Among the prerenal risk factors of stone disease, diet plays an important role. Various interventional studies have provided evidence that appropriate dietary modifications can reduce the risk of stone formation and recurrence rate. Individualized dietary recommendations should be offered to patients according to their stone type, specific metabolic, and dietary risk profile. The reduction of overweight, risk-adapted dietary modifications based on a comprehensive dietary assessment as well as appropriate changes in lifestyle are the basis of a successful metaphylaxis in urinary stone disease. © 2011 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
