They form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances \u2014 such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid \u2014 than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for crystals to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Crystals to Form?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_1660\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidneycop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/causes-calcium-oxalate-crystals-kidney.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kidneycop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/causes-calcium-oxalate-crystals-kidney.jpg?resolution=1920,2\" alt=\"kidney stone causes\" class=\"wp-image-1660\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crystals in urine causes \u2013 calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bodily Waste and Liquid Ratio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Urine contains various bodily wastes. When there is too much waste in too little liquid, crystals begin to form. The crystals often attract other elements which join together to form a solid that will get larger unless it is passed out of the body. Usually, these chemicals are eliminated in the urine by the kidney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Calcium Oxalate Crystals in Urine Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most people, having enough liquid, especially water, will wash theses wastes and solids out of the body and the kidney will contain other chemicals in the urine to help stop a crystal from forming. The most common kidney stone causes center on basic crystal forming chemicals are&nbsp;<strong>calcium<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>oxalate<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>urate<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>cystine<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>xanthine<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>phosphate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common kidney stone causes&nbsp;(80% or more) occur when calcium combines with one of two substances: oxalate or phosphorous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a crystal is formed, the crystal may stay in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract into the ureter. Sometimes, tiny crystals move out of the body in the urine without causing too much pain. Crystals that don\u2019t move may cause a back-up of urine in the kidney, ureter, the bladder or the urethra. This is generally what causes very severe pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What causes Kidney stones Crystals in urine causes &#8211; Crystals are caused by crystal forming substances like of minerals, such [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-26","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/26\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51,"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/26\/revisions\/51"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneystoneresearch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
