Stones usually formed of mineral salts (calcium oxalate and phosphate) and found in the kidney, or urinary bladder.

Stones in the kidney or urinary bladder are called calculi. They are mineralized deposits that often contain calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate and form when urine becomes concentrated and minerals crystallize. These calculi can remain in the kidney or travel into the bladder, causing symptoms like pain and sometimes blood in the urine. The other terms describe different issues—cholestasis is a liver/bile flow problem, adhesions are scar tissue bands, and exocrine refers to glands releasing substances externally—not stones in the urinary tract. So the term that best fits is calculi.
