You've likely heard of kidney stones before, but you may be unfamiliar with the details. Kidney stones are small, hard mineral deposits that can form in your kidneys. Kidney stones are usually made up of specific minerals. 90% of stones are calcium oxalate and 10% are uric acid. They usually form when someone has a decrease in the volume of their urine or an increase of minerals in their pee that form the stones. Some people, however, are just prone to developing them. They tend to be slightly more common in men than women, but anyone can develop them. It's unclear why they tend to be more common in men, however, it may be due to a higher salt diet and dehydration. But, how are kidney stones treated?
