Nephrolithiasis is the formation of crystalline mineral concretions, or kidney stones, within the renal pelvis or calyces. It is clinically significant due to its potential to cause acute flank pain, urinary obstruction, and recurrent urinary tract infections. A key complication includes hydronephrosis, which can impair renal function if untreated.
