The kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that develop within the kidneys, often called nephrolithiasis, renal calculi, and urolithiasis. Other factors of kidney stones are eating unhealthy food, extra body weight, certain medical problems, and other nutrients as well as medications. Stones in the kidney may impact every portion of the urinary tract like the bladder. Stones also develop when urine is condensed to facilitate the crystallization and adherence of minerals. This may be very difficult to remove kidney stones, although the stones typically cause little lasting harm if they can be detected immediately.
