One stone that is common contains some calcium with a mixture of phosphate or oxalate. The chemicals are from a normal person's diet and are for important body parts like muscles and bones. A stone that is not as common is formed because of an infection in a person's urinary tract. This kind of stone is referred to as a struvite or infection stone. Another stone, called the urid acid stones, are not as common. The kidney stones that are rare are called Cystine stones. Those are some basics of kidney stones that can help clear up some questions.

How does kidney failure affect homeostasis?

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.
