Marickar YMF et al. – Temporary risk index is correlatable with the permanent risk index of the patients forming urinary stones. It can be used as a method for scientific prediction regarding future stone formation in any individual. The dose of drugs and need for continuing chemotherapy for patients should be based on the temporary risk index. The blind prescription of drugs should be discouraged.

| Temporary risk index takes into consideration the presenting symptoms and the status of urianry deposits. These actually indicate the extent of stone activity of the individual stone patient. So this assessment should be the consideration for deciding the dose of drugs in modulated drug therapy. Stone disease should be consdiered as a complex metabolic abnormality with waxing and waning periods of metabolic hyperactivity deciding the recurrent episodes of stone activity. Such period os hyperactivity can be assessed by calculating the temporary risk index. |
