A rare case of silica kidney stones was identified in a patient without a history of magnesium trisilicate medication. This finding is significant as silica stones are uncommon, especially in individuals not using this specific drug.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Mineralogy

Background:

  • Silica urolithiasis is a rare condition, with most reported cases in Japan linked to long-term magnesium trisilicate antacid use.
  • Understanding the etiology of idiopathic silica stones is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old female presented with right lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ureteral and renal stones.
  • Initial stone analysis revealed a calcium oxalate ureteral stone.
  • Subsequent analysis of passed stones identified two silica stones, despite the patient having no history of magnesium trisilicate medication.

Findings:

  • The patient passed a calcium oxalate stone and later multiple silica stones.
  • The identification of silica stones in a patient without the typical risk factor (magnesium trisilicate use) is noteworthy.

  • This case contributes to the limited documented instances of silica urolithiasis in Japan, bringing the total to fifteen.

    • Implications:

    • This case suggests potential alternative or unknown etiologies for silica stone formation.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of idiopathic silica urolithiasis is warranted.
    • Clinical awareness should be broadened regarding silica stones, even in the absence of specific medication history.
