The kidneys are a pair of organs that are primarily responsible for filtering metabolites and minerals from the circulatory system!. These secretions are then passed to the bladder and out of the body as urine!. Some of the substances found in urine are able to crystalize, and in a concentrated form these chemicals can precipitate into a solid deposit attached to the kidney walls!. These crystals can grow through a process of accretion to form a kidney stone!.[1] In medical terminology these deposits are known as renal calculi (Latin renal, "kidney" and calculi, "pebbles")!.[2]

Renal calculi can vary in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as a golf ball!.[3] Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms!. If stones grow to sufficient size before passage
