This article presents an analysis of literature data of the study of exogenous and endogenous etiologic risk factors for the progression of urolithiasis in elderly and senile patients, the clinical course, modern treatment methods and tactics for managing patients of this age group. It was noted that patients of the older age group require special attention both in the choice of treatment tactics and in further observation due to a decrease in the functional reserves of the renal parenchyma and the presence of concomitant diseases. In the diagnosis and treatment of urolithiasis in elderly patients are preferred to use non-invasive methods. (For citation: Agenosov MP, Kagan OF, Kheyfets VKh.
