What are Kidney Stones? What is Renal Colic?

 

Kidney stones are stones that get stuck inside your kidney. They are made of salts and minerals in the urine and cluster together to form a stone. Kidney stones can be as small as grain of sand or as large as a golf ball.

What is Renal Colic? Renal colic is a type of pain commonly caused by kidney stones. The pain typically begins in the kidney area or below it and radiates through the flank until it reaches the bladder. The pain is colicky in nature, meaning that it comes on in spasmodic waves as opposed to being a steady continuous pain. It may come in two varieties: dull and acute; the acute variation is particularly unpleasant and has been described as one of the strongest pain sensations felt by humans.

Kidney Stones - What the experts say... 

Kidney stones, or Renal calculi, are solid concretions (crystal aggregations) of dissolved minerals in urine; calculi typically form inside the kidneys or ureters. The terms nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis refer to the presence of calculi in the kidneys and urinary tract, respectively. Renal calculi can vary in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as grapefruit. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size before passage -- on the order of at least 2-3 millimeters -- they can cause obstruction of the ureter. The resulting distention with urine can cause severe episodic pain, most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen and groin (a condition called renal colic). Renal colic can be associated with nausea and vomiting due to the embyrological association of the kidneys and the intestinal tract. Hematuria is commonly present due to damage to the wall of the urethra as well as dysuria (when passing stones). Recurrence rates are estimated at about 10% per year.
