6. Calcium Stones
Most Common Types of Stones
Calcium is a normal part of a healthy
life and is used by bones and muscles.
Calcium not used by the body goes to
the kidneys where it is normally
flushed out with the rest of the urine.
In some people, however, the calcium
that stays behind joins with other
waste products to form a stone.

Referred to as Infection Stones
Struvite stones are a type of stone
that contains the mineral magnesium
and the waste product ammonia. It
may form after an infection in the
urinary system.

8. Uric Acid Stones
Radiolucent kidney stones in children
are the most common cause of radiolucent
kidney stones in children. Several products of
purine metabolism are relatively insoluble and
can precipitate when urinary pH is low. These
include 2- or 8-dihydroxyadenine, adenine,
xanthine, and uric acid. Uric acid stones may
form when there is too much acid in the
urine.

9. Cystine Stones
Cystine stones consist of cystine
One of the building blocks that make
up muscles, nerves, and other parts of
the body, can build up in the urine
