Abstract
- A concise account of formation mechanisms of attached (papillary) and unattached renal stones is presented. Urinary conditions prevailing at least during the stone forming period are indicated. Ten main categories of renal stones, covering over 95% of all conceivable calculi, are distinguished based on their composition and structure. Aetiologic factors leading to stone formation of every category are specified and general outlines of recommended treatment procedures indicated.
