Recurrent kidney stones can develop every two to four years. The reasons that stones recur can be a combination of several factors, including habits, diet, heredity, and chance. No two patients are the same, but for every patient, prevention is important. Your doctor can help you look at your current habits and diet to see where changes could be made. For this reason, it?s important to have as much information as you can about your medical history and medications, your family history, and your eating and drinking habits. For example, increased salt consumption could result in higher calcium levels in your urine, which contributes to stone formation. You?ll also need to look beyond salt intake at fluids, calcium, protein, sugar, and oxalate intake.
