Due to Delhi's scorching heat and less water consumption, cases of kidney stones are increasing rapidly among people in the age group of 20-40 in the city. Dr Anoop Gulati, director of urology and kidney transplant at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Faridabad, told the Times of India that there has been a 30-40 percent increase in cases of kidney stones among young people in the last month.
The reason for this is heat and the dehydration it causes. This problem is most common among young people because they stay out in the sun for college and office, which makes them sweat a lot and causes dehydration in the body. In such a situation, understanding the relationship between dehydration and kidney stones is very important for your health.
How does dehydration cause kidney stones?
According to the National Institutes of Health, Kidney stones are a common side effect of dehydration. When there is a lack of water in the body, urine production decreases. This causes minerals to accumulate together, leading to the formation of kidney stones.
