Although renal stones in pregnancy are relatively rare, there may be an associated risk of serious adverse obstetrical outcomes. However, further research is required to understand whether these obstetrical outcomes are causal or due to other confounders. Interdisciplinary care and pregnancy-specific counseling should be advised for pregnant women with kidney stones.
