description Objective: To assess the effect of the adherence to medical treatment on urinary parameters in the 24-h metabolic study of patients with kidney stones. Methods: A retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive, and observational study was carried out by reviewing the hospital electronic medical record from 2014 to 2018. The adherence to drug treatment was measured 6 months after its initiation, and the numerical values of the metabolic studies were compared. Wilcoxon tests were performed to compare the difference before and after treatment. Results: Ninety patients were evaluated, with 73.3% of adherence. The 180-day overall adherence rate was 61.2% in patients treated with a single drug and 85.4% in patients treated with multiple drugs. There is a statistically significant increase in citrate levels in patients with good adherence in comparison with non-adherent patients (p=0.031 vs. p=0.528). Conclusions: Medical treatment and dietary measures in patients with kidney stones have an initial impact at 6 months on the values of the main urinary metabolic alterations that predispose to calculi formation; the most significant is seen in those patients with adherence to medical treatment for hypocitraturia.
