(N21.9) Calculus of lower urinary tract, unspecified

Calculus of the lower urinary tract is caused by the accumulation of small mineral deposits in the bladder, ureters, or urethra. these deposits can form due to an imbalance in the body's chemistry, an obstruction in the urinary tract, or an infection. the deposits can cause pain, difficulty urinating, and other urinary tract issues.

Calculus of the lower urinary tract is caused by an accumulation of salts and minerals in the urinary tract, such as calcium, magnesium, and ammonium. these minerals can combine and form crystals that grow in size over time, eventually becoming large enough to block the flow of urine and cause pain and infection. in some cases, the crystals can form a stone that can cause severe pain and require medical intervention.
