Format:Paperback
I have suffered from kidney stone disease for 12 years. After reading this book, I have gained a better understanding of my condition. The authors give you key prevention tools, and prevention is the only way to overcome this painful and potentially dangerous condition. I am now a patient of Dr. Rodman, and I know I will finally get well, and stay well. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from recurrent kidney stone disease.

I found "no More Kidney Stones" to be a clear presentation on how stones are formed and how to avoid them, or control their growth once you have them. The explanations of various medical processes, and how different substances impact the function of the body, were particularly useful to me. The dietary material is very comprehensive and helpful, with extensive "do's" and "don'ts", and what to do if you "do" a "don't". I found the book to be easy reading and informative.

Format:Paperback
The book is certainly readable and at least mentions many medical conditions associated with stones, but it lacks details on stone surgeries and emphasizes diet to the point where sample menus are half the book! There is no comprehensive review of methods for managing kidney stone pain or specific details about the various surgeries. While many medical problems are listed, they often have inadequate explanation or details. The new edition of "The Kidney Stones Handbook" by another author (just published) is much better.

Excellent : If you have had a kidney stone-Read this book
After my second kidney stone, I wondered how to be sure I would not form any more stones. My doctor told me "don't eat lettuce." This made no sense. Read more

Limited Value
As the other review said, excellent and clear description of how and why kidney stones occur. However, the dietry information is confused and badly organised. Read more

Approach with caution...
The authors provide a good overview of the relevant anatomy, physiology, and surgical management of stone disease, which is helpful and intelligible. Read more
