Flea-Bitten (Ruptured capillaries from high BP)
Occlusion shunts pressure to contralateral kidney
PSGN

Most common in drug users, Black people, Hispanics, HIV
Most common types of kidney stones
Calcium phosphate, calcium oxalate (square)
Coffin-Lid crystals
Triple phosphate (struvite) stones
Rosette Christal kidney stones
