Renal sand-like stones generally form due to elevated concentrations of crystalline substances in the urine, leading to crystal deposition within the kidneys; prolonged deposition can result in sandy or sludge-like stones. Additionally, long-term unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits may also contribute to the development of such sand-like stones. Patients are advised to promptly visit a hospital for relevant examinations, identify the underlying cause, and follow medical instructions for appropriate treatment.
