10 Causes of Kidney Stone

Genetics

Personal or family history can contribute to the development of kidney stones. If you have someone in the family, such as father, mother, or sibling, with this health issue, you are more likely to have it, too. Similarly, when you have already had on or a few kidney stones, the chance is you would develop a few more in the future. Since genetics is an indispensable cause, the only way to minimize the risk is to have regular health checks to find out stones early and have the right treatments. [6]
