type of stone associated with an UTI caused by urease-producing bacteria. Stones can grow very large filling the renal pelvis and calyces. May be called staghorn stones because of their shape. (more common in women than men)
RISK FACTORS: UTIs, especially proteus infections
MANAGEMENT: surgery for the removal of stones. antibiotic for infection

Answer 9

struvite

Question 10

type of stone that is rare, associated with genetic defect of amino acid metabolism that precipitates insoluable cystine crystals.
RISK FACTORS: genetic defect, acid urine
MANAGEMENT: diet restricting sodium intake. increase hydration, and penicillamine, and sodium bicarb

Answer 10
