Episode 43: Big Thunder Mountain (Kidney Stones)


Listen Later

Kidney stone disease occurs when minerals in urine collect and combine in the kidney... and over time, building up like a jawbreaker in reverse, into larger and larger stones. These stones typically form in the kidney itself, and many smaller stones are passed without symptoms. Other, larger stones can form, causing great pain, blood in the urine, nausea, and vomiting.
