<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Results:</b> From a total of 1050 studies identified through the database search, 71 articles were selected for the review. According to the results of this review, pediatric nephrolithiasis has an increasing rate worldwide. Recent studies in this regard indicated that the number of girls with nephrolithiasis has increased. The change of life style, diet, obesity and metabolic syndrome and popular imaging study along with referral of the patients to pediatric centers could be contributed to this trend.</p>
