Renal Stone
Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. Sinuses are air filled pockets or spaces found in the bones of the face, around the eyes and the nose.
Infection of sinuses is one of the common health care complaints in the world. Sinusitis can be acute (going on less than four weeks) sub acute (4–8 weeks) or chronic (going on for 8 weeks or more).

Stones are first formed in the kidney and then they pass towards the bladder. Small stones may be passed with out giving rise to any problems. But large stones are ones which cause problem. Kidney stones are more common is middle age people than the elderly.

Hereditary. It may run in the family. Chronic urinary tract infection in one of the major cause for stone formation.
Decrease in fluid intake may cause formation of stones. Increase calcium intake i.e. more than the required amount (e.g. intake of too much of chocolates, strawberries). Prolonged bed ridden patients may have stone formation.
