What disorder refers to a kidney stone that is formed when uric acid and calcium salts from the urine clump together?

The disorder that refers to the formation of kidney stones from the clumping of uric acid and calcium salts is known as uric acid stone disease. These stones typically form when urine is overly acidic, leading to the crystallization of uric acid. Individuals with high levels of uric acid in their blood, often associated with conditions like gout, are at greater risk for developing these types of stones. Managing diet and hydration can help prevent their formation.
