“…This disease arises from an imbalance in urinary biochemicals, between substances that inhibit (e.g., citrate, aspartate, calprotectin) and those that promote the formation of stones (e.g., calcium, urate, cystine.) ( Basavaraj et al, 2007 , Freitas et al, 2002 , Kachkoul et al, 2023b ). Stone formation, known as lithogenesis ( Słojewski, 2011 ), encompasses all the biological and physic-chemical processes that occur when urine becomes concentrated, leading to the formation of mineral deposits inside the kidneys ( Aggarwal et al, 2013 ), where minerals can crystallize and agglomerate.…”
