Abstract
Urinary stones in children are usually genetic and most commonly due to hypercalciuria. Symptoms of urolithiasis in children differ among age groups. Isolated hematuria in children may be caused by hypercalciuria and precede calculus formation. Careful evaluation successfully identifies the cause of urinary stones in most children, although diagnostic criteria may vary in different age groups. Therapies should be targeted to the underlying diagnosis.
