Sorry, I had to skip past all the posts with people cursing at each other and talking about anal, how do you prevent from getting them?[/quote:681b4]

Some people just have a genetic predisposition to get them.
It occurs at the metabolic level. Staying well hydrated helps prevent them..
types of stones:
65%calcium oxalate
20%Magnesium ammonium phosphate
7.5%calcium phosphate
5% uric acid
1.5%cystein
People with too much serum calcium (hyperparathyriodism) are highly prone to calcium stone fromation.
Organisms that procuce urinary tract infections make cause stones.
Improper diet also plays a role( like strict diets for bodybuilders)
Those were the main causes listed
