Coming soonStruvite renal calculi, also referred to as infection or triple phosphate stones, are mineral deposits that form within the renal collecting system of the urinary tract.
They predominantly occur in individuals with persistent or recurrent upper urinary tract infections, chronic catheterization, neurogenic bladder, or anatomical urinary stasis.
Pathophysiologically, these stones arise when urease-producing bacteria—most commonly *Proteus mirabilis*, as well as species of *Klebsiella*, *Pseudomonas*, and *Staphylococcus*—hydrolyze urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide.
This enzymatic reaction significantly alkalizes the urine, precipitating magnesium ammonium phosphate and carbonate apatite into rapidly expanding concretions that frequently develop into large, branching staghorn calculi.
