kidney stone
Painful urinary blockage
A kidney stone is a hard mineral deposit that forms in the kidney and can cause severe pain when passing through the urinary tract.
Stones range from grain-sized to golf-ball-sized.
The pain of passing a kidney stone is notoriously intense: He was doubled over with a kidney stone.
Also called a renal calculus.
