kidney stones yellow urine
How do I keep from getting kidney stones or kidney infection?

I've had a history of having more than two kidney infections, when I was a kid and gastritis a year ago(I'm 21 now). Anyway I'm a coffee/pop drinker to keep alert because I'm always tired from my medications.(Not related to kidney stuff). So I made sure I got at least one bottle or one or two cups of water or gatorade/juice to prevent kidney stones. Suggestions?

Oh and when I drink caffeine I pee a lot and the urine is always light yellow to clear. Which is weird because I don't drink that much water.
by the way I'm addicted to caffeine =(

Drink Plenty of Fluids

One of the goals of preventive therapy is to keep your urine as dilute as possible. This helps to keep the substances that could potentially form a kidney stone, including calcium and oxalate, moving quickly through your urinary tract.

Try to drink at least two quarts (12 cups) of fluids a day. Water is best, although juice and other beverages can add to the total. Limit your intake of caffeine-containing beverages like coffee, tea, and cola to one or two cups a day, since caffeine acts as a diuretic, causing your body to lose fluids too quickly.

A good gauge of whether or not you are drinking enough fluids is urine color. Except for the first thing in the morning—when urine tends to be more concentrated—it should be pale in color. If your urine is dark yellow, that's an indication to drink more fluids.

If you are hesitant to drink too much during the day because you have a bladder control problem, discuss this concern with your doctor.

Points to remember:

Drink at least 12 cups of fluids each day
Limit your intake of caffeinated beverages
Your urine should be pale in color
