They can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pearl. Kidney stones pass through the urinary tract, from the kidneys to the bladder. Before passing them through urination, patients offer suffer extreme pain in the back, side, abdomen, or groin. According to the National <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidney.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kidney Foundation<\/a>, more than half a million people go to emergency rooms for kidney stone problems every year. In fact, the prevalence of kidney stones in the United States has increased in both men and women from 3.8 percent in the late 1970s to 8.8 percent in the 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>When a doctor or other medical professional fails to diagnose kidney stones or uses unnecessary means to diagnose kidney stones, the risk of harm to the patient significantly increases.
