One of the reasons for increased acid can be kidney dysfunction however it is not necessarily the reason. If the increase in uric acid turns into gout and uric acid starts to crystallise you will need to keep an eye on the kidney as it can also be damaged by uric acid crystals.

The kidneys are responsible for the removal of the majority of Uric acid from the body. so a reduction in kidney function can be related with this. however this is not necessarily the root of the problem if there is a problem.

Can you get kidney stones 3 times 1 year?

Being a sufferer of kidney stones myself, I know that, if the stones are not causing blockage, then it is perfectly safe and un-harmful to the kidney to have three stones a year. However, if the stones are trying to pass at the same time, or are causing blockage, then a problem may occur and you should consult your doctor immediately to assess the problem.
