Kidney 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.

kidney stones are calcium buildup in the urinary track. What eventually happens is they get lodged into place and block the track thereby not allowing urine to flow freely. Homeostasis is when the body is functioning normally. However by kidney stones the body can not release the urine thereby causing a interruption to Homeostasis

Well first off kidney stones cause a moderate amount of pain and discomfort which can lead to irreversible damage to the kidneys. Kidney stones can obstruct the flow of urine creating strain or pressure on the ureters and kidney pelvis. Kidney stones may also lead to Kidney disease or renal(kidney) failure.
