What is the leading cause of kidney stone formation? (Burden on the kidneys results in an overload on the liver and vice versa)

It is typical for patients with chronic liver diseases to develop kidney cysts and kidney stones. The explanation stems from the fact that the liver and kidneys perform many complementary metabolic activities, and the other often compensates for a burden on one. (High correlation between the two)

The leading cause of kidney stones is a diet of processed and industrialized foods and beverages that burden the kidneys and liver. Usually, the body can get rid of these stones, but this process requires a lot of drinking. Attacks of kidney stone displacement are excruciating and may be accompanied by fever and weakness resulting from secondary infection.

There are four main types of kidney stones:
Calcium stones: Made of calcium and phosphorus or calcium and oxalate. About 80% of kidney stones are calcium oxalate.
Struvite stones: These stones contain magnesium and ammonia. They are often quite large and take on the shape of a beam.
Uric acid stones: These stones, which make up 10% -5% of all kidney stones, are smooth, browner, and softer than other kidney stones.
Cystine stones: The color of these stones is usually yellow, and they are more similar to crystals than stones.
