Our kidneys filter blood by removing waste from it in the form of urine.
Urine consists of water, urea, uric acid and ions like calcium, sodium, oxalate and potassium.
However, when some of these constituents such as uric acid, calcium and oxalate ions increase in the urine, they create bonds amongst themselves and that's how kidney stones get formed .
One of the most common kidney stones is calcium oxalate.
Generally, the kidney stones are small.
Hence, they pass unnoticed through the urinary tract. However, sometimes these stones become so big that they start to scratch walls of the urinary tract and may block the path of the urine, thus causing immense pain. Sometime it causes death. So please do not take kidney stones lightly.
