Patient's question:
On March 30th, a urine test showed no blood but slightly elevated red blood cells in the sediment, along with 13 calcium oxalate crystals. Later, an ultrasound revealed 0.4 cm kidney stones in the left kidney. I started taking medication, drinking a lot of water, and jumping rope. After April 4th, I went to a major hospital for another ultrasound, which showed normal kidneys without any crystals. Now, on April 26th, a morning urine test revealed 2+ blood in the urine and 128 red blood cells in the sediment, with normal kidney function. An ultrasound showed a 3 mm strong echo point with a shadow in the middle-lower pole of the right kidney's collecting system, and another 3 mm strong echo point with a shadow in the upper pole of the left kidney's collecting system. There is mild pain in the right kidney area.Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with kidney stones can drink more water. Excessive nutrition should be limited according to the need for calories.Suggestions:
Maintain a daily protein intake of 75-90g to maintain energy balance and reduce the risk of urinary stone formation. For patients with familial hyperuricosuria or gout, protein intake should be limited to 1g/kg body weight. Control refined sugar intake. Avoid foods such as spinach and animal organs.
