Discussion of underlying conditions of Kidney stones:
Kidney Stones in Adults: NIDDK (Excerpt)
A person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to
develop stones. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic
kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism are
also linked to stone formation.
In addition, more than 70 percent of people with a rare hereditary
disease called renal tubular acidosis develop kidney stones.
Cystinuria and hyperoxaluria are two other rare, inherited metabolic
disorders that often cause kidney stones. In cystinuria, too much of the
amino acid cystine, which does not dissolve in urine, is voided. This can
lead to the formation of stones made of cystine. In patients with
hyperoxaluria, the body produces too much of the salt oxalate. When there
is more oxalate than can be dissolved in the urine, the crystals settle
out and form stones.

Shapes of various stones. Sizes are usually smaller than
shown here. |
Absorptive hypercalciuria occurs when the body absorbs too much calcium
from food and empties the extra calcium into the urine. This high level of
calcium in the urine causes crystals of calcium oxalate or calcium
phosphate to form in the kidneys or urinary tract.
Other causes of kidney stones are hyperuricosuria (a disorder of uric
acid metabolism), gout, excess intake of vitamin D, and blockage of the
urinary tract. Certain diuretics (water pills) or calcium-based antacids
may increase the risk of forming kidney stones by increasing the amount of
calcium in the urine.
Calcium oxalate stones may also form in people who have a chronic
inflammation of the bowel or who have had an intestinal bypass operation,
or ostomy surgery. As mentioned above, struvite stones can form in people
who have had a urinary tract infection. People who take the protease
inhibitor indinavir, a drug used to treat HIV infection and AIDS, are at
risk of developing kidney stones.

Kidney Stones: NWHIC (Excerpt)
A person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to
develop stones. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic
kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism are
also linked to stone formation.
In addition, more than 70 percent of patients with adequate hereditary

(when the body produces too much of the amino acid cystine) and
hyuperoxaluria (when the body produces too much of the salt oxalate) are
two other rare inherited disorders that often cause kidney stones.
Absorptive hypercalciuria, a condition in which the body absorbs too much
calcium from food, also causes kidney stones. (Source: excerpt from Kidney Stones: NWHIC)
About underlying conditions:
With a diagnosis of Kidney stones,
it is important to consider
whether there is an underlying condition causing Kidney stones.
These are other medical conditions that may possibly
cause Kidney stones.
