A member asked:
My dad has kidney stone, but i want to buy calcium supplements for him. can he take them with the kidney stone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney stones: NO! Before making that decision your dad needs to collect urine for 24 hours and measure a number of chemicals in the urine such as calcium, sodium, oxalate, and a few other metabolites that vary among doctors. There are also blood values to collect. .
