Calcium Stones

Calcium stones are a type of kidney stone formed when calcium combines with other substances in the urine, such as oxalate or phosphate. These stones can develop when there is too much calcium or insufficient fluid, leading to higher concentrations of these materials. People may experience severe pain, blood in urine, or difficulty urinating when passing a stone. Treatment often involves increased hydration, dietary adjustments, and sometimes medication. In some cases, larger stones may require medical procedures to remove them. Dietary choices can help prevent their formation, especially reducing oxalate-rich foods.
