    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Silicate calculi are a rare form of urinary tract stones.
    • Their formation is strongly associated with the ingestion of magnesium trisilicate antacids.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a clinical case of a renal silicate calculus.
    • The patient's history involved the use of magnesium trisilicate antacids.

    Findings:

    • The case confirms the link between magnesium trisilicate antacid use and silicate stone formation.
    • Review of literature supports the rarity and specific etiology of silicate urolithiasis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of medication history in diagnosing rare stone types.
    • Informs clinicians about a potential iatrogenic cause of nephrolithiasis.
    • Suggests awareness of silicate stone risk in patients using specific antacids.
