4. Kidney Stones
Our kidneys have the task of helping to filter out toxins from our blood. Without them, our blood would become increasingly toxic as toxins accumulate, and we would not be able to survive for long. As such, it pays to take care of them, but even people who are careful can still develop problems with their kidneys.
Among the most common of all problems is kidney stones. These occur when fluids in the kidneys themselves begin to crystalize, resulting in small, hard masses. Kidney stones will usually do very little harm to the patient, but they can be excruciatingly painful to pass.
