Kidney stone is defined as an "aggregation of certain substances present in the urine in a state of hypersaturation (such as phosphates, oxalates, calcium, uric acid and cystine).The formation of these agglomerates in the urinary tract, particularly in the kidneys, may be due to an unbalanced diet (high protein and sodium intake, low fluid intake), but also to a genetic predisposition, to the presence of infections of the urinary tract and changes in urinary pH. In many cases, kidney stones are asymptomatic, but sometimes they are responsible for the onset of acute, spasmodic and very severe pain (renal colic). Difficulty urinating, urgency, nausea and vomiting may also occur.
