A member asked:
What are the causes of kidney stones and how can they be avoided?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are several types of kidney stones and preventative measures are dictated by the composition of the stones. One universally helpful therapy is hydration. Kidney stone formers shoud strive to make 2 liters or more of urine daily. Most people fall far short of this.
