home remedies for kidney stones

Kidney stones will form when the urine contains too much of certain substances. These substances can create small crystals that become stones. Kidney stones may not produce symptoms until they begin to move down the ureter, causing pain.

The pain is usually severe and often starts in the flank region, then moves down to the groin. Kidney stones are very common. The common person that gets kidney stones usually gets them again. Also, kidney stones often occur in premature infants.

Common risk factors include renal tubular acidosis and resultant nephrocalcinosis.

Kidney stones are certainly hereditary. Certain kinds of stones can even occur with bowel disease, ileal bypass for obesity, or renal tubule defects.
