A kidney stone is the result of a super-saturation of minerals and acid salts in your urine, such as calcium and uric acid, which then crystallize and form solid masses. This can happen if you don’t drink enough fluids, and if your urine is highly acidic or highly alkaline. Certain drugs can also increase the likelihood of your developing kidney stones, such as Lasix (furosemide), Topomax (topiramate) etc.
