Renal Stone

A renal stone, also known as a kidney stone, is a hard, crystalline mineral material formed within the kidney or urinary tract. These stones are typically made of calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, among other substances. They can vary in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. Kidney stones can cause severe pain, known as renal colic, and may lead to complications such as infection or obstruction of the urinary tract. They are often diagnosed through imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans and can be treated with medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical procedures if necessary.
