Kidney stones (also called renal calculi, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis) are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys.
Diet, excess body weight, some medical conditions, and certain supplements and medications are among the many causes of kidney stones. Kidney stones can affect any part of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together.
Passing a kidney stone is one of the most unbearable pains ( per literature and my patients’ comments) I have never had a kidney stones. Most patients ask what the causes are. Symptoms vary The type of stones also vary. There was a recent study ( only 10 patients ) consuming black tea. There is a concern that drinking black tea can increase the risk of developing calcium oxalate kidney stones because black tea contains a large amount of oxalate So do some good foods as leafy greens and blueberries.
You must change your dietary lifestyle if you are at risk for stones
