The trio: Dehydration + diet+ being overweight. The most common cause of kidney stones is not drinking enough water. (10glasses/day). Another reason is a diet high in protein, sodium, and oxalate-rich foods (dark green veggies). Being overweight increased calcium in the urine leading to kidney stones. These are the most important prevention measures for controlling these risk factors.
