A member asked:
Are recurrent kidney formers more prone to have chronic kidney disease or kidney malfunction later in life?

I presume you mean 'stone'. It depends on causes of stone formation and how and when treated. In present times delay in treatment is rare so chances of later problems is also minimal.

Yes, due to mechanical and infectious complications patients with frequent kidney stones tend to have their kidney function impaired later in life.
