A member asked:

My husband just passed a 5mm kidney stone. do we need to store it any way in particular for his dr. visit this week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Keep it dry and in a waterproof container. Analyzing it can help determine if dietary changes or medications may help decrease the frequency and severity of future episodes.

Dr Krick and another doctor agreed
