    About this calculator

    Based on the MIMIC study — a multi-centre research study of 4,171 patients across 71 hospitals in 7 countries. It identified the key factors that predict whether a kidney stone will pass without treatment.

    Important: This tool gives an estimate to support conversations with your doctor. It does not set treatment thresholds, predict how long passing will take, or account for all individual circumstances. Always follow the advice of your medical team.

          Does My Diet Increase My Stone Risk?

          Answer 10 quick questions about your eating habits and find out which dietary patterns may be raising your risk — with practical, easy-to-follow advice.

          ℹ️ This tool is for education only. It does not diagnose or replace advice from your doctor. If you have kidney disease, gout, bowel conditions, or are pregnant, please seek personalised guidance from your clinician.
          Check your hospital letter or lab report — this helps us give you more tailored advice
          Think about crisps, takeaways, ready meals, sauces
          Large portions of animal protein can affect urine chemistry
          e.g. liver, kidney, shellfish, anchovies, sardines
          e.g. spinach, beetroot, nuts, chocolate, rhubarb, tea
          e.g. cola, fruit juice, sports drinks, energy drinks
          e.g. dairy, fortified plant milks, yoghurt, cheese — too little can actually raise risk
          e.g. lemons, oranges, grapefruit — citrate helps prevent stones
          Plant-forward meals help keep urine chemistry more balanced
          Sometimes used to alkalinise urine — prescribed or self-administered

For personalised dietary prevention — including urine tests or metabolic evaluation — please speak with your urologist or stone clinic team.
