A member asked:
Please describe the major cause of frequent passing kidney stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: If you have had multiple kidney stones you really should be consulting with a urologist and possibly an endocrinologist. Kidney stones can be caused by repeat or continued infection or metabolic states such as hyperparathyroidism.
