July 2026: Beat the Heat – Prevent Kidney Stones

Jul 1, 2026 | Journal

Summer heat raises dehydration risk, and concentrated urine makes stones more likely. Small changes now can prevent big problems later.

Why stones spike in summer

Hot weather and outdoor activity lower hydration without you noticing. Pale, straw‑colored urine is a simple sign you’re drinking enough.

Prevention that works

Reach for water first and consider adding citrus for natural citrate. Go easy on sodium and heavy animal protein during summer gatherings. If you’ve had a stone before, a metabolic workup can identify your stone type and guide precise prevention.

Quick relief when needed

If symptoms strike, timely imaging and minimally invasive treatments can get you comfortable again and back to your plans.
