Urinary stone disease is characterized by crystalline depositions (called calculi) in the renal calyces, pelvis, or ureter, which are classified due to their location and chemical composition. About 80 % of urinary stones are calcium oxalate stones with a variable amount of calcium phosphate. Less than 20 % of stones are non-calcium calculi composed out of uric acid, magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite), or cysteine (two cysteines linked by a disulfide bond).
