A member asked:
Why do some people develop kidney stones and some more than once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genes/diet/lifestyle: A genetic predisposition, dietary factors and lifestyle excesses all contribute to stone formation. Since you can't do anything about your genes, you should focus on diet and lifestyle changes that you can control. Your md will need to know the composition of your stones, as well as the results of a PTH assessment and urorisk evaluation. Adequate hydration for a uop > 2l/24hours is paramount.
