- Determination of urinary pH is useful in the diagnosis and management of UTIs and calculi. Alkaline urine in a patient with a UTI suggests the presence of a urea-splitting organism, which may be associated with magnesium-ammonium phosphate crystals and can form staghorn calculi.

Top 30 Doctor insights on: Exploding Kidney Stones In brief: Nephrolithotomy. While smaller kidneys stones can often be passed, staghorn stones often form in the calyces or conduit between the kidney and the ureters. These are considered complicated stones and often will require percutaneous (through the skin) nephrolithotomy by a urologist. In brief: Nephrolithotomy. While smaller kidneys stones can often be passed, staghorn stones often form in the calyces or conduit between the kidney and the ureters.

Staghorn calculus (kidney) Staghorn calculi are composed of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) and are usually seen in the setting of recurrent urinary tract infection with urease producing bacteria (e.g. Proteus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Enterobacter).Urease hydrolyses urea to ammonium and increase in the urinary pH 3-5.taghorn calculi are radiopaque and conform to the renal pelvis and calyces, which are often to some degree dilated. When viewed on bone windows they have a laminated appearance, due to alternating bands of magnesium ammonium phosphate and calcium phosphate 5.

Sialolithiasis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Sialolithiasis (also termed salivary calculi, or salivary stones), is a condition where a calcified mass or sialolith forms within a salivary gland, usually in the duct of the submandibular gland (also termed  Wharton's duct ).bout 85% of stones occur in the submandibular gland, and between 5-10% occur in the parotid gland. In about 0-5% of cases, the sublingual gland or a minor salivary gland is affected. When minor glands are rarely involved, caliculi are more likely in the minor glands of the buccal mucosa and the maxillary labial mucosa.

Calcite Calcite is transparent to opaque and may occasionally show phosphorescence or fluorescence. A transparent variety called Iceland spar is used for optical purposes. Acute scalenohedral crystals are sometimes referred to as dogtooth spar while the rhombohedral form is sometimes referred to as nailhead spar. Single calcite crystals display an optical property called birefringence (double refraction).
