Kniest dysplasia is a disorder of bone growth. This condition is characterized by short stature (dwarfism), enlarged joints and other skeletal abnormalities, and problems with vision and hearing. People with this condition have short stature from birth, with a short trunk and shortened limbs. Adult height ranges from 42 inches to 58 inches. Progressive joint enlargement and pain restrict movement of the joints, which limits activity and interferes with standing and walking. These joint problems can also lead to arthritis.

The kidneys are like the body's garbage collection and disposal system. Through microscopic units called nephrons, the kidneys remove waste products and extra water from the food a person eats, returning chemicals the body needs (such as sodium, phosphorus, and potassium) back into the bloodstream. The extra water combines with other waste to become urine, which flows through thin tubes called ureters to the bladder, where it stays until it exits through the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body from the bladder) when someone goes to the bathroom.

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy donated kidney is transplanted into your body. A successful kidney transplant will allow you to return to a more normal lifestyle and will free you from dialysis treatments. However, a kidney transplant is not a cure. It is the treatment of choice for kidney failure for those who are considered suitable candidates for a transplant. To find out if you are a candidate, your healthcare team will perform a series of tests as part of a complete medical assessment.

When you drink more water, you will urinate frequently and each time the stones will be removed from your kidney. More water thorough the urethra will push the stones down to the bladder even if they are slightly bigger in size. Though it will cause pain, you can be relieved of larger stones in the kidney. When you undertake kidney stone removal treatments, you will be left with broken stone pieces in your kidney most of the times.
