By Dr. Mercola Kidney stones (renal lithiasis) can be one of the most excruciatingly painful conditions you can experience. In the United States, about 10-15 percent of adults will be diagnosed with a kidney stone in their lifetime. Roughly 1 million Americans develop kidney stones each year. Once you have had one kidney stone attack, your chance of recurrence is about 70 to 80 percent. urethra Family genetics can increase your risk. And the younger you are when you have your first attack, the greater your risk of recurrence. Records of kidney stones can be found since the beginning of civilization.
