Marickar YMF et al. – Single family member involvement was more than multiple involvements. Males predominated. Stone occurrence was more in the immediate family members than distant relatives. Brothers formed the most common group to be involved with stone disease. Study of stone risk in the family members should be centred on brothers and sons of stone patients.

| Prevention of future stone formation is the primary aim of any clinician treating a patient with urinary stone disease. Among the several risk factors considered in predicting future stone formation, positive family history appears important. Relatives of stone patients seek advice regarding prophylaxis against possible stone initiation. Further studies in follow up of the families are needed to answer this question. This paper is a beginning in that direction. |
