Kidney stones are mineral deposits that form in the kidneys. They can vary in size, with some being as small as a grain of sand, and others being as large as a pebble. The size of the kidney stone does not always correspond to the severity of the symptoms a person might experience.<\/p>\n

Small kidney stones may pass through the urinary tract without causing any symptoms. However, larger stones may become stuck in the urinary tract. This is usually the point at which a person will experience\u00a0the first signs and symptoms\u00a0of a kidney stone.<\/p>\n

This article outlines the early signs and symptoms of kidney stones. We also discuss the causes of kidney stones, as well as their potential complications.<\/a>Early signs and symptoms<\/p>\n
