Salient Features

  • For the most common type of stone former, the Idiopathic calcium oxalate stone former (ICSF), stones are found attached to the renal papilla at sites of interstitial plaque
  • Interstitial plaque or Randall's plaque is first seen in the basement membranes of thin loops of Henle
  • lntraluminal plugs are rarely seen ICSF patients but are commonly seen in all other stone phenotypes we have studied to date
  • A stone can grow from the protruding end of intraluminal plugs of a duct of Bellini
  • Stone formers with intraluminal plugs have varying degrees if papillary tissue changes while those with interstitial plaque have normal appearing papilla
  • Ductal stones are characteristic of medullar sponge and cystine stone disease
  • Plaque amount on the papilla surface has a strong correlation with urine calcium excretion and a strong negative correlation with urine pH and volume
  • The “vas wash-down" theory best explains plaque formation in a stone patient with idiopathic hypercalciuria.
