A member asked:
Is there a specific classification of "disease" for a person that has chronic kidney stones? (i develop an average of 30+ yearly sizes 2mm to 10mm.)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney stones: Those who form stones could have a metabolic disorder allowing the to form. A full workup with either a urologist or a nephrologist could determine if there is underlying disease as the cause.
