Patients living in underserved areas do regularly express an interest in stone prevention; however, factors limiting participation, aside from obvious cost considerations, are largely unknown. To better understand factors associated with compliance with submitting 24-hour urine collections, we reviewed our patient experience at the kidney stone clinic at a hospital that provides care for an underserved urban community.
