What Are Kidney Stones? Kidney stones are hard pebble-like objects that can form inside your kidneys. They’re made of minerals and salts. You might hear your doctor call them renal calculi, nephrolithiasis, or urolithiasis. Kidney stones are small -- usually between the size of a kernel of corn and a grain of salt. They can form when your body has too much of certain minerals, and at the same time doesn’t have enough liquid. The stones can be brown or yellow, and smooth or rough.
