How To Prevent Kidney Stones

What can I do to prevent kidney stones?

If we don't have a 24 hour urine study available to us or stone composition based on analysis of an obtained stone that one has passed, then primarily to prevent kidney stoned from forming, increasing fluid intake is the best rule of thumb. A minimum of approximately two quarters or two litres, plus the addition of the juice of one lemon per quart or litre would greatly reduce the risk of forming new stones. Additionally, however, if we are able to perform a 24 hour urine collection, much more information can be obtained, which would allow us to give advice on dietary manipulation; either avoiding certain products or increasing the intake of other products in order to prevent stones from forming in the future, once again.
