Kidney stones can affect the excretory system by blocking the urinary tract or getting stuck in the ureter or urethra or bladder. If this does occur, insufferable pain follows. It's kind of like not being able to pee and having to hold it in for a really long time.

∙ 12y agoKidney stones can block the flow of urine through the kidney, ureters, and/or urethra, depending on where they are lodged. The ureters are tubes from the kidney to the bladder, and the urethra is the tube from the bladder to the outside. There are other consequences that can happen because of kidney stones, as well. There are microtubules and other components in the kidneys that can be damaged or scarred, for someone who gets kidney stones frequently. The other problem with kidney stones is that when they cause urine flow to slow or back up, the potential for inflammation and infection is increased. People that are frequently troubled by kidney stones are at a higher risk for Chronic Renal Disease.
