What Are Kidney Stones?
7. Risk Factors
One of the potential causes of kidney stones is dehydration, so people that are often dehydrated are at high risk. People that eat high sodium and high protein diets are also more prone to developing kidney the stones. Certain medical conditions will also put people at a higher risk, particularly some conditions with the digestive system.
People who are obese are also more likely to develop kidney stones, and you are also more likely to have them if there is a history of kidney stones in your family. Certain supplements will also increase the chances that kidney stones will develop, and this includes calcium-based antacids, and vitamin C supplements.
