What is the basic cause of renal calculi?
The basic cause of renal calculi, or kidney stones, is the formation of solid mineral and salt deposits in the kidneys due to supersaturation of certain substances in urine, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. Factors contributing to this condition include dehydration, dietary habits, metabolic disorders, and urinary tract infections. As these substances crystallize, they can form stones of varying sizes, potentially leading to pain and urinary obstruction.
