Kidney stones are a common urinary tract disorder. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, poor dietary habits are a primary cause of kidney stone formation. More than 240,000 Americans suffer from kidney stones due to the intake of a high-calcium diet. Improper lifestyle combined with irregular eating habits, eating fast food, consumption of lean meats, a fast-paced lifestyle and lack of daily exercise cause kidney stones. The symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting.
