Answer

Kidney stones are formed when crystal forming substances such as calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate and uric acid are more than the fluid in the urine. When these chemicals start sticking together, they form crystals, called kidney stones. They may be formed in any area of the excretory system and cause severe pain.
