| Kidney stones form when minerals and salts build up in the kidneys, and they come in different types based on their composition. The most common types of kidney stones include calcium stones, uric acid stones, struvite stones, and cystine stones. Each type develops due to different causes, such as dehydration, diet, infections, or genetic factors. Symptoms often include severe back or side pain, blood in urine, nausea, frequent urination, and discomfort while passing urine. Understanding the type of stone helps in choosing the right treatment and preventing future episodes. |
