condition causing kidney stone formation

types of kidney stones

  • calcium salts

  • uric acid

  • mg ammonium po4

  • cystine

  • other xanthine, etc.

WHAT ARE KIDNEY STONE

  • renal calculi [kidney stone] are formed in renal tubules, ureter or bladder.

  • composed of metabolic product present in glomerular filtrate.

  • these products are in high conc.

CONDITION COUSING KIDNEY STONE FORMATION

  • high conc. of metabolic in glomerular filtrate

  • change in urine pH

    urinary stagnation

  • deficiency of stone forming inhibitors in urine

  • change in urine pH due to

bacterial infection precipitation of salts at different pH

  • urinary stagnation is due to.

obstruction of urinary flow

  • deficiency of stone -forming inhibitor.

citrate, pyrophosphate, glycoproteins inhibit growth of calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate crystals.

in type 1 renal tubular acidosis hypocitraturia leads to renal stone.
