Causes
idney stones can be due to underlying metabolic conditions, such as renal tubular acidosis, Dent's disease and medullary sponge kidney. Many health facilities will screen for such disorders in patients with recurrent kidney stones. This is typically done with a 24 hour urine collection that is chemically analyzed for deficiencies and excesses that promote stone formation.

- Hypercalciuria
- Hyperoxaluria
- Hyperuricosuria
- Hypocitaturia
- Hypomagnesiuria
- Inadequate amounts of inhibitors of stone formation
- Infection with urea splitting microorganisms
