How does the kidney stone affect the tissues?

Kidney stones can cause damage to surrounding tissues primarily through obstruction and irritation. When a stone blocks the urinary tract, it can lead to increased pressure in the kidney, potentially resulting in hydronephrosis and kidney damage. Additionally, the movement of the stone during passage can cause inflammation and injury to the delicate lining of the urinary tract, leading to pain and potential infection. Over time, repeated stone formation may also contribute to chronic kidney issues.

What causes a kidney stone?

Yes, kidney stones that become large or become lodged in the kidney or lower in the urinary tract, can sometimes cause problems with the kidney. A stone that blocks the flow of urine, left too long, can result in the death of the kidney or damage to the urinary tract. A kidney stone itself can be telling you that you already have a problem with your kidney. Crystals normally are formed when urine is made, especially in a dehydrated patient; however, when crystals grow and become a stone, it can be because of a kidney problem that is already present.
