About 10% of kidney stones are made of struvite (also called magnesium ammonium phosphate). If you get chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs), you may be at increased risk for this type of stone. This is because bacteria that can cause UTIs make the pH of your pee alkaline, which allows...
When bacteria enter the urinary tract and multiply, it produces ammonia as a waste product. The ammonia then reacts with magnesium and phosphate minerals in the urine to form struvite crystals. Over time, these crystals can accumulate and grow into larger stones that can cause pain and discomfor...
2.Diet: Diet can have a tremendous impact on stones and the likelihood of developing them. High calcium level in the urine is one of the most common causes of calcium kidney stones. The body’s metabolism of calcium may be blamed for high urine calcium levels. The most typical type of k...
2. Struvite Stones: Struvite (Magnesium ammonium phosphate) stones are less common (about 10 - 15%) and result from infections in the kidney. A struvite stone is more common in women and grows only in alkaline urine. 3. Uric Acid Stones: Uric acid stones are not very common (about 5 ...
Stone formation is the result of a complex physicochemical process that leads tocrystallization. Although normal individuals can havecrystalluriaand not actual stones, the presence of crystalluria substantially increases the likelihood of stone formation. Formation of crystals in urine is largely a functio...
Kidney stones can form when substances in the urine—such as calcium, magnesium, oxalate, and phosphorous—become highly concentrated due to one or more causes: Defects in the urinary tract may block the flow of urine and create pools of urine. ...

However, because of limited evidence (FDR P > 0.05 and IVW P < 0.05) and not validated in the replication stage, we deemed that serum vitamin B12 and magnesium were not associated with nephrolithiasis risk. Finally, we conducted reverse MR analyses and found that kidney stones ...
