Kidney Stone
Kidney stones are also called renal calculi or nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis. They are solid deposits made of crystals formed from minerals and salts. They usually originate in the kidneys; however, can develop anywhere in the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). Kidney stones can range in size from a salt grain to a corn kernel and brown or yellowish color. The formation of kidney stones occurs when the urine becomes concentrated (i.e. excess of minerals and lack of liquid) leading to crystallization and sticking together of minerals.
