What causes kidney stones?

By MindStick

Kidney stones occur when urine contains too many crystal-forming chemicals like calcium & oxalate which crystallise due to insufficient fluid dilution

Dehydration, or a lack of appropriate fluid intake, might increase the probability of kidney stones by causing concentrated urine crystals to form.

Certain drugs, weight loss surgery, and infections can all raise the risk of kidney stones, as can some weight loss surgeries.

Moreover, a high-protein, high-sodium, or high-fructose diet can potentially raise the risk of kidney stones.

Additionally, obesity raises the chance of kidney stones, and a family history of kidney stones is also a risk factor.
