Kidney Stones

Types | Causes | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment

Kidney stones, also known as nephrolithiasis, urolithiasis or renal calculi, is one of the most common disorder of the urinary tract. It is a hard mass developed from the crystals that separate from the urine and build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney. Urine has a normal chemical balance of water, salts, minerals, and other substances. Factors that affect the normal balance of the urine can lead to stone formation.

Most kidney stones are only the size of a grain of sand but some may be large enough to fill the collection sack leading out of the kidney. It is usually found in people between the ages of 20 and 40. Men has a higher chance of developing this disease than women.
