Brief summary
The SKSC is a continuous database with the objective of a standardized diagnosis and monitoring of patients with kidney stones as well as the establishment of a Biobank.
Detailed description
The objective of this study is multi-site, standardized observation and characterization of kidney stone patients. Furthermore, an adequate structure should be established for the execution of studies with kidney stone patients, in order to then, if necessary, develop recommendations for useful monitoring or prophylactic measures, as well as new treatment options for kidney stone patients. A control group of 250 stone-free volunteers matching patients cohort participants for sex and age started recruitment in October 2017 and will serve the purpose of comparison in future studies.
