Purpose of Review: The review aims to understand how well patients follow dietary recommendations to prevent kidney stone recurrence and to identify strategies that can enhance their compliance with these dietary guidelines. Recent Findings: The review found that adherence to dietary prevention measures for nephrolithiasis is generally low, with only about 30% of patients following recommendations. Factors affecting adherence include education, comorbidities, and misconceptions. Strategies to improve adherence include clear communication, tailored plans, and the use of technology like mHealth and telemedicine. Summary: This mini review assesses patient adherence to dietary prevention measures for nephrolithiasis and explores methods to maintain or improve it. The review identifies factors affecting adherence, such as limited education, poverty, and misconceptions about the disease. It emphasizes the importance of clear communication, tailored dietary plans, and regular monitoring by healthcare providers to enhance patient compliance and improve health outcomes
