Kidneystone

How do you stay hydrated throughout the day? Whether you’re dealing with extreme temperatures on either end of the weather spectrum or it’s pretty temperate where you live, it’s important for your body to stay hydrated. Maybe you keep a water bottle with you at all times. Or maybe you set a reminder on your phone. Share your favorite hydration hacks in the comments below! ⬇️

Kidney stones can be very uncomfortable and painful regardless of what’s causing them, but did you know that there are many causes of kidney stones? Gender, ethnicity and genetics can all affect how likely a person is to experience kidney stones. Some health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, can also increase a person's risk. Another health condition that can cause kidney stones is primary hyperoxaluria type 1, or PH1, a genetic rare disease that mainly affects the kidneys.

If you or a loved one has ever experienced (or are currently experiencing) kidney stones, we encourage you to talk to your doctor about what might be causing them.

P.S. For more information and resources about PH1 in particular, follow our #PH1 page (or make a post of your own!), or join our PH1 Support group to connect with others who understand.
