What causes kidney stones?

The kidney is an organ that is responsible for filtering excess fluid and waste from the blood and turning it into urine. Kidney stones can form when there is a high concentration of salts and minerals in the urine. When their concentration is high enough, the salts and minerals can form crystals that may stay in the kidney and group together to form a kidney stone.
