Résumé
The Consensus Conference Group recently published an article in Urolithiasis highlighting the importance of urine and stone analysis in the metabolic evaluation of kidney stone formers (KSF) [1]. Indeed, each kidney stone contains the imprints of the conditions which created them during their 'lifetime in the kidney'. The morpho-constitutional classification method (MCC) established by Prof Michel Daudon correlates the morphological characteristics of stones with specific metabolic disorders [2]. Briefly, it distinguishes 7 types and 21 subtypes according to the crystalline composition and shape, color and structure of stones identified using an optical stereomicroscope (Table 1). This very specific method is easy to learn and provides the opportunity to quickly identify highly recurrent diseases, sometimes serious in their clinical consequences. Indeed, subtypes Ic, Ie, IIId, IVa2 and V
