1. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can lead to concentrated urine, which can increase the risk of kidney stone formation.
2. Diet: Consuming a diet high in sodium, sugar, and protein, as well as low in calcium and water, can contribute to the formation of kidney stones.
3. Genetics: A family history of kidney stones can increase an individual's risk of developing them.
4. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and metabolic disorders, can increase the likelihood of kidney stone formation.
5. Obesity: Being overweight or obese can lead to an increased risk of kidney stones.
6. Medications: Some medications, such as diuretics, antacids, and certain antibiotics, can increase the risk of kidney stone formation.
7. Lifestyle factors: Factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking can also contribute to the development of kidney stones.

Metabolic Factors:
- Dehydration - Hypercalciuria (elevated calcium levels in urine) - Hyperoxaluria (elevated oxalate levels in urine) - Hyperuricosuria (elevated uric acid levels in urine) - Cystinuria (genetic disorder导致cystine在尿液中积累)
Anatomical Factors:
- Structural abnormalities in the kidneys or urinary tract (e.g., cysts, strictures) - Obstruction of urine flow (e.g., due to enlarged prostate or urethral stones) - Polycystic kidney disease (PKD)
Dietary Factors:
- High intake of sodium, animal protein, and refined carbohydrates - Low intake of fruits, vegetables, and water - Excessive intake of oxalate-rich foods (e.g., spinach, rhubarb, nuts)
- Mutations in genes involved in stone formation - Family history of kidney stones
Other Factors:
- Geographical location (e.g., certain areas have higher rates of stone formation) - Climate (e.g., hot, dry climates promote dehydration) - Occupation (e.g., jobs that involve heavy lifting or sweating)
