But experts have said, “These lifestyles, combined with drinking less water and preferring a meat diet, can easily induce urinary stones in the summer.” In summer, due to the hot weather, the body surface sweating increased significantly, resulting in serious water loss, urine, urine contains calcium oxalate and other human metabolites concentration increased, easy to collect the formation of stones, most likely to cause kidney colic. In addition, many people like to drink cold beer and seafood to spend the summer, and beer and seafood contain high purines, which can be broken down into uric acid, is also a cause of the high incidence of kidney stones. Especially in air-conditioned rooms, the room is generally dry, water is not eliminated through sweat, but directly evaporated from the skin surface, which will also cause urine concentration.
