Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nephrolithiasis is the term employed for kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, and they are crystal concretions formed typically in the kidney. Calculi typically form in the kidneys and ideally leave the body via the urethra without pain. Larger stones are painful and may need surgical intervention.

Detailed explanation-2: -Renal stones are formed within the kidneys, and this is called nephrolithiasis. Urolithiasis is a condition that occurs when these stones exit the renal pelvis and move into the remainder of the urinary collecting system, which includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cystine stones can form in people who have cystinuria. This disorder runs in families. Struvite stones are mostly found in men or women who have repeated urinary tract infections. Uric acid stones are more common in men than in women. Other substances, such as certain medicines, also can form stones.
