Renal calculi refer to the stones formed in the urinary system. The urinary system includes kidney, ureter and bladder. Most of stones are formed from the calcium oxalate and will be in kidney or ureters. It is associated with the pain in abdomen, groin area or flank. Urinary issues with nausea vomiting are the common symptoms of renal calculi. If the urine is not being eliminated properly because of the stones it leads to hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis is nothing but the swelling of kidney due to building-up of urine.
