How do you get a kidney stone?

Answer:

Men are four times more likely to get kidney stones than women, and if you have previously had a kidney stone then you will have a 50 percent chance of developing another one within five years. Most people have no predisposing factors to explain why they develop kidney stones. You may have an increased risk of developing kidney stones if you:

have a family history of kidney stones
are aged between 20 and 50
are taking certain medicines
have only one kidney, or an abnormally shaped kidney
eat a diet high in protein
don't drink enough fluids

There ya go!! Hope that helped.
