urolithiasis
This is a technical medical term used primarily in clinical settings, pathology reports, and academic literature. It describes the pathological state of stone formation rather than the stones themselves. In a patient-facing or casual context, healthcare providers typically replace this term with "urinary stones" or "kidney stones" to ensure clarity.
As a medical condition denoting a specific pathological state, the term is uncountable. It refers to the presence of the condition regardless of whether a single stone or multiple stones are present in the urinary tract.
