Kidney stones, or renal calculi, are clusters of crystals that form from minerals and other substances in your urinary tract, which consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It's estimated that one in 10 people will have a kidney stone at some time in their lives, and it's most common in males in their 30s and 40s.
