A small, hard mineral deposit called a kidney stone, also known as renal lithiasis or nephrolithiasis, develops inside the kidneys.
Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together, causing stones to form. Kidney stones can affect any part of your urinary tract, from your kidneys to your bladder, and have a variety of causes.
Depending on your circumstances, you may only require pain medication and plenty of water to pass a kidney stone.
Although a number of factors may raise your risk, kidney stones frequently lack a single, identifiable cause.
In order for kidney stones to form, your urine must contain more crystal-forming substances, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, than the fluid in your urine can dilution.
Types of kidney stones
Knowing the kind of kidney stone you have can help you figure out what caused it and may also provide information on how to lower your risk of developing additional kidney stones.
Calcium stones.The majority of kidney stones are calcium stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate, which is a naturally occurring substance produced by your liver. Dietary factors, high doses of vitamin D, intestinal bypass surgery, and several metabolic disorders can increase the concentration of calcium or oxalate in urine. Calcium stones may also occur in the form of calcium phosphite.
Struvite stones.Struvite stones can grow rapidly and become quite large, occasionally with few symptoms or little warning, and they can develop in response to an infection, such as a urinary tract infection.
Uric acid stones.Some genetic factors may also increase your risk of developing uric acid stones. Uric acid stones can develop in people who don’t drink enough fluids or lose too much fluid, those who consume a high-protein diet, and those who have gout.
Cystine stones.Cystinuria, an inherited disorder that causes excessive excretion of specific amino acids by the kidneys, is a condition where these stones develop.
Other stones.Kidney stones can also develop in other, less common ways.
**Symptoms–**Until a kidney stone moves inside your kidney or enters your ureter, the tube that connects the kidney and bladder, symptoms may not appear.
Severe back and side pain that is located below the ribs
Lower abdomen and groin pain that is radiated from the hip area

· Pain on urination

· Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
· Nausea and vomiting

As the kidney stone passes through your urinary tract, the pain it causes may change, such as moving to a different spot or becoming more intense.
