What causes a kidney stone and how can you prevent one?

Urine chemistry: Stones form due to high concentrations of stone elements in the urine e.g. Calcium, oxalate. A 24 hour urine collection by a nephrologist or urologist can make a diagnosis. The first step in prevention is to drink enough to void 2 litres a day. See your physician first.

Kidney stone: The causes are dehydration, familial, gouty nephropathy, inflammatory bowel disease, oral intake of calcium containing food or vitamin& parathyroid disease. This is accumulation of calcium, phosphate, urate, cysteine & oxalate minerals not excreted by kidney. Drink lot of water and treat the causes mentioned above. Thanks.
