Kidney stones can develop because of specific changes in the kidney tissue due to various diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver. Particularly, a triple mechanism is recognized between metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and syndrome, and atherosclerosis the formation of kidney stones.
