Nephrolithiasis and Nephrocalcinosis
Chapter
Abstract
From time to time in most people, the urine separates into a solid and liquid phase. Unlike birds, which regularly produce a semisolid urine, all mammals have renal tubules and urinary collecting systems whose lumens are narrow and easily obstructed. As long as the solid phase in urine consists of very tiny particles, 0.1 to 10 microns in diameter, phase separation is asymptomatic. Larger particles can block tubule lumens or may adhere to papillary surfaces. Once anchored, a particle can then grow until its dimensions become similar in magnitude to those of the urinary tract, i.e., millimeters to centimeters in diameter. Then it can cause clinical disease.
