Urolithiasis and race: another viewpoint. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We describe 193 consecutive individuals with documented urolithiasis in a military population. In contrast to other reports, the prevalence of stone disease was nearly identical in white-and black patients. This unique black population refutes the concept that urinary calculi are rare in blacks.
