This is the largest study of transplant nephrolithiasis confirming that hypocitraturia and hyperoxaluria were the most significant urine metabolic risk factors associated with allograft nephrolithiasis and that hyperoxaluria was the most prevalent driver for calcium oxalate stone composition. Our study is first to show low stone-free rates at the last follow-up and a significant proportion requiring surgical intervention.
