| | Kidney Stones in Adults |
 | | Kidney stones, one of the most painful of the urologic disorders, are not a product of modern life. | | | Stones that cause lasting symptoms or other complications may be treated by various techniques, most of which do not involve major surgery. | | | This treatment is often used when the stone is quite large or in a location that does not allow effective use of ESWL. |

| | When a new kidney is placed in a person's body, the body sees the transplanted organ as a threat and tries to attack it. | | | To allow the organ to successfully live in a new body, medications must be given to trick the immune system into accepting the transplant and not thinking it is a foreign object. | | | Nephrologists will help manage your condition before and after the surgery. |

| | The most obvious reason to learn about kidney stones and modify a person's behavior accordingly is to avoid the intense pain which they cause. | | | But if medical attention is not received to identify the cause of the pain and remove the blockage, the pain is likely to gradually go away over a few days time. | | | This lack of pain may cause the sufferer to think the crisis has passed when, in fact, the kidney which has been blocked by the stone has shut down. |
