Suggest Remedy For Kidney Stones

Hi, I recently had a kidney stone and I just received the results from my blood/stone analyses. My parathyroid levels are normal, and all of my nutrients are in a normal range. I got to the stone analysis section, and it says that the stone is made of something called mucin. Can someone explain what this is, and how I can prevent future stones? Thanks.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Around 80 percent stones are made up of calcium, 20 percent of uric acid and there are mixed type of stones , consisting of a mixture of theese two and some other forms. Mucin is not something you need to worry about. A metabolic stone testing consists of calcium, phoshorus,uric acid,oxalate,and a 24 hours urine calcium, phosphorus,uric acid. According to the reports, a specific preventive advice is given. In general, take 12-15 glasses of liquids daily, which's the best way to prevent stone recurrence.
