| A
kidney stone is a common disorder of the urinary tract that
affects 10% of the population at one point or another. A
slightly smaller percentage of men than women are affected.
The
pain can be quite severe, depending on the size of the stone
and the number of stones that are involved. Many people
discover that they have a kidney stone from blood in their
urine.
Kidney stones is
also clinically known as renal stone disease. There is a small
genetic predisposition to developing this disease. It most
often occurs in those who are middle aged, but it can occur at
any time.
These are several
reasons why Kidney Stones develop. Stones form because of a
chemical imbalance in your kidney. This imbalance is caused by
too few or too much of a certain mineral(s). This is why
a balanced diet can help prevent future occurrences.
