Kidney stone: A severe health disease
Kidney stones are considered a disease, medically referred to as nephrolithiasis or kidney stone disease (KSD). It is characterised by the formation of solid, crystalline masses (calculi) within the kidneys. The chronic medical condition occurs when minerals in the urine become highly concentrated and crystallise instead of dissolving. Kidney stones can be deadly if they are not treated on time. They can cause life-threatening complications like severe infections (sepsis) or kidney failure.
Symptoms of kidney stones
Symptoms of kidney stones can include serious pain, stomach pain, vomiting, fever, chills, and blood in the urine. You may also feel pain while urinating, nausea, inability to urinate, sharp pain in your back, and sudden high fever. Kidney stones can typically be handled through a mix of hydration, medication, and medical interventions for larger stones.
