Bladder Stones
The kidney stones are called bladder stones or ureterolithiasis. The disease results from the renal calculi in the ureter. Bladder stones are basically solid concretions or the calculi that are basically formed in the kidneys. These calculi are formed through dissolved urinary minerals. There are several types of stones in the bladder majority of which are calcium oxalates and calcium phosphate. Rarely there may be chance of struvite as stones. The struvite stones are formed when urea-splitting bacteria are found during the urinary tract infections. Those with metabolic abnormalities produce uric acid and cystine stones.
