Kidney Stones

Dissolved minerals in the urine concentrate in the kidneys to form as solid concretions to form kidney stones. The proper medical term for the disease is renal calculi . Bladder stones  can also be found in the urinary tract and bladder. nephrolithiasis ,urolithiasis and Ureterolithiasis refers to the condition where one can find stone in kidney,urinary baldder and ureter which connects the kidney and the urinary bladder.

Usually in normal conditions such stones leave the body while urinating . If the stones grow in sufficient size  above 2 millimeter then they can obstruct the flow of urine.  This can cause the muscles to try and force the stone out of the baldder which causes considerable pain.  Due to this condition the renal pelvis and the upper ureter dilate or stretch causing a lot of discomfort.

This situation causes considerable pain in the groin region and areas related to the passage of urine. The excess force applied can damage the linings of the urinary tract which can cause bleeding which can be seen with the naked eye.  The major type of kidney stone is calcium oxalate stones and uric acid stones. In people abnormalism in their metabolic activities  calcium phosphate and cystine stones are seen. If there is urinary infection struvite stones are seen all though this is very rare.
