Even Urologists Get Kidney Stones: An Essential Guide To Kidney Stone Treatment and Prevention

Very helpful information, gonna have to change the foods I eat , avoid the high -oxalate foods and trade off for the moderate and low oxalate foods & drinks , kidney stones suck , the pain & laser procedure to zap them stones

This goes into great detail on kidney stones and what one should eat (and not eat) to avoid them. It held my interest, especially since I have the most common kidney stone. Hint: don’t eat high oxalate foods. I should have had this information many years ago to avoid the pain I experienced.

As my surgeon pre pandemic Dr Goldfischer did a great jobHe kidded about his book going in to surgery so I got it and read it during lockdownLearned a lot and recommended it and him to friendsAnd I definitely learned new things and have been dealing with stones for almost 35 years

You wouldn't think a book about kidney stones would be readable by lay people OR funny, but this book is both. Dr. Goldfischer does a great job of helping readers understand how kidney stones form, who's at risk for kidney stones, and tips for prevention of a recurrence--or prevention of getting kidney stones at all. With brief sidebars about "celebrity stoners" (famous people who have gotten kidney stones) and topics like what to expect during and after a kidney stone attack, it's a comprehensive guide to all things kidney stones. Yes, this book is expensive, but it's well worth the price.

I was diagnosed with kidney stones and need to learn about them and especially how to prevent having more. This book was written by a medical doctor who himself ended up with kidney stones. It has good information that is clearly presented so non medical people can understand what is going on within their body.

one of my favorite books on the subject

This book didn’t bring anything new to my knowledge of kidney stones.

Very easy to read and should be an assigned ready in high school biology. A must for even middle school science student to understand the correlation and function of the kidney to your body.
