Kidney stones can give intolerable pain. According to the research done by University of Texas, more people will suffer from this problem. The research led by Tom Brikowski showed that the problem of kidney stones could rise by 30 percent in American population by 2050.

The number of kidney stone patients can rise from five to fifteen percent in the northern U.S. Border States. The reason behind this increase is the increasing temperature due to global warming.

The researchers compared kidney stone rates with UN forecasts of temperature. They concluded that with the increase in temperature due to global warming, the cases of kidney stones will also increase. The findings from the research showed that the region known as the "kidney stone belt" in the southeast United States will also expand.

Sometimes dissolved minerals in urine accumulate to form Kidney stones. Mostly kidney stones happen due to inadequate intake of water. These can also happen due to excessive loss of water from body due to hot temperature. Kidney stones can be of different sizes. Sometimes the kidney stone pass out along with urine without creating any major problem.

Dr. Ross Morton, a nephrologist at Kingston General Hospital in Kingston, explained the reason behind this connection. He said that the volume of urine passed by a person determines the occurrence of kidney stones.

Hence large amount of urine leads to less chances of kidney stones.

He added, "The hotter it is the more likely you are to sweat, and the lower urine volume you're going to have, so I presume that's the basis for what they're saying ... and it makes some inherent sense."
