    Nephrolithiasis, also known as kidney stones, can cause a variety of symptoms. The most common symptom is:
    1. Severe pain in the back, flank, or groin that comes and goes in waves. Pain may be felt in the belly area or side of the back, below the ribs . Pain may move to the groin area (groin pain), testicles (testicle pain) in men, and labia (vaginal pain) in women. Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity. Pain caused by a kidney stone may change for instance, shifting to a different location or increasing in intensity as the stone moves through your urinary tract.
    2. Pain or burning sensation while urinating
    3. Nausea and vomiting.
    4. Abnormal urine color (Pink, red or brown urine) or Cloudy or foul-smelling urine.

    Renal calculi, also known as kidney stones, are solid masses that form in the urinary tract. There are different types of renal calculi, each with its own unique features. Here are the four main types of renal calculi and their features:

    1. Calcium stones: These are the most common type of renal calculi, accounting for up to (61-75)% of all cases. They are composed of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate and can be caused by a variety of factors such as high levels of calcium in the urine, dehydration, and certain medications. Appearance: Envelope or dumbbell shaped. Presentation age: In any age. Approx. ratio men vs women: 2:1 . Recurrence: 38%

    2. Uric acid stones: These stones are formed when there is an excess of uric acid in the urine. They account for 95-15)% of all renal calculi cases. Uric acid stones are often softer than other types of stones and can be dissolved with medication. Appearance: Amorphous or wedge shaped. Presentation age: In any age. Approx. ratio men vs women: 1:2 . Recurrence: 43%

    3. Struvite stones: These stones are also known as infection stones because they are caused by urinary tract infections. They account for (5-15)% of all renal calculi cases. Struvite stones can grow quickly and become quite large, sometimes filling the entire kidney. Appearance: Coffin-lid shaped. Presentation age: In any age. Approx. ratio men vs women: 1:3 . Recurrence: 41%

    4. Cystine stones: These stones are rare and hereditary. They account for only (1-2)% of all renal calculi cases. Cystine stones are caused by a genetic disorder that affects the way the body processes certain amino acids. Appearance: Hexagon shaped. Presentation age: most frequently in 0-20 age. Approx. ratio men vs women: 2:1. Recurrence: 89%

    5. Uric acid: They account for only (10-15)% of all renal calculi cases. Appearance: Rhomboid shaped. Presentation age: most frequently in 60-65 age. Approx. ratio men vs women: 4:1. Recurrence: 51%

    Diagnosis for kidney stones such as:

    1. Blood testing. Blood tests may reveal too much calcium or uric acid in your blood.

    2. Urine testing. The 24-hour urine collection test may show that you’re excreting too many stone-forming minerals or too few stone-preventing substances.

    3. Imaging. Imaging tests may show kidney stones in your urinary tract. High-speed or dual-energy computerized tomography (CT) may reveal even tiny stones. Simple abdominal X-rays are used less frequently because this kind of imaging test can miss small kidney stones.

    4. Ultrasound, a noninvasive test that is quick and easy to perform, is another imaging option to diagnose kidney stones.

    5. Analysis of passed stones. You may be asked to urinate through a strainer to catch stones that you pass. Lab analysis will reveal the makeup of your kidney stones. Your doctor uses this information to determine what’s causing your kidney stones and to form a plan to prevent more kidney stones.
