Acetazolamide-induced renal calculi

J Urol. 1975 Oct;114(4):610-2. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)67096-4.

Abstract

The occurrence of urinary calculi associated with acetazolamide therapy is described. Patients with a history of urinary stones or surgery are a significant risk for further calculus formation when treated with acetazolamide. The concurrent use of sodium bicarbonate further potentiates this risk.
