It would be a good idea to try to always remain well hydrated. If you have any bladder or kidney infections, treat them promptly. See your doctor if you have any bladder or lower back pain. Good luck.

Eat less salt and animal protein with fluid intake for a total urine about 2 liters a day would be the best prevention for most types of kidney stone. Good luck.

Because your Mom has kidney stones does not necessarily mean you will have them too. Eat a healthy diet, drink lots of water, avoid dehydration, get urine checked periodically and enjoy life instead of worrying about something which might never happen
