ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances-such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid-than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.

Detailed explanation-2: -These crystals are made from oxalate-a substance found in foods like green, leafy vegetables-combined with calcium. Having too much oxalate or too little urine can cause the oxalate to crystalize and clump together into stones.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common type of kidney stone is a calcium oxalate stone. Most kidney stones are formed when oxalate, a by product of certain foods, binds to calcium as urine is being made by the kidneys. Both oxalate and calcium are increased when the body doesn’t have enough fluids and also has too much salt.

Detailed explanation-4: -Calcium stones: Most kidney stones are composed of calcium and oxalate. Many people who form calcium containing stones have too much calcium in their urine, a condition known as hypercalciuria There are several reasons why hypercalciuria may occur.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reduce dietary sodium: The risk of kidney stones increases with increased daily sodium consumption. A low-sodium diet is recommended for people who form calcium stones. Excess sodium is excreted by the kidneys, which also increases the calcium in your urine, increasing stone formation.
