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.
