About kidney stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidney and can travel down the urinary tract. Small stones may pass unnoticed, but larger ones cause sudden, severe, colicky pain in the flank that spreads to the groin, often with nausea, vomiting, blood in the urine and a frequent urge to urinate. Low water intake, a diet high in salt, animal protein and oxalate-rich foods, obesity, gout, repeated urinary infections and family history raise the risk. Drinking plenty of water is the most useful preventive step. Fever with pain, an inability to pass urine or pain that cannot be controlled needs urgent medical attention, and an ultrasound or CT scan shows the size and position of the stone.
