Most Patients Unaware of What Their 24-Hour Urine Test Results Mean

Kidney Stone patients are often told that 24-hour urine tests are useful for identifying their risk factors, and the diet and lifestyle changes they can make to prevent future stones. However, more than half of patients we polled recently were unaware of what their test results meant. Many felt that the information given was generic, and lacked actionable takeaways.

Are we squandering a valuable test by failing to follow up on the results meaningfully with patients?
