Abstract

Renal stones are basically made up of various minerals and mild acid salt. While stones with smaller size (1 mm) will remain without creating painful trouble whereas increased in size (5-10 mm) will results into too much pain while passing through the urinary system. Renal Stones form twice as often in men as women. The peak age in men is 30 years; women have a bimodal age distribution, with peaks at 35 and 55 years. Once a kidney stone formed, the probability that a second stone will form within five to seven years is approximately 50% - according to urologist. The study is carried out in a both men and women in Ahmedabad City with almost nearby age groups.
