Kidney calculi
Additionally, renal stones are the leading cause of kidney disease. When they pass, you may experience excruciating agony in your sides and back. Kidney stones may be caused by a genetic disorder that causes excessive calcium absorption from the food you consume, as well as obstructions or urinary tract infections. Diet and medication can sometimes prevent the recurrence of stone formation. In cases where the stone is too large to pass, it may be necessary to eliminate the stone or crush it into small ashes that can be readily expelled from the body.
