Kidneys are two small red bean shaped organs, each located on either side of abdomen towards the back and above the waist. The size of normal adult kidney is 10 to 13.5 cm (4 to 5 inches) long, 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 inches) wide and 3 cm (1.18 inches) thick.

How could a large kidney stone block urine flow?

A large kidney stone can block urine flow when it becomes lodged in a narrow part of the urinary tract, most commonly the ureter (the thin tube connecting the kidney to the bladder). Urine normally drains from the kidney through the ureter. If a stone is too large to pass, it can get stuck and act like a physical plug. This obstruction prevents urine from moving forward, causing pressure to build up inside the kidney. As a result, the kidney may swell, a condition called hydronephrosis, and the person can experience severe flank pain, nausea, and sometimes infection. The blockage can be partial or complete. Even a partial obstruction can disrupt normal urine drainage and irritate the ureter, leading to pain and inflammation. Treatment depends on the size, location, and symptoms. Smaller stones may pass on their own, while larger stones often require medical procedures such as laser lithotripsy or other minimally invasive techniques to remove or break the stone. If someone has persistent pain, fever, or difficulty urinating, medical evaluation is important to prevent kidney damage.
