Kidney Stone

Another common kidney issue is kidney stones. When minerals and other elements in the blood crystallise in the kidneys and form solid masses, they are known as kidney stones. Urination is the most common way for kidney stones to leave the body. Kidney stones can be excruciatingly painful to pass, but they seldom result in serious complications A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in the kidney as a result of urine components. It could be as small as a speck of sand or as big as a nugget. The majority of kidney stones move through the body without the need for medical assistance. However, every now and then, a stone refuses to disappearIt has the potential to become lodged in the urinary tract, obstructing urine flow and causing severe throbbing. Kidney stones can also be eliminated with the use of medications or shock waves. Shock waves are delivered using a scope inserted into the urethra, the channel that transports urine from the body.
