The Mission of the Kidney Stone Collaborative

Thank you so much for visiting with our community.
We know that kidney stones are painful,
unpredictable, and life-changing.
We want to interrupt this cycle,
which is why we formed this foundation
to build a strong community that connects
and shares and educates.
Our collective path carries a wealth of experiences
that we can use to help ease the burden that stones cause.
We believe research is one of the keys
to unlocking better care for everyone
affected by kidney stones.
Think of it like upgrading the tools
doctors use for treatment.
We can understand why stones form.
We can find new drugs to stop stones even before they grow.
We can develop more precise surgery and ease recovery,
but this research won’t happen without your help.
Every dollar you or your friends
or your family donates helps to develop better treatments,
can prevent repeat kidney stones and improve care.
Join us today and let’s pave the way for a future
free from kidney stones.
