Be aware of kidney stone before it leads to chronic kidney disease
Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi or nephrolithiasis are hard deposits made of minerals that form inside the kidneys. Although kidney stones can strike anyone at any age, men are more susceptible to develop this condition than women. Peak incidence occurs between ages 30 to 40 years. If they are left untreated, serious complications might potentially develop, including infection of the kidney, sepsis, injury to ureter and impaired kidney function that eventually leads to chronic kidney disease. Knowing the warning signs of kidney stone allows for an early diagnosis and effective treatment given in a timely manner before the condition severely progresses.
