Kidney stone formation results from the crystals formed from the accumulation of highly concentrated urine. Generally, these stones pass through the urinary tract without creating any problems. Although, if these kidney stones are large in size, they can cause obstruction in kidney drainage system. This may result in severe pain, infection, bleeding and in worse cases can cause kidney failure. The common places where stones can cause obstruction in urinary tract can be:

• At the junction of kidney and upper ureter.
• In between ureter
• At the junction of the lower ureter and gall bladder.

The factors that can cause the formation of kidney stone are consistently concentrated urine, acidic urine or due to lack of urinary substances like citrate.
