To study the high risk of kidney stones in arid
regions.

The objective of the present study is:
1. To classify the reported kidney stones patients as

INTRODUCTION
The term kidney stone is sometimes used to refer to
urolithiasis in any part of the urinary tract; however it is
more properly reserved for stones that are actually in the
collecting duct of the kidney itself.
The term nephrolithiasis can be used to describe the
condition of having kidney stones
and ureterolithiasis can be used to describe the condition
of having stones in the ureter. Renal stone disease is one of
the most common afflictions of modern society,
However, surgical treatment, although they remove the
offending stone, do little to prevent the recurrence.
