Although Jorge is right that, technically speaking, \'lithiasis\' SHOULD refer only to the process of stone formation and not to the stones themselves, in practice the term is widely used this way in the medical literature. It is not for us (mere translators) to pass judgement and slap the wrists of the medical community for utilizing commonly accepted terminology.

Comment: "Gracias a todos. De ser como Jorge dice, será el médico inglés que lea la traducción que dirá que su colega español no sabe distinguir entre el proceso y el resultado. Yo me limito a hacer una traducción del texto tal y como está en español. Creo que ir más allá de eso no me compete como traductor. Muy agradecido a todos por vuestras contribuciones. Saludos.A"

calculi
litiasis (in English, lithiasis) is the formation of calculi and concretions. Thus here the term "calculi" should be used. Also common medical knowledge.

Althoug Ruth is right about looking it up by yourself, the term in Spanish is wrong, as explained in the above definition. Let us not confuse a process or condition with its results.
