    • نبذة مختصرة :
      Urinary tract stones can occur in the kidneys, ureters, or urinary bladder. These stones, or calculi, are caused by substances that precipitated in the urine. The most common substance that solidifies in the urine is calcium oxalate. Stones referred to as infective, however, are present in about 20 percent of patients with urinary tract stones. These stones typically occur in patients with chronic urinary tract infections. Bacteria in the urinary tract produce ammonia, which combines with calcium or magnesium. Infective stones have the potential to block large areas of the urinary tract.
