9. You Suffer From High Uric Acid
When someone suffers from high levels of uric acid, the chances of getting kidney stones largely increase. If you don’t drink enough water or if you eat too much red meat, you increase the amount of animal protein in your system and uric acid rises, causing kidney stones to form. This also means that people who have gout, caused by high levels of uric acid, have a much higher tendency for kidney stones to form.
