4. UROLITH Flashcards
stone formation requires?
supersaturated urine
3 most common incidence to formation of stones
U-P-C
uti - prostate - calculi
4 factors for saturation of urine
- acidic ph
- increased ionic strength
- solute concenration (citrate decreases)
- complexation
theory based on calculi formation due to absence of natural stone inhibitors (citrate)
crystall inhibitor theory
theory due to diet
nucleation theory
risk factors for RECURRENT stone formation
