Yes it can when the water is high with calcium, magnesium, ammonium, phosphate or uric acid.

The way to prevent kidney stones:

* Drinking enough water to make 2 to 2.5 litres of urine per day.
* A diet low in protein, nitrogen and sodium intake.
* Restriction of oxalate-rich foods and maintaining an adequate intake of dietary calcium is recommended. There is equivocal evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of stone formation, though calcium citrate appears to carry the lowest, if any, risk.
* Taking drugs such as thiazides, potassium citrate, magnesium citrate and allopurinol depending on the cause of stone formation.
* Depending on the stone formation disease, vitamin B-6 and orthophosphate supplements may be helpful, although these treatments are generally reserved for those with Hyperoxaluria. Cellulose supplements have also shown potential for reducing kidney stones caused by hypercalciuria (excessive urinary calcium) although today other means are generally used as cellulose therapy is associated with significant side effects.

Mineral water usually only contains trace amounts of minerals, so it is not generally thought to cause kidney stones. What is more likely to be a trigger for kidney stones is dehydration from not drinking enough water.

depends on the mineral content. too much of certain minerals and u get adverse effects, like kidney stones. usually though u have to be pretty dependent on mineral water to get a dose capable of causing harm. then again some mineral water types haves too much to be safe in even moderate use.

A study conducted in South Africa found that "mineral water containing calcium and magnesium deserves to be considered as a possible therapeutic or prophylactic agent in calcium oxalate kidney stone disease".

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.
