Paediatrician Warns Parents After Shocking Discovery in Teen

Published on: Jan. 31, 2026, 1 a.m. | Source: The Indian Express

A 16-year-old girl’s routine health checkup recently revealed a "shocking" case of incidental kidney stones, despite her having no major symptoms beyond occasional stomach pain. Pediatrician Dr. Keerti Kulkarni and nephrologist Dr. Nikhil Bhasin emphasize that chronic dehydration is the primary culprit, as low water intake leads to highly concentrated urine that allows minerals to crystallize into stones. This case serves as a critical warning for parents to monitor teen hydration habits, as many adolescents swap plain water for sugary drinks or avoid drinking during school hours, leading to silent stone formation that often goes unnoticed until routine imaging or severe pain occurs.
