Prevalence of Kidney Stones The lifetime incidence of kidney stones is nearly 13 percent in men and 7 percent in women. Once an individual has formed a stone, the likelihood of recurrence is 50 percent or greater at five years and up to 80 percent at 10 years.
Kidney stones are relatively common and recent research indicates their incidence in the United States is rising over time in both men and women, but most particularly in women. The reason for this increase is not known, but diet and lifestyle factors are considered prime suspects.
