They are nasty solid concretions of dissolved minerals in urine; calculi typically form inside the kidneys or bladder.

These secretions are then passed to the bladder and out of the body as urine.

Some of the substances found in urine are able to crystalize, and in a concentrated form these chemicals can precipitate into a solid deposit attached to the kidney walls. These crystals can grow through a process of accretion to form a kidney stone.

Is it possible to rupture a kidney stone?

Yes, the kidney stone can injure the kidney – mostly if it obstructs the urine flow for a considerable period of time. The increased pressure and potential infection can impair the kidney function gradually. Smaller stones pass easily, but if the obstruction is left untreated for several weeks or months, it may lead to permanent injury.
