A member asked:

I'd rather give birth than pass another kidney stone. are my kidneys at risk with the stress of chronic attacks and passing stones?14 in 10 months.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney injury: Fortunately, a kidney needs to be completely obstructed for a prolonged time (ie. 1 month) before any permanent damage occurs. However, frequent stone passage may increase risks of infection and scar tissue formation within the ureter.
