Young Children Developing Kidney Stones, says Urologist

May 4, 2009: 10:44 AM EST
Kidney stones are becoming an increasing problem in children, says urologist Gary Faerber, MD, at the University of Michigan Health System. The problem is normally associated with people aged 35 to 60. Faerber attributes the rise to obesity, increasingly sedentary lifestyles, high sodium diets, and not drinking enough water. Stones formed by calcium oxalate are the most common in the US. Fruits and vegetables, particularly strawberries and leafy greens, are high in oxalates. High-sugar drinks and fast foods also contribute to the problem. Stones can form if people don’t drink enough water, concentrating the urine and allowing crystals to form and develop into stones.
