What Causes Frequent Kidney Stones?

I am a chronic kidney stone former. In the past 6 years I have had 5 procedures to get rid of these stones. The last surgery was 3 months ago and I was told all the stones were removed. I just had an X-ray and the findings show multiple calculi in the interpolar region of the left kidney with little change from last years X-ray. Are these new or did the surgeon not get all of the stones?

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your history, it seems that you are recurrent kidney stone former.
It requires evaluation to determine the cause for kidney stone formation.
Do basic urine report with culture, S.creatinine, venous bicarbonate, S.calcium iPTH and 24 hor urine analysis for stone with stone chemical analysis.
Maintain adequate hydration.
Consult nearby nephrologist or you can get to me also with reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
