</div>BALTIMORE, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, the American Urological Association (AUA) released the 2026 Medical Management of Kidney Stones Guideline, providing evidence-based recommendations to help clinicians diagnose, treat, prevent, and monitor kidney stones in both adults and children. Kidney stones are a common and often recurring condition that can cause significant pain and lead to emergency department visits and other complications. This Guideline reflects the latest clinical evidence to support effective treatment and prevention strategies, including dietary and pharmacologic treatment options to reduce stone recurrence and improve patient outcomes. “This updated Guideline reflects important advances in our understanding of stone disease, including the role of tailored dietary strategies and targeted pharmacologic therapies,” said Brian R. Matlaga, MD, MPH, co-chair of the Guideline. “It provides a practical, evidence-based roadmap to help clinicians optimize care for both adult and pediatric patients.” The Guideline includes 39 recommendations covering the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and follow-up care of patients with kidney stones. Key topics addressed in the Guideline include: <ul><li>Evaluating and diagnosing kidney stone disease in adults and children</li><li>Using dietary modifications and medications to help prevent and manage kidney stones</li><li>Monitoring patients on treatment for recurrence and adverse events</li></ul> “This Guideline brings together the latest, high-quality evidence to support clinicians in delivering individualized, effective care for patients with kidney stones,” said Margaret S. Pearle MD, PhD, FRCS, co-chair of the Guideline. “By emphasizing both prevention and long-term management, we aim to reduce recurrence and improve patient outcomes across diverse populations.” The full 2026 Medical Management of Kidney Stones Guideline is available at <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=1R4hdxdEkZg0Z1IiNFr1lbzjvYHfHTNzzvXFeL79h5lXtbUI0yWYhlY_JvRS4JcWCqMAk2PUsARLrvYXOy832aNotg322ScILja7o84gG1aVm1po33vc3jVF2c3hVQCTWKrsrvuRKmDLcK5CqhNOtQ==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="AUAnet.org/2026MedStoneGuideline.">AUAnet.org/2026MedStoneGuideline.</a> A summary of the Guideline is available at: Pearle MS, Matlaga BR, Antonelli JA, et al.
