<human>: Hi, I recently had a kidney stone and I just received the results from my blood/stone analyses. My parathyroid levels are normal, and all of my nutrients are in a normal range. I got to the stone analysis section, and it says that the stone is made of something called mucin. Can someone explain what this is, and how I can prevent future stones? Thanks.
<bot>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor.  Around 80 percent stones are made up of calcium, 20 percent of uric acid and there are mixed type of stones, consisting of a mixture of these two and some other forms. Much is not something you need to worry about. A metabolic stone testing consists of calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, oxalate,and a 24 hours urine calcium, phosphorus, uric acid. According to the reports, specific preventive advice is given. In general, take 12-15 glasses of liquids daily, which the best way to prevent stone recurrence.
