Endoscopically visible Randall’s plaques are an independent predictor of future stone events
Key Points
Endoscopically visible Randall's plaques independently predict future stone events, suggesting a critical marker for risk assessment.
Presence of Randall's plaques in the urinary tract was observed to correlate with increased likelihood of stone formation.
An observational analysis assessed patients with Randall's plaques and tracked their stone event occurrences over time.
These findings highlight the importance of monitoring patients with Randall's plaques for proactive clinical management, indicating a need for further studies.
