Urine has a natural substance, which dissolves these minerals, thereby preventing them into becoming solids or calculi. Sometimes due to dehydration, these salts don?t get dissolved and crystallization takes place. It grows large enough to obstruct the renal ducts or get stuck in the urethra, causing sharp and severe pain in the urinary tract. Untreated, kidney stones can cause renal failure.
