The incidence of renal calculus disease increases with age and can be found as chronic or acute problems in elderly patients. The majority of stones are composed of calcium oxalate, but the incidence of infected stones increases in elderly, debilitated patients. Treatment of renal calculus disease has been revolutionized in the past decade through the use of percutaneous and extracorporeal techniques to eliminate standard open surgery. Medical therapy to control recurrent renal calculus disease has been effective in decreasing chronic nephrolithiasis.
The areas on either side of the renal pyramids are called renal columns. These structures contain blood vessels and urine-collecting ducts that help transport urine from the renal pyramids to the renal pelvis.
the medulla is organized into a GROUP of pyramids. It makes up the pyramids.
Renal Pyramids - The renal medulla consists of 6 to 18 distinct conical or triangular structures called renal pyramids.
The kidneys or kidney area. Renal referrs to kidney function.
The portion of the kidney that extends between the renal pyramids is called the renal columns. They are composed of cortical tissue and serve to separate the renal pyramids.

Another name for a renal calculus is a kidney stone. These hard mineral and salt deposits form in the kidneys and can cause significant pain when passing through the urinary tract. Kidney stones can vary in size and composition, with common types including calcium oxalate, uric acid, and struvite stones.

Diabetes is one of the main diseases that affects the kidneys the most. High blood pressure can also damage the kidneys and then there are specific diseases that only target the kidneys as well. Hyponatremia, Hypernatremia, Hypolsalemin, Hyperlsalimia, Hematuria, Proteinuria, chronic kidney disease., UTI, kidney cancer, kidney stones, nephritis, renal failure, glomerulonephritis, and others.
