    This document summarizes the pathophysiology of cystolithiasis, or bladder stone formation. It outlines predisposing factors like age and a history of prostate issues that can contribute to stone formation. When there is a high solute load in the urine beyond kidney capacity, crystals can form and precipitate to become renal calculi. These stones can then travel to the bladder and accumulate, irritating the bladder mucosa and potentially leading to complications like infection, organ failure, and even death if not treated.
