A kidney stone is a result of solute and solvent mixture. If lesser fluids are consumed which is the solvent, than the food with high protein or high oxalate which is the solute; than it leads to precipitating renal stones. Kidney stones can be composed of calcium, uric acid, struvite or cystine. They originate in the kidney but can also develop in the ureter, bladder or urethra. Kidney stones are detected by performing an ultrasound scan on the patient.
Kidney stones occur due to known aetiology. If the aetiology is taken care of, then the stones do not reoccur. Aetiology can be as simple as a person not consuming enough fluids while working in the heat. If a person takes care of such of avoiding the aetiology, he/she may not suffer from reoccurring stones. However, in some patients, stones may keep reoccurring due to abnormal tracts. Kidney transplant if detected early, has a good prognosis without any damage to the kidney.
