Kidneys filter out and discharge acid (toxin) from the blood in order for us to stay alive. The acid is formed from metabolism, pollution or a long standing infection. When this filtering function is obstructed, or when the kidneys are overloaded, acid crystallizes and forms stones. Many patients suffer from recurring kidney stones. This means that even an expensive operation to remove these stones will not get to the root of the problem, as these stones return a few months or years later. Sometimes polluted drinking water cause kidney stones.

These treatments are either diuretics or kidney stone removal operations.
