Adana and the Cukurova region is a geography where humidity and temperature are extremely high. This climate causes severe fluid loss from the body through sweating. Insufficient fluid consumption directly triggers kidney stone formation by increasing urine concentration.

With fluid loss, minerals such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid in the urine precipitate and crystallize. This significantly increases the number of patients applying with kidney stone complaints in the summer months in our region.
Golden Rules to Prevent Stone Formation
Kidney stones can be easily treated without damaging the kidneys when diagnosed early, either with medication or minimally invasive methods (laser lithotripsy).
