What are the renal calculi?
Renal calculi or kidney stone is a condition in which a solid piece of material forms in the kidney. It may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pearl.
A small kidney stone generally passes through the urinary tract on its own, causing little or no pain. A larger kidney stone may get stuck along the way. A kidney stone that gets stuck can block your flow of urine, causing severe pain or bleeding.
Symptoms of Kidney stone
- Blood in urine
- burning feeling on urinating
- Extreme pain in back or side that does not go away
- Fever and chills
- Urine that smells bad or looks cloudy
- Vomiting
Complications of kidney stones
If kidney stones are not treated, they can cause:
- Hematuria, or blood in the urine
- Severe pain
- UTIs, including kidney infections

A kidney stone is diagnosed with urine, blood, and imaging tests. Treatment for kidney stones usually depends on their size, location, and what they are made of.
