A: what is a kidney stone and why do they hurt so much? A kidney stone, or renal lithiasis, is a nasty little jagged mass of minerals, acid salts and calcium.

Q:
My wife wants to know what causes kidney stones and how can she avoid having more, as she has suffered great pain with them in the past.
