    The most risk factor for stone formation is a sudden increase in calcium concentration in urine for a short time. After drinking milk for 2 to 3 hours before bedtime, it is the peak of calcium excretion in the milk through the kidneys. At this time, it is in a sleep state, urine is concentrated, calcium is more through the kidneys, and is susceptible to stones. Therefore, patients with kidney stones should not drink milk before going to bed.
