Urinary Stones In Children - Stone Formation

Urine is basically made of unwanted salts in the body. Presence of a reasonable amount of water is essential to prevent stone formation.


When the the water content is less, the urine becomes concentrated and favours stone formation. Also stagnation to urine flow promotes stone formation. Some children with stones have birth defects that make them pass more calcium and less citrate in urine. Children with recurrent urine infection are more prone to develop stones; stone in turn promotes urine infection.
