the kidney is an organ that is responsible for the excretion of all nitrogenous wastes that are harmful to human health. They also serve as organs of osmoregulation for blood and body fluid. However, it's vital to note that there are some infections that alter kidney functions such as kidney stones.
What are kidney stones?
Some tiny solids ( e.g calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine.) present in urine are not very soluble. These tiny solids under certain conditions are precipitated in the nephrons into kidney stones. When kidney stones become too large, they block the nephrons thereby altering the free flow of urine. The stone may stay in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract into the ureter.
Sometimes, tiny stones move out of the body in the urine without causing too much pain. But stones that don't move may cause a back-up of urine in the kidney, ureter, bladder, or urethra. This is what causes the pain.

Anyone can have kidney stones, but some people are more susceptible to it. For instance, it's more common in males than in females, non-Hispanic white people contracted it more than people of other ethnicities. Here are some of the leading factors that can cause kidney stones;
