CALCULI
• An abnormal or pathologic
concretion or mass of
mineral salts that occur in
the body
• Precipitation or
crystallization of minerals
in organs such as the
kidneys or the gall bladder

CALCULI
GALLSTONES
• Cholesterol stones
• Most common
• Form when amount of cholesterol exceeds or
supersaturates capacity of bile
• Pigment stones
• From crystallization of calcium bilirubinate
• May indicate infection
• Black or brown
TYPES OF CALCULI
CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Calcium stones
• Most common renal stones
• Contain Ca, PO4, oxalate
• Caused by excessive Ca in the body
• Hyperparathyroidism
TYPES OF CALCULI
CALCULI
• Uric acid
• Formed due to
• Low urine output
• High protein diet
• Increased alcohol
intake
• Struvite
• Affect more women
than men
• May accompany
renal infections
TYPES OF CALCULI
RENAL STONES
CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Cystine
• Rare
• Typically occur in individuals with family
history of cystinuria
TYPES OF CALCULI
CALCULI
GALLSTONES: Cholesterol
• Supersaturation of bile with cholesterol
• Intestinal hypomotility
• Excess in pro-nucleation factors, deficiency of
anti-nucleation factors
• Hypersecretion of mucus in the gall bladder
PROMOTING
FACTORS
CALCULI
GALLSTONES: Pigment
• Elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin in the
blood
• Hemolytic diseases
• Severe ileal dysfunction
• Intestinal hypomotility
• Infection of the biliary tree
• Bacteria (E. coli)
• Parasite (Ascaris lumbricoides)
• Fungi (Ophiocordyceps sinensi)
PROMOTING
FACTORS
CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Slow urine flow
• Damaged urinary tract lining
• Absence of inhibitory proteins
(nephrocalcin, Tamm-Horsfall protein,
uropontin)
• Intake of medication
• Dehydration
PROMOTING
FACTORS
CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Urine pH
• Acidic pH: favour precipitation and formation
of uric acid stones and cystine stones
• Alkaline pH: CaPO4 stones and struvite
stones
PROMOTING
FACTORS
CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Sufficient consumption of water
• Decreased protein intake

CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Normal concentration of urine elements

sufficient voiding)

• Pulsating, propagating pain that disappears
shortly after it begins

• Referred pain
CLINICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
CALCULI
RENAL STONES
• Severe pain in the back and sides of the
abdomen, just below the ribs

nausea or vomiting, fever, and chills
CLINICAL
MANIFESTATIONS

RENAL STONES
CLINICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
• Painful urination
• Hematuria or pink, red, or
brown urine with a foul
odour
• Changes in the voiding
pattern
• Small amounts of urine
may be voided at a time.

RENAL STONES
• Severe renal obstruction and the possibility of
infection
• Kidney failure
GALLSTONES
• Gall bladder inflammation
• Common bile/pancreatic duct blockage
• Gall bladder cancer
COMPLICATIONS
CALCULI
RENAL STONES

• Pyuria
• BUN, creatinine, and electrolytes
• Abdominal ultrasound
• Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)
LAB DIAGNOSIS

GALLSTONES
• Elevated serum aminotransferase, alkaline
phosphatase, bilirubin and amylase
• Blood test: look for signs of infection, obstruction,
pancreatitis, or jaundice.
