What are Kidney Stones?
The formation of kidney stones is considered as a specific case of Nephrolithiasis. It is one of the common and painful urological disorders faced by humans across the globe. Though some stones formed in the kidney pass out of the body through the urine, some cause disruption to the functioning of the urinary tract system causing further health complications.
Kidney stones are formed when the chemicals in the urine that prevent the formation of crystals or hard masses in the urinary tract fail in their normal functionality. Calcium is one of the common element found in these crystals with some amounts of oxalate and phosphate. Different types of stones found in the urinary tract are struvite, uric acid stones, and cystine stones. The last two are quite rare than the first one.
Symptoms
Though kidney stones in moderate or mild amounts and size do not cause any immediate or threatening symptoms, significant sized stones can cause extreme pain. If left untreated, it can lead to infections to urinary tract system. The common symptoms observed are
- Pain while passing urine
- Cramping in the back i.e. kidney area or in the lower abdomen
