About Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are crystals that form in your kidneys. They occur when urine contains too much of a certain substance and are most often caused by dehydration. If you have kidney stones, it is most likely you will have them again. The different types of kidney stones are calcium, cystine, struvite and uric acid stones.
