Kids can get Kidney Stones

I read this in a magazine at out library, and this is one article which we parents should be aware of. Kidney stones may seem like an adult condition, but doctors say this painful problem is rapidly on the rise in children, typically striking around age five. Experts don't fully understand what's behind the increase, but they think kids are eating too many sodium foods (think fast food and quick fix dinners) and not drinking enough water. Stones form when kids urine is too concentrated with salt and other minerals.

If your child has pain in her mid to lower back or belly, and blood in her urine, a fever or vomiting. Go to your doctor or the E.R. right away, she may need surgery. Once a child has had one stone, she has a 50 percent chance of having another.
