Urinary Disorders

Kidney Stone

A kidney stone is a small, hard, mineral deposit that forms within the kidneys. These stones can vary in size, ranging from a grain of sand to larger, pebble-sized structures. Kidney stones are typically composed of minerals and salts, such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or struvite.

Kidney stones can remain in the kidneys, causing no symptoms, or they can travel down the ureter (the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder) and cause various symptoms, including severe pain, which is often referred to as renal colic. Other common symptoms of kidney stones include blood in the urine, frequent urination, and a strong urge to urinate.
