Painful but not life-threatening, they can be caused by taking certain medications and supplements. If you suffer from repeated urinary tract infections, you may be prone to developing kidney stones; a poor diet and chronic dehydration can also put you at heightened risk. But did you know that your blood type can also impact your chance of having kidney stones? A Swedish study published in April 2021 found that your blood type may make you more likely to get a kidney stone. Read on to find out whether your blood type makes you more vulnerable to kidney stones, and how to lessen your risk of this unpleasant condition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THIS NEXT: <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/itchy-dry-skin-kidney-disease-news\/\" target=\"_blank\">If You Notice This on Your Skin, Get Your Kidneys Checked, Experts Warn<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"101391\" class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-101391\" src=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"Man with Kidney Cancer Diseases That Affect Men\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer-1.jpg, 329&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer-2.jpg, 505&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 768w\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-101391\" src=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"Man with Kidney Cancer Diseases That Affect Men\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer-1.jpg, 329&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/man-with-kidney-cancer-2.jpg, 505&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 768w\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Symptoms of kidney stones include <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/kidney-stones\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20355755\" target=\"_blank\">sharp, severe pain<\/a> below your ribs, in your side, and back, says the Mayo Clinic.
