There is no single previous study of renal stone in the Saurashtra region had been done, in spite of claims that a “stone belt” exists in this region. Due to lack of epidemiological data a startling gap remains between the services offered and the benefits incurred.

This report is the first description of the epidemiology of renal stones in a Saurashtra region.
