Most likely doesn't drink enough or is possibly cathing unhygenically. They'd be the two most common reasons.

I totally agree with russ. Your friend is not having enough water/liquids to drink. If he was he would not be having problems with the kidney stones or even the UTI. Advise him to take the water issue seriously or if you are there with him make sure he takes lots and lots of it - you will notice the difference in no time.

Here is a really good website I use a lot for health issues. Hopefully they can answer your questions to this problem.

LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING----WOW----WHAT A RIDE!!!
