Stone Disorders

Kidney stones are hardened mineral deposits that form in the kidney and cause symptoms in the kidney, ureter or bladder. These stones can cause severe pain as they pass out of the kidney and block the flow of urine. 95% more men experience kidney stones and they often occur with more frequency starting at age 40. Once you develop a stone, you are also more likely to have a recurrent problem. For more information on stone disorder and treatment options.
