Study Notes
Chemical Composition of Kidney Crystals
- Major component: Calcium oxalate constitutes 60% of crystal formation.
- Calcium phosphate is present at 20%, indicating its role in kidney stone development.
- Minor amounts of other substances include calcium hydro phosphate (2%), uric acid (7%), and magnesium ammonium phosphate (7%).
- Cystine contributes between 1% to 3% to the composition.
- Additional compounds include 2, 8 dihydroadenines and xanthines.
Localization of Crystals
- Crystals are categorized into three types based on their location in the urinary tract:
- Type 1: Found in the upper, middle, and lower calyx, as well as the renal pelvis.
- Type 2: Located in the upper, middle, and distal parts of the ureter.
- Type 3: Present predominantly in the bladder.
Size and Spontaneous Passage
- Smaller-sized crystals have a higher chance of spontaneous passage, which is crucial in understanding kidney stone treatment and prevention.
