Because there is a likelihood of recurrence of renal calculi, it is very important that the patient:
1. is aware of signs and symptoms of kidney stones and know where to find pain relief.
2. measures intake and output so that they will be approximately equal.
3. avoids infections and situations that would increase stress.
4. is able to describe measures to prevent recurrence of calculi.

The patient needs to possess the information necessary to understand the formation of stones to reduce the risk of their recurrence.
