Detailed explanation-1: -Kidney stones (also called renal calculi, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis) are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Diet, excess body weight, some medical conditions, and certain supplements and medications are among the many causes of kidney stones.

Detailed explanation-2: -A salty diet is a risk factor for calcium stones because too much salt is passing into your urine, keeping calcium from being reabsorbed from your urine and into your blood. Reducing salt in your diet lowers urine calcium, making it less likely for calcium stones to form.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kidney stones are solid crystals formed from the salts in urine. They are sometimes called renal calculi. Kidney stones can block the flow of urine and cause infection, kidney damage or even kidney failure. They can vary in size and location.

Detailed explanation-4: -A high salt diet can increase the amount of calcium lost in urine, which can cause kidney stones. A number of studies have successfully shown that a reduction in salt consumption can reduce calcium excretion, and reduce reoccurrence of kidney stones.
