INTRODUCTION
Also known as kidney stones, renal calculi are solid masses made of mineral crystals found in
urine stick together and ranges in size and shape. They usually originate from the kidneys but
can develop anywhere along the urinary tract which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and
urethra. The formation of renal calculi often leads to one of the most painful medical conditions
with causes of the condition varying depending on the type of the stone.
INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE OF RENAL CALCULI
Despite the fact that the condition is largely asymptomatic in most, it is said to affect about one
in every ten people in a population. Several population-based studies have demonstrated that
incidence rates, defined as the onset of an individual's first kidney stone, vary by age, sex, and
race. As with prevalence, the incidence rates are highest in white males. Men are more likely to
develop the condition when compared to women with a ratio of up to 3: 1 respectively. The
likelihood of developing the condition increases significantly after 30 years of age for both
sexes. The condition has an annual incidence of about 1-2 cases of acute renal colic per 100
people and a lifetime risk of about 5-10%. According to (Huynh, et al., 2017), the prevalence of
the condition is on the rise especially in the United States and Europe. This is thought to be due
to lifestyle-associated factors, such as obesity and a Western diet. Other than sex and ethnicity,
failure to make more than one litter of urine in a day increases the chances of suffering from the
condition (Popescu et al., 2013). This is becau...
