Kidney & Ureteric Stones
What Are Kidney & Ureteric Stones?
Kidney stones are hard deposits that form inside the kidneys when certain minerals and salts in the urine become too concentrated. They can vary in size from a tiny grain of sand to a large stone that fills the kidney. When a stone moves into the ureter — the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder — it can cause severe pain and blockage.
