Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. When these stones develop, they may cause symptoms as they move through your urinary tract. Some common symptoms of kidney stones include:
Severe pain in the side or back, below the ribs
Pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin
Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity
A persistent need to urinate, even when only a small amount is passed
Urine that appears pink, red, or brown, due to blood from the stones
Nausea and vomiting
Foul-smelling or cloudy urine
Feeling the need to urinate more often than usual
Burning sensation or pain during urination
Chills and fever, which may indicate an infection or a more severe complication
Kidney stones can be caused by various factors, including:
Dehydration: When your body doesn’t produce enough urine, minerals become concentrated, increasing the risk of stone formation.
Diet: A diet high in sodium, sugar, and animal protein can increase the risk of kidney stones. Additionally, consuming too many oxalate-rich foods (spinach, nuts, chocolate, and some fruits) or calcium-rich foods can contribute to stone formation.
Obesity: Being overweight can increase the risk of kidney stones, as it may lead to metabolic changes that promote stone formation.
Family history or genetic factors: Some individuals have a higher risk of developing kidney stones due to their family history or genetic predisposition.
Digestive diseases or surgery: Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal surgery, or gastric bypass can affect the absorption of calcium and water, increasing stone risk.
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, and hyperparathyroidism, can increase the risk of kidney stones.
Medications: Some medications, like calcium-based antacids or corticosteroids, may influence stone formation.
Age and sex: Men between the ages of 30 and 50 have the highest risk of developing kidney stones. After menopause, women’s risk becomes similar to men’s.
