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.
