A kidney stone can cause damage to the kidney primarily through obstruction of the urinary tract, leading to increased pressure within the kidney. This pressure can impair kidney function and potentially cause tissue damage. Additionally, if the stone causes inflammation or infection, it may further compromise the kidney's health. Over time, recurrent kidney stones can lead to chronic kidney disease.
