Both of Calcium & uric acid are important in stone formation, There are multiple risk factors for stone formation such as: low fluid intake,hypercalciuria,primary hyperparathyroidism, high salt diet, high animal protein intake. Computed tomography CT is currently used most commonly to predict the type and opacity of stone (stone density) measured in HU. (Hounsfield unit) A total of 100 adult patients with renal stone, discovered by abdominal ultrasound examination, were chosen, there was no significant difference in the mean stone density in terms of patients’ age, gender, and BMI, the patients with high uric acid levels had significantly higher mean stone density when compared to the patients with low or normal levels of uric acid, Patients with high serum calcium levels may have high CT stone density.
