Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Urinary stone disease is a common and recurrent condition that can lead to complications such as urosepsis or urinary tract obstruction, which may progress to chronic kidney disease. Effective management requires close collaboration between urologists and nephrologists. Urologists manage acute episodes and perform the appropriate surgical procedures, whereas nephrologists conduct second-line metabolic assessments and implement targeted preventive strategies. Stone morpho-constitutional analysis and therapeutic patient education are essential pillars of care. Multidisciplinary meetings enhance coordination and clinician training. At Edouard Herriot Hospital, a structured pathway coordinated by an advanced practice nurse exemplifies the benefits of an integrated, patient-centred approach.
