Kidney stones are formed by solid mineral and salt deposits that deposit in the kidneys. These stones can vary in size. They are formed when certain substances in the urine, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, become highly concentrated and crystallize, sticking together to form stones.

Eating foods high in oxalate, like spinach, and nuts, or being on a high-protein diet can contribute to stone formation.
A genetic predisposition to kidney stones increases the risk.
Conditions like hyperparathyroidism, urinary tract infections, and cystic kidney diseases can promote stone formation.
Some medications, including diuretics and antacids containing calcium, can contribute to stone formation.
