The kidneys filter the blood to remove excess mineral salts and other wastes the body doesn’t need. They subsequently produce urine, which excretes these wastes through the urinary tract. Kidney stones form when the urine has such a high mineral content that it can no longer dissolve the particles. The insoluble portion forms crystals that clump together and form hard stones.

When kidney stones are very small, they may pass through the urinary tract without difficulty. Once they become large, they can become painful and, in some cases, cause blockage which must be treated medically. For some people, this is a recurring problem that can be controlled to by diet.

Before formulating a treatment plan, it is important to determine what type of kidney stones you have. There are many types of kidney stones, based on the mineral that the body is trying to excrete in the urine. Your physician can run tests to determine which kind of kidney stones you are prone to and prescribe appropriate treatment. A plan that works for one kind of stone (including dietary intervention) may not work for another.
