Services
Renal stones, or more commonly referred to as kidney stones, are formed when high levels of certain substances, such as calcium, occur in urine. They can vary in size, remaining in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract. A small stone may pass without a person feeling anything, but a larger stone may get stuck along the urinary track, blocking the flow of urine and causing blood and/or sever pain.
People who have had a kidney stone have a 25 to 50 percent of chance of recurrence. Therefore, learning to manage the disease is addressed.
