I am a young female who has had kidney stones for several years now. I noticed on my x-rays that they mentioned it looked like I had the above mentioned condtion. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this? My doctor can not explain why I have such a high recurrence of stones or why they grow so fast, though I have done a few 24 hr urine tests, follow the calcium stone diet, drink all the lemonade my stomach can handle...Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this?
Thanks for your input.
