A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral formed within the kidney or urinary tract. Kidney stones have many causes and can affect any part of the urinary tract from the kidneys to your bladder. The stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and cloud together.
