Preventative measures for kidney stones include increasing fluid intake to 2-3 liters daily and decreasing oxalate intake.

“So how can you prevent them? I mean, each person is individual. If you get a kidney stone, typically we do what's called a 24-hour urine analysis plus some bloodwork to assess what is the metabolic abnormality. So we can target that either with diet or with medication. And so the kind of general recommendations for people who have kidney stones. One is increase your fluid intake to 2 to 3 liters. Again, the same number I told you before; you want to decrease your oxalate intake.”
