Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause anything from mild discomfort to intense pain, especially when they fall into the ureter (the tube that connects the kidneys with the bladder) and blocks the flow of urine causing swelling of the kidney (hydronephrosis). The stones are then called ureteric stones and the severe pain is called Renal Colic or Ureteric Colic.
