Kidney Stones (Renal Calculi)

بەردی گورچیلە

Tiny minerals and salts settle inside the kidney and form hard pieces.

Definition

A kidney stone forms when urine becomes concentrated and the minerals stick to each other. When the stone moves into the urinary tract, a sharp, sudden pain appears in the lower back. Drinking plenty of water and eating less salt are the main ways to prevent it.

Example sentence

«He had severe pain on the right side of his back, and the ultrasound showed he has a small kidney stone.»
