Mrs. Jesal Shah

Kidney stones (also known as renal calculi) are stones of varying sizes, which form inside the kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder or the urethra. The kidneys are situated at the back of the abdomen and their function is to remove waste products from the blood and from the body in the form of urine, which passes down a tube called a ureter into the bladder.

If the concentration of a particular mineral in the urine is too high, crystals form which sometimes become kidney stone. Most kidney stones are only the size of a grain of sand but some may be large enough to fill the collection sack leading out of the kidney.

Kidney stones tend to form when the level of a particular substance in the urine is too high. This can either happen because the body produces too much of a substance due to a medical condition or because the persons diet is too high in that particular mineral therefore producing a higher concentration in the urine. Alternatively if the urine is very concentrated a stone is most likely to be produced. This is why a stone is most likely to occur in hot weather or in people who do not drink much fluid.

Kidney stones are not very common in children but however these stones are being discovered now with increasing frequency amounting for up to one in each 1000 childhood admissions. These stones are in the kidney in two thirds of reported cases and in the ureter in the remaining cases. Although urinary stones are uncommon in children less than two years old, older children are at greater risk independent of age and sex.
