Kidney stone

A stone in the kidney ( or lower down in the urinary tract).

Kidney stones are a common cause of blood in the urine and pain in the abdomen, flank or groin. Kidney son occur in 1 in 20 people at some time in their life.

The development of the stone is related to decreased urine volume or increased excretion of stone-forming components such as calcium, oxalate, irate, cystine, xanthine and phosphate. The stones form in the urine collecting area (the pelvis) of the kidney and may range in size from tiny to stag horn stones (the size of the renal pelvis itself).
