Is it possible for a 20-year-old to have a kidney stone?
My friend got a CAT-Scan a little while ago, after being admitted to the hospital with intense stomach pains. Now they are saying that he may have a kidney stone. Which is weird. Because about three weeks ago, his father passed a kidney stone. His case was quite phenomenal because his stone was passed within 4 hours.

Sure, the youngest our practice has seen is a THREE-year-old female. It is NOT phenomenal to pass a stone in four hours. It depends how large the stone is and where the stone is located, the anatomy of the patient, and multiple other factors. She could have a kidney stone in her kidney for YEARS and never have it cause a problem – in other words, just HAVING a stone is not really a problem. It is when the stone moves and blocks the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder in the ureter that pain is caused.
Absolutely, a 20 year old can have a kidney stone!
What happens is little, bitty cracks can form in the kidneys, and little bits of minerals (like calcium) can get through, forming dangerous and extremley painful stones!
Yes is possible, anyone can have kidney stone. Make sure you drink lots of water everyday.

uhm… what is a kidney stone? sorry for my ignorance
Actually there is no specification like that. But most of the times, kidney stones are most prevalent between the mid twenties and mid forties. The sedentary lifestyle actually plays a major role in the production of the most common types of stone. Drink lots of water and try and exercise on a regular basis. Avoid foods that contain oxalate, an acid responsible for about 85% of stones.
