subject: Reality In Relation To Renal Stones [print this page] Kidney stones are basically a mass of hard, pebble-like substances that start forming in that area where urine accumulates. It can be very painful when it happens and may cause kidney failure. Urinary materials that are dissolved lead to the formation of stones. The stones may be of different sizes; however, those that are as small as 5 mm in diameter may pass with urine without causing much obstruction.
If the stones that exist in the kidneys are larger than 7mm, it is important to get them removed immediately as they would be highly dangerous to the kidneys.
Stones that are too small, at times easily pass in the urine without the person being aware of its existence. However, once they start to increase around 2-3mm more in size, they may cause stretching of the upper ureter and renal pelvis, and muscle spasm in the uterus.
