WHAT IS A KIDNEY STONE?

Kidney stones are an aggregation of innumerable chemical substances dissolved in urine. When the concentration level of these substances reaches a particular point, they eventually crystallize into a permanent form and hence form stones. Kidney stones vary in size; sometimes they are too small to be felt or being noticed in the urinary tract. But otherwise, these can be as large as a golf ball. When the stone obstructs the urine flow, the ureter dilates and stretches causing muscle spasms giving rise to immense gripping pain in renal colic; felt in flank within the lower abdomen, groin, or leg of the affected side. Without treatment, kidney stones can lead to urinary problems, infections, and kidney failure.
