Kidney stones: Kidney stones may cause pain, fever, severe infection, obstruction to the flow of urine, and kidney damage, if obstruction is not relieved within a short time period. Kidney stones are hard crystals caused by a range of conditions, that form in the kidney, and may be released into the ureter (tube from kidney to bladder which transports urine). Stones lodge in the ureter and cause these problems

Kidney stones: Kidney stones form in urine because the substance of the stone becomes "supersaturated" in the urine water. It crystallizes. Stones can cause pain in kidneys and in ureters and bladder; stones can block a ureter that drains a kidney - causing kidney impairment - - stones can become infected and this is awful. Stones can cause bleeding. Stones can block bladder outlet. Work to prevent stones -
