Kidney Stones are formed in the urinary tract, usually from crystals of calcium or magnesium. Genetic factors play a role, as kidney stones do run in families, but dietary factors also play a role. Having too much salt in your diet, or not taking in enough fluid can be a factor. Kidney stones can form anywhere from the kidneys to the bladder. Pain is the most common symptom, and it can cause blood in the urine.

Those kidney stones can be painful!!!
