Kidney stones (also called renal calculi, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis) are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. (mayoclinic.org)
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and acid salts that form inside your kidneys, ureters or urinary bladder. (homoeopathy-online.com)
These stones form in people with a hereditary disorder called cystinuria that causes the kidneys to excrete too much of a specific amino acid. (ahdubai.com)
Urine7

Kidney stones typically form in the kidney and leave the body in the urine stream. (wikipedia.org)
Stones form in the kidney when minerals in urine are at high concentration. (wikipedia.org)
Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. (mayoclinic.org)
Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances - such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid - than the fluid in your urine can dilute. (ahdubai.com)
At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form. (ahdubai.com)
Drinking as much as 2 to 3 quarts (1.8 to 3.6 liters) a day will keep your urine dilute and may prevent stones from forming. (com.ng)
Kidney stones3
Although cystinuria accounts for only about 1-2% of kidney stones in adults, this disorder can result in significant morbidity beginning at a young age, with more frequent stone events and need for surgical intervention than in other urolithiasis disorders, and potentially faster progression to kidney insufficiency. (medscape.com)
However, patients with larger kidney stones experiencing persistent symptoms or complications may require medications or even undergo kidney stone surgery in Singapore. (pngurology.com.sg)

Amino acids4

Figure 17.1 illustrates the metabolic processes involved in the overall metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein including the catabolic processes to produce energy and urea (the product of the detoxification of the nitrogen moiety of amino acids) and anabolic processes to form tissue protein and energy stores, glycogen and lipids. (oncohemakey.com)
To produce energy G-6-PO 4 (derived from monosaccharides from dietary CHO or produced from glycogen degradation by glycogenolysis) is converted by a series of enzyme reactions in the glycolytic pathway to form pyruvate or lactic acid, then to acetyl-CoA, which is also produced from fatty acid oxidation and degradation of the carbon skeleton of glucogenic amino acids ( Table 17.1 ).
