Surgeons in Sri Lanka Give Reasons For This Massive Kidney Stone Removed, and Heaviest on Record Ever

Surgeons in Sri Lanka removed this massive kidney stone, the largest and heaviest on record ever removed from a human.

The stone was 13.37 cm long, 10.55 cm wide, and weighed 800 grams, the weight of five baseballs or nearly two FIFA footballs. The patient recovered well.

6 things that can increase your risk of having kidney stones:

1. Dehydration: so make sure you drink enough water always.

2. Being too fat: you see that belly fat, it's the worse.

3. Having weight loss surgery: e.g. gastric bypass surgery.

4. Doing rigorous exercise under very dry weather conditions: if weather is very dry, drink loads of fluids before, during and after you exercise.

5. Other medical conditions: e.g. repeated urinary tract infections (UTI); treat your UTI promptly and adequately.

6. Eating too much salt or sugar: watch what you eat.
