Kidney stones are hard masses that develop in the kidneys. They are formed by minerals and acid salts and can vary in size. Kidney stones are the painful disorders that form stones in the kidneys or urinary tract due to deposition of crystals of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid and cystine. These stones can occur due to various factors. Normally, urine has a natural substance, which dissolves these minerals, thereby preventing them into becoming solids.
Most commonly, kidney stones develop when the minerals crystallize and adhere together. This occurs when the urine gets too concentrated. The passage of a kidney stone causes a great deal of pain and discomfort. Pain is first experienced in the lower back or sides of the body. Kidney stones are more common in males as compared to females (three times) and occur usually in middle life.
Sometimes due to dehydration, these salts don’t get dissolved and crystallization takes place. These stones vary in size from grit, sand, and gravel-like obstructions to the size of a bird’s egg.
