Nephrolithiasis, commonly known as kidney stones, are solids that form in the kidney. They can be found anywhere in the genitourinary tract. Bladder stones redirects here.
Classic types
- Calcium oxalate - most common.[1]
- Uric acid.
- Struvite.
- Cystine.
Notes:
- Memory devices:
- Diamonds are see-through; ergo, uric acid stones not seen on KUB.
- Calcium oxalate = envelope, uric acid = diamond.
- Uric acid crystals: usually dissolve in formalin... but do not dissolve in alcohol.[2]
- Calcium oxalate crystals are seen in the context of ethylene glycol poisoning.[3]
