Kidney stone disease. (Redirected from Kidney stone) Kidney stone disease, also known as urolithiasis, is when a solid piece of material (kidney stone) occurs in the urinary tract. Kidney stones typically form in the kidney and leave the body in the urine stream. A small stone may pass without causing symptoms.
Get rid of kidney stones fast. A new, almost painless treatment to cure kidney stones, which can take just 30 minutes to carry out, has been developed. Doctors at the London Clinic have refined a procedure called lithotripsy which disintegrates the stones with shock waves much faster than current treatments. A kidney stone is formed when crystals separate from the urine and build up, sometimes over years, on the inner surfaces of the kidney in a hard mass.
