A member asked:
Is kiidney stone and kidney sands(crystals) are the same? coz my radiologist told.me i don't have kidney stone but i have kidney sand like crystals...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are similar.: By sand the radiologist probably means very small stones. Crystals are usually microscopic and are seen in a urine analysis, but are made of the same substances as stones and sand.
