3. Corphamine: There are low -concentrations of cystine in normal blood. The cystine can be dissolved in alkaline urine and insoluble in acid urine.
4. Magphyate salt: can be divided into two causes: infectious and non -infectious. When the urethra is infected, it is prone to strict magnesium phosphate salt after various chemical mechanisms in the urine: instead of infectiousness is sufficient due to abnormal diet or metabolic, resulting in the production of such stones.
5. Uric acid: Normal body can convert uric acid into illarin. However, if the concentration of uric acid in the blood or shit liquid is too high, the body cannot be completely converted, and uric acid is prone to produce.
