A metabolic etiology is the most common cause for pediatric kidney stones. Appropriate evaluation of affected children should include assessment of stone type, if available, and assessment of predisposing factors in all cases.

Environmental and hereditary factors are summarized to provide a guide in the evaluation of pediatric stone formers.
