Kidney stones cause constipation in people who develop them, through pain, dehydration, or medication.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that kidney stones cause constipation in people who develop them, through pain, dehydration, or medication?

Partly. One case report lists persistent constipation among symptoms accompanying hyperparathyroidism with recurrent kidney stones, while a large NHANES cross-sectional study found no significant association between chronic constipation and renal stones, and two reviews attribute both constipation and kidney stones to calcium supplements rather than stones causing constipation. The evidence covers only fragments of the claim and does not establish the proposed causal pathway.
