Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Thiazide diuretics are used to prevent the recurrence of calcium-containing kidney stones. The ability of these drugs to reduce urinary calcium excretion has a key role in this process. Although studies have shown a reduction in the recurrence rate of calcium-containing stones in patients treated with thiazides, whether hypocalciuria results from increased calcium reabsorption in the proximal or distal nephron is still unclear. When extracellular fluid volume is considerably reduced, the proximal tubule is likely to have a major role in thiazide-induced hypocalciuria. This process frequently occurs when high doses of thiazides and sodium restriction are prescribed for the treatment of kidney stone disease. The distal tubule is predominantly involved in NaCl cotransporter inhibition-induced hypocalciuria when the extracellular fluid volume is not reduced, a clinical scenario observed in patients with Gitelman syndrome. In this Perspectives article, we discuss the evidence supporting the hypocalciuric effects of NaCl cotransporter inhibition in the proximal and distal nephron. © 2011 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
