Patient's question:
Recurrent kidney stones with fever, lower back pain - what to do, fever of 40 degrees not subsiding, feeling coldDoctor's answer:
Since the cause of kidney stones is not yet fully clear, it is important to pay attention to the following points in your diet:① Drink plenty of water, 2000-3000 milliliters per day, aiming to produce over 2000 milliliters of urine.
② Limit the intake of meat, especially animal organs.
③ Some foods should be consumed in moderation, such as spinach, potatoes, asparagus, carrots, pickled vegetables, hairtail, strong tea, and instant coffee.
During the treatment of kidney stones, adhere to the principle of "five reductions and one increase" in diet.
1. Eat less beef and lamb: Because beef and lamb contain high levels of purine, which easily breaks down into uric acid, a component of kidney stones.
2. Eat less foods rich in vitamin C: Because vitamin C metabolizes in the body to produce oxalate, which promotes the formation of stones.
Suggestions:
3. Eat less calcium-rich foods: Because calcium is one of the main components of kidney stones.
4. Eat less salt: Because salt and calcium have a synergistic effect in the body and can interfere with the metabolism of drugs used to prevent and treat kidney stones.
5. Eat less oxalate-rich vegetables: Because oxalates combine with calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate, which can deposit as stones. Green vegetables contain high levels of oxalates, especially spinach, which has the highest content. Therefore, people with kidney stones should eat less spinach, but it is okay to take ejiao.
