Kidney Stones Made Of Calcium Phosphate. Kidney stones are an aggregation of mineral crystals. For this reason calcium phosphate kidney stones tend to occur in individuals who produce a more alkaline urine than those that produce calcium oxalate kidney stones.
But there are a few types of kidney stones that form in urine which is highly alkaline and calcium phosphate is one such kind. These stones are relatively quite small and most that are 7mm or less can usually be passed. The crystallization usually occurs when urine is densely formed which means is less diluted with water.
But there are a few types of kidney stones that form in urine which is highly alkaline and calcium phosphate is one such kind.
Usually kidney stones are either of calcium uric acid cystine or struvite types. These crystals are caused by an abundance of calcium in the urine which combines with oxalic acid. Kidney stones can also be formed from uric acid struvite and cystine. The crystallization usually occurs when urine is densely formed which means is less diluted with water.
