Causes of Kidney Stones
By: Sarat Sabharwal
Causes of Kidney Stones
Urologic oncologist Dr. Sarat Sabharwal treats conditions related to prostate and kidney issues. As
a physician and surgeon for Health Orlando Inc., Dr. Sarat Sabharwal regularly performs
procedures to remove cancer cells and kidney stones.
Causes of Kidney Stones
Kidney stones develop when minerals clump together and form a solid mass in the urinary tract.
While small stones can pass normally through the urinary tract, larger stones can cause painful
blockages. Some of the most common causes of kidney stones include:
Causes of Kidney Stones
Dehydration - Urine dilutes minerals and disrupts the formation of masses. However, individuals
who don’t drink enough water do not generate enough urine, and are at increased risk of
developing stones. Drinking at least 10 cups of water or citrus juices daily helps maintain
appropriate hydration levels.
Causes of Kidney Stones
Diet - Certain foods are high in the minerals that are most likely to form kidney stones, so people
who eat a diet with too much oxalate, sodium, and animal-derived proteins have a higher risk.
However, eating calcium-rich foods can prevent oxalate from reaching the kidneys and causing
stones.
Causes of Kidney Stones
Medications - An increased risk of developing kidney stones can be a side effect of various
medications. Over-the-counter medications such as aspirin and antacids can cause stones. Some
prescription drugs that fight bacterial and viral infections can also increase susceptibility to
developing kidney stones.
