Kidney Stones/Renal Stones
General Info about Kidney Stones

Text

Kidney stones or renal stones are gravel-like collections of chemicals that may appear in any area of the urinary system, from the kidney to the bladder. They may be small or large, single or multiple.

The Times whereat you often in a day have the Urinary Excretion performed with Ease, are times which invite you very frequently to lift up your Hearts unto God with such an Acknowledgment as This; O,My most merciful God, I bless thee, that the grinding Torments of the Stone, are not now grinding of me.

- Cotton Mather, 1724

This is really helpful for people who wants to treat and keep their kidney themselves. Therefore it would be very good if you continue and make wider lessons.
