Kidney Stone : A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral deposit that forms in the kidneys. These stones develop when minerals and salts in urine become too concentrated, leading to the formation of solid masses. They can vary in size, from tiny grains to larger stones that may cause significant pain if they obstruct the urinary tract.

Types of Kidney Stones
- Calcium Stones – The most common type, made of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate.
- Uric Acid Stones – Formed due to high uric acid levels in urine, often linked to diets high in meat.
- Struvite Stones – Often caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Cystine Stones – A rare type that forms due to a genetic disorder called cystinuria.

Symptoms :
- Severe pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Frequent or painful urination
- Nausea and vomiting
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

Causes and Risk Factors :
- Dehydration (not drinking enough water)
- High sodium or protein diet - Obesity
- Genetics
- Certain medical conditions (e.g., hyperparathyroidism, UTIs)

Treatment Options :
- Small stones: May pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management.
- Larger stones: Might require medications, shock wave therapy (ESWL), or surgical removal (ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy).

Prevention :

- Reduce sodium and oxalate-rich foods (e.g., spinach, nuts)
- Maintain a balanced diet with moderate calcium intake
- Limit excessive protein and sugary foods
