Kidney stone is often associated with an increased urinary and serum concentration of substance found in the stones. Hypersaturation of urine with calcium is typically found in association with hypercalcemia . Hyperuricaemia associated with increased excretion of uric acid in urine may lead to formation of pure uric acid stone. There are four main types of kidney stones- (1) Calcium contaning stones-75% (2) Struvite stones( ammonium magnesium calcium phosphate stone)-15% (3) Uric acid stone-5% (4) Cystine stones-1%
