identified a low rate of underlying genetic or systemic diseases contributing to modern pediatric stone presentation and an increased proportion of idiopathic stones. Our study differs from historical findings by identifying a low rate of hypercalciuria and a high rate of low urine volume and hypocitraturia, suggestive of changing metabolic abnormalities contributing to modern pediatric stone disease.
