About
Kay Thomas is a leading paediatric urologist whose research has significantly advanced the understanding and management of urinary stone disease in children. Her work focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term outcomes of paediatric urolithiasis, a condition that has seen rising incidence worldwide. Thomas is best known for her systematic review and update on behalf of the EAU Urolithiasis Guidelines Panel, which synthesised evidence on imaging modalities and treatment strategies for upper tract stones in children. This highly cited work (60 citations) has become a cornerstone for clinicians, providing clear, evidence-based recommendations for minimising radiation exposure while optimising stone detection and surgical outcomes. Her contributions have helped standardise care and highlight the unique challenges of treating young patients, from metabolic evaluation to minimally invasive techniques. Thomas’s research not only informs international guidelines but also underscores her commitment to improving paediatric surgical practice. Through her rigorous systematic reviews and collaborative efforts, she has established herself as a key voice in paediatric urology, shaping how clinicians approach stone disease in children.
