calculi
Kidney stones, medically
Calculi is the plural of calculus.
In medicine, calculi are stone-like masses that form in the body—kidney calculi, gallbladder calculi, bladder calculi: The X-ray revealed several calculi in the urinary tract.
In mathematics, calculi refers to multiple systems of calculation or reasoning: differential and integral calculi.
The singular calculus is far more common in both contexts.
