[Dan in Pasadena]

Hey guys with exeprience, a question. How inherited is the tendency to have these? My Dad passed one or more when he was younger than I am now. I am 53 and have never had any kidney stones....is it likely I would still experience my first one?

For what its worth, it seems I take after my mother in terms of physical issues. My Dad had a number of cardiac events and a stroke leading to his eventual death at 66 after an initial massive heart attack at age 46. I have low cholestrol, low BP, I've been tested numerous times and have had scans indicating ZERO arterial plaque...which my doctor likened to winning the lotto for my family history. I am not a workout nut. I'm active, relatively(?) trim and always a non-smoker but still a bit overweight.
