Urolithiasis is the condition where urinary calculi are formed [DorlandsDict|eight/000113598|urolithiasis] in the urinary tract.cite web |url=http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0070272468/student_view0/chapter20/case_studies.html |title=Case Study: Urolithiasis |format= |work=Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology |accessdate=] [EMedicineDictionary|Urolithiasis]

The term kidney stone (or "renal calculus") is sometimes used to refer to urolithiasis in any part of the urinary tract. However, the term "kidney stone" is more properly reserved for stones that are actually in the collecting duct of the kidney itself.cite web |url=http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/mesh/2008/MB_cgi?field=uid&term=D007669 |title=Kidney Calculi |format= |work=Mesh |accessdate=] cite web |url=http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands_split.jsp?pg=/ppdocs/us/common/dorlands/dorland/nine/20113223.htm |title=Dorlands Medical Dictionary:kidney stone |format= |work= |accessdate=] [EMedicineDictionary|renal+calculus]

The term nephrolithiasis can be used to describe the "condition" of having kidney stones, [DorlandsDict|six/000070775|nephrolithiasis] and ureterolithiasis can be used to describe the condition of having stones in the ureter. [DorlandsDict|eight/000113322|ureterolithiasis]

The term bladder stone is more frequently associated with veterinary science.
