Background: The incidence of paediatric stone disease is increasing in developing countries and is associated with significant morbidity. It is very important to know the epidemiology of stone disease particularly in pediatric patients in order to provide adequate treatment and to develop preventive strategies. Methods: After approval from institutional ethical committee, we performed a retrospective note review of radiological data for all children presenting during the period from August 2009 to August 2019, in Government Medical College, Orai (Jalaun) and tertiary care district hospital Jhansi. Results: As per initial records, 1341 children had underwent abdominal sonography in the study period out of which 312 were omitted due to inadequate patient details or records or due to exclusion criteria.

Conclusion: In conclusion, we here present the largest cohort of paediatric stone disease in western developed countries published up to date demonstrating that metabolic risk factors accounting for one-third of all calculi with an increased risk of bilateral disease.
