We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) and 24 h urine osmolality for recurrent calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones. Clinical data of 120 patients with upper urinary tract stones admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into recurrence (53 patients) and non-recurrence (67 patients) groups based on postoperative stone recurrence. Meanwhile, 50 healthy patients were selected as the control group. Urinary THP levels, 24 h urine osmolality, and biochemical indices were compared between the three groups; their diagnostic values for stone recurrence were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Urinary THP, 24 h urine osmolality, and biochemical indices were significantly higher in the recurrence group than in the non-recurrence and control groups ( P  &lt; 0.05). The 24 h urine osmolality was positively correlated with urinary oxalic acid and calcium excretion. ROC curve analysis showed that optimal cutoff values of urinary THP and 24 h urine osmolality for the diagnosis of stone development were ≥27.01 mg/L and ≥577.69 mOsm/(kg H 2 O), respectively. Furthermore, these indices combined significantly improved the accuracy of diagnosis. Urinary THP and 24 h urine osmolality were higher in patients with recurrent CaOx stones. Detection of both parameters combined can accurately diagnose stone recurrence.
