With the improvement of people's living standards,the incidence of nephrolithiasis is increasing year by year.Nephrolithiasis poses a serious threat to the patients due to the unclear etiology,complicated composition of stones,and high recurrence rate after surgery.As the research on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of nephrolithiasis keeps deepening in recent years,researchers have made achievements in the drug treatment,which has become a hot topic for urologists.This paper reviews the advances in the research on the possible formation mechanism and drug-induced litholysis and prevention for nephrolithiasis,aiming to provide theoretical references for subsequent clinical research.
