Urinary lithiasis is one of the most common urinary tract pathologies worldwide, occurring both in the Western and Eastern regions. It has a prevalence of approximately 15% of the world's population, which demonstrates its clinical relevance. In Brazil, data shows that there are approximately 5-10% of individuals affected by this disease, with its incidence constantly increasing in the population. However, the figures are imprecise in relation to the diagnosis of urinary lithiasis in the regions of Brazil, especially in the Northeast.
