Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was troubled with kidney stones for most of his adult life. Three times during his political career, he required either endoscopic or open surgical removal of stones. This review will highlight the symptomatic presentation of his stones, his nephrolithiasis' effect on his political career, and the methods used and reasoning for treating his nephrolithiasis.
