Impact of Kidney Stones on One’s Health

1
Kidney Stone Symptoms
Role of Kidney Stone
Kidney plays an essential role in moving out the
toxins from our body through urine. They arent
just one big filtering sponge, though. Every
minute, about one liter of blood (one fifth of
all the blood pumped by the heart) enters the
kidneys through the renal arteries. The blood
then runs through tiny filtering units of the
kidney, called nephrons.
2
How Kidney Stone Formed
The leading cause of kidney stones is a lack of
water. When there is not enough water to dilute
the uric acid (component of urine), the pH level
within the kidney drops and becomes more acidic.
An excessively acidic environment in the kidneys
is conducive to the formation of kidney stones.
