Diet of people with urinary calculi

summary

Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases, male is more than female, about 3 ∶ 1. Over the past 30 years, the incidence rate of upper urinary tract (kidney and ureter) stones has increased significantly in China. So what's the diet for people with urinary calculi? Now let's take a look.

Diet of people with urinary calculi

First of all, drink plenty of water without holding your urine. Don't hold your urine. Drinking more and urinating more can help bacteria, carcinogens and stone prone substances to be quickly discharged from the body, and reduce the chance of kidney and bladder damage.

Secondly, we should not eat more sugar. After taking sugar, the concentration of calcium ion in urine, oxalic acid and acidity of urine will increase. The increase of acidity of urine can make calcium urate and calcium oxalate easy to precipitate and promote the formation of urethral stones.

Finally, don't drink milk before going to bed. Because the milk contains more calcium, and most of the urethral stones contain calcium salts. The most dangerous factor for the formation of urethral calculi is the sudden increase of calcium concentration in urine for a short time.

matters needing attention

Be careful with spinach. More than 90% of urethral calculi contain calcium, while calcium oxalate calculi account for 87.5%. If the amount of oxalate in food is too much and the calcium oxalate in urine is in supersaturated state, the excess calcium oxalate crystals may precipitate from urine and form stones. In food, spinach has the highest oxalate content, and spinach is one of the vegetables that people often eat.
