Until the last century, ammonium urate stones were quite common in preindustrial Europe. In contemporary practice these stones are found in developing countries, and are associated with uric acid and ammonium-enriched urine. Such conditions may occur with urealytic infection, resulting in mixed ammonium urate/magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitates and urinary phosphate deficiency of alimentary origin, resulting in precipitates free of magnesium ammonium phosphate, in sterile urine. The latter situation is closely related to a diet poor in phosphate and to a low fluid intake common in endemic lithiasis areas. Ammonium urate and uric acid have different solubility patterns dependent on pH, and consequently treatment will be different in each case.
直到上个世纪，尿酸铵结石在工业化前的欧洲相当常见。在当代医疗实践中，这些结石在发展中国家被发现，并且与尿酸和富含铵的尿液有关。这种情况可能发生在尿素分解感染时，导致尿酸铵/磷酸镁铵混合沉淀物以及饮食来源的尿磷酸盐缺乏，从而在无菌尿液中形成不含磷酸镁铵的沉淀物。后一种情况与磷酸盐含量低的饮食以及地方性结石病地区常见的低液体摄入量密切相关。尿酸铵和尿酸具有不同的依赖于pH值的溶解度模式，因此每种情况下的治疗方法会有所不同。
