I have passed over 100 kidney stones.what can i do to prevent more stones in kidneys.

Catch a stone: Try to recover a stone after you pass one. Take it to a urologist and they will find out what it is made of. Most stones are made of calcium oxalate. Diet changes, drinking plenty of fluids and diuretics can help prevent them . Sometimes they are caused by parathyroid tumors. Other types of stones are made of uric acid. The key is learning what kind of stones you have.
