Renal Stones
Renal-Stone called a kidney stone.
- Renal stones are a common cause of blood in the urine and pain in the abdomen, flank, or groin.
- The development of the stones is related to decreased urine volume or increased excretion of stone-forming components such as calcium, oxalate, urate, cystine, xanthine, and phosphate.
- Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. They can be painful when passing through the urinary tract, but usually don’t cause permanent damage.
