The general treatment method for kidney stones is to ensure adequate drinking: it is best to drink magnetized water with less minerals, so that the daily urine volume exceeds 2000ml, which can dilute urine, reduce crystal precipitation, flush the urinary tract and expel tiny stones. Second, the dietary composition should be determined according to the type of stone and the acidity and alkalinity of urine. For calcium oxalate stones, high-oxalate foods such as spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, asparagus, nuts, tea, cocoa, chocolate, etc. should be avoided. And foods high in calcium such as milk, cheese, etc. For idiopathic hypercalcemia, calcium intake should be limited to reduce urinary calcium content; for recurrent oxalate stones without hypercalcemia, a low-calcium diet is not required.

The most conservative treatment for kidney stones is drug dissolution, but this method is only suitable for a small number of small stones.
