Doctor's answer:
Kidney stones are a very common disease, where "stones" form in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder. They not only cause pain and hematuria but can also lead to urinary tract infections. If the "stones" block the urinary tract for a long time, it can cause hydronephrosis and even damage kidney function. Hello, it is recommended that you should not do 1. Limit the intake of foods high in oxalate: Most oxalate in urine comes from the body's metabolism, while a small amount comes from food. However, it is still important to reduce the absorption of oxalate by the intestines and avoid eating foods rich in oxalate, such as chocolate and coffee. 2. Control the intake of animal protein: Excessive intake of animal protein can increase the excretion of oxalate and calcium in the urine, reduce the excretion of citrate, lower urine pH, and increase the risk of kidney stone formation. Therefore, it is important to control the excessive intake of animal protein in the diet. 3. Avoid high-salt foods: High-salt foods can increase urinary calcium and reduce the excretion of citrate, thereby increasing the incidence of kidney stones. Therefore, when cooking, it is advisable to use less salt, eat less pickled vegetables, cured meat, and fried foods to maintain a light diet. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of kidney stones. [It is recommended to reduce the intake of calcium in the diet to prevent the recurrence of kidney stones. The dietary structure should be adjusted according to the composition of the stones to determine the diet for preventing stones. 1. For uric acid stones, a low-purine diet should be adopted, and for cystine stones, a low-methionine diet should be adopted. Fruits and vegetables can make the urine alkaline, which is better for preventing uric acid and cystine stones. Meat foods make the urine acidic, which is better for preventing infection stones. 2. For phosphate stones, a low-calcium, low-phosphorus diet should be adopted. For calcium-containing kidney stones, it is advisable to avoid high-calcium, high-salt, high-oxalate, high-animal-protein, high-animal-fat, and high-sugar diets. 3. Adopt a high-fiber diet. It is generally believed that patients with kidney stones should eat less salt and animal protein, persist in drinking a lot of water, and maintain a urine output of 2000~3000 milliliters per day. This not only helps prevent the recurrence of kidney stones but also ensures the intake of calcium, which is beneficial to other aspects of the body.]
