A kidney stone is a solid object made of substances found in urine. Calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine are among substances that can form kidney stones. Treatment methods for kidney stones include nephrolithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithomy, shockwave lithotripsy, and uteroscopy. Common symptoms include severe lower back pain, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, a fever, chills, and urine that smells unpleasant or is cloudy. Urine dissolves a variety of waste materials. When there is too much waste in too little liquid, crystals begin to form. The solid will only continue to grow unless it is removed from the body through urination. The crystals attract additional substances and combine them to create this solid. These substances are frequently eliminated in the urine by the kidney, the body's primary chemist.
