Some people have a propensity to develop kidney stones more than others. There is no absolute knowledge of cause for this. To lose a kidney because of stones is an EXTREME case, so I don't know what your other kidney looks like.
Normally you can live with just one kidney indefinitely as long as it is functioning properly. As long as it is being perfused and there is no obstruction there is no concern. I would keep follow up visits on a routine basis with your urologist.
Good luck.

Right food is the best medicine known. For natural healing of kidney stones without surgery, it is recommended to add of a lot of oil to ones diet, olive oil for example. Oil penetrates and dissolves kidney stone materials and it lubricates the urinary tract allowing small stones to pass through with ease. Fresh water melon is also recommended, it soothes the overburdened kidneys, strengthens muscles, and adds water. Tomatoes and cucumbers clear kidneys also; however, meat containing an excess of uric acid, tends to break down the kidney cells through overwork in excretion. I wish you good luck and long life, one strong kidney can last till you are very, very old.

There are wonderful medicines in homeopathy that will dissolve the kidneys so please contact a homeopath as early as possible. Second the bananna Pith that is the inner most part of the trunk of the bananna tree is taken and squashed and its juice is taken 3 or 4 times a day. This dissolves the stones in kidneys very rapidly without any side effects.

There are. It depends on what kind of stone. There are so many kinds of stones produced by the kidney and each stone produced in the kidney or bladder of one person has a different composition; the composition is dependent on the kind of food you usually take. This is formed when the urine is very concentrated (supersaturated). That is why it is very necessary for stone formers to drink a lot of water to dilute urine (which then make it less likely to form stone anymore).

one can live on one kidney for a long time- just take care of the kidney that you do have. I think to get rid of the kidney stones, you either have to pass them or go to the doctor and they can destroy them by using laser (i think that's what they use) and the stones break up and then you still have to pass them.

I have suffered from chronic kidney stones for over 25 years. Recently I finally found the underlying cause - a leaky gut (intestinal hyperpemeability) caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease. A leaky gut allows large amounts of oxalate to be 'absorbed'. Oxalate drives the formation of the most common type of kidney stones - calcium oxalate stones. Celiac disease, other food allergies, use of NSAIDs (e.g. Advil, Motrin, Alleve, Naprosyn, etc.) and intestinal dysbiosis (abnormal microflora in the gut; usually a result of the use of antibiotics and/or acid-inhibiting drugs) can cause a leaky gut. Find a competent doctor (you may need to find a good Naturopathic Physician or Doctor of Chiropractic that specializes in nutrition) to help you test for these problems. Supplementing with calcium (it binds and blocks the absorption of oxalates), magnesium, and vitamin B6 may also reduce the risk of stone formation. Note: for a long time docs recommended limiting calcium intake in stone formers; however, a large body of scientific evidence now shows that calcium supplementation is the proper 'treatment' for reducing stone formation. Best wishes and good luck.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

Have you already gone through the full kidney and colon cleansing processes?
Kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a huge amount of liquid, and taking care what you are eating. Just a better diet with more water can be enough! But, also any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys! The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet is also a Kidney cleanse, juice fasting is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting that incorporates a lot of liquids, will in the same time clean a kidney. Do you need special herbs? Only if you have acute lower back pain, clear symptom of Kidney stones (sharp glass like crystals, made of phosphoric acid, or sometimes may include other acids). In special occasions, you can get a kidney stone crystallized in less then a few days !!! To melt a stone/stones, you may need a few weeks, or one day with the Watermelon Cleanse.
Herbal Kidney Cleanse Designed by Dr. Hulda Clark from her book "The Cure for All Disease", explains in detail how to cleanse the kidneys, and her cleansing program will get rid of most if not all the stones, WITHOUT surgery.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root
1/2 cup Gravel root
1/2 cup Marshmallow root
4 bunches of fresh parsley
Goldenrod tincture (leave this out of the recipe if you are allergic to it)
Ginger Capsules
Uva Ursi capsules
Vegetable glycerine
Vitamin B6 250mg
Magnesium oxide 300mg or 1/4 cup Green Drink Beverage
Measure ¼ cup of each root and set them to soak, Together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal container and a non-metal lid (a dinner plate will do). After four hours (or over night), bring liquid with soaked herbs to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Drink a ¼ cup as soon as it is cool enough. Pour the rest in through a bamboo or plastic strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Refrigerate the glass jar.
Find fresh parsley at a grocery store that does not spray its produce (ask the owner). Boil the fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes. Strain out the liquid, then drink ¼ cup when cool enough. Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint. Put the cooked parsley in your compost bucket.
Dose: each morning, pour together ¾ cup of the root mixture and ½ cup parsley water, filling a large mug. Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs. of glycerin.
Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get a stomach ache and feel pressure in the bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose.
Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice.
After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the kidney cleanse for six weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems.
Also take:
Ginger capsules: one with each meal (3/day).
Uva Ursi capsules: one with breakfast and two with supper
Vitamin B6 (250mg): one per day
Magnesium oxide (300mg): one a day
Take these supplements just before your meal to avoid burping.
Some notes on this recipe: this herbal tea, as well as the parsley, can easily spoil. Heat it to boiling every fourth day if it is being stored in the refrigerator; this resterilizes it. If you sterilize it in the morning you may take it to work without refrigerating it (use a glass container).
There are probably dozens of herbs that can dissolve kidney crystals and stones. If you can only find several of those in the recipe, make the recipe anyway; it will just take longer to get results. Remember that vitamin B6 and magnesium taken daily can prevent oxalate stones from forming. But only if you stop drinking regular tea and cocoa. Tea has 15.6 mg oxalate acid per cup. A tall glass of iced tea could give you over 20 mg oxalate acid. Switch to herb teas. Cocoa and chocolate, also, have too much oxalate acid to be used as beverages.
Remember too that phosphate crystals are made when you eat too much phosphate. Phosphate levels are high in meats, breads, cereals, pastas, and carbonated drinks, eat less of these, and increase your milk (2%), fruits and vegetables. Drink at least 2 pints of water per day.
You can dissolve all your kidney stones in 3 weeks, but make new ones in 3 days if you are drinking tea and cocoa and phosphate beverages.
Cleanse your kidneys at least twice a year.
