The causes of stone formation include metabolic abnormalities, local causes such as urinary tract obstruction and drug-related factors, etc. The specific causes can be clarified through routine blood and urine tests.
1. Metabolic abnormalities: including urinary pH, hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria and so on. Some patients are prone to urinary stones because of metabolic disorders such as cystinuria, hypocitraturia and hypomagnesiuria.
2. Local etiology: obstruction can lead to infection and stone formation, while the stone itself is also a foreign body in the urinary tract, the latter will aggravate the degree of obstruction and infection, is the main factor in the formation of stones.
3. Drug-related factors: drug-induced kidney stones are divided into two categories, one for the high concentration in the urine and relatively low solubility, such as amphotericin, ceftriaxone sodium. The other can induce stone formation, such as vitamin D and vitamin C, cortisol and so on. The above drugs can lead to the formation of other constituent stones during metabolism.
The causes of stone formation include metabolic abnormalities, etc. Patients can visit the hospital for examination to clarify the specific causes.
