Kidney stones, or in medical language - calculusThese are dense formations that are formed in various cavity organs, including the kidneys.
Urinary, or kidney stones are formed in the urinary tract and chemical composition (acid residue), are divided into groups: urates, oxalates, phosphates and carbonates.
The most common are the first two types of stones.
The main features of the diet for kidney stones
Among the many factors in the formation of kidney stones, one of the main ones is nutritional features. Kidney stone formation is provoked by the abuse of salty, acidic and spicy foods, as well as the use of high-salt drinking water. As an unhealthy diet is one of the factors in the development of urolithiasis, so a proper, dietary diet promotes recovery. Only a nephrologist or dietitian can prescribe a therapeutic diet for kidney stones. It may not be the same for all patients with urolithiasis. It is carefully selected according to the chemical composition of kidney stones.
The main thing in the diet for kidney stones is to limit those substances whose metabolism differs from the norm. Alternatively, you can add to the usual diet (without exacerbation of the disease), products that neutralize the formation of stones. And yet, it is worth adhering to the rule that for each type of kidney stones there is its own diet.
Diet for kidney stones - oxaluria
Oxaluria, or the presence of oxalate kidney stones, is the most common type of urolithiasis. This disease develops on the background of a violation of mineral metabolism in the body, excretion with urine and the formation of oxalate calcium salts in the form of stones. The diet with kidney stones (oxaluria) is characterized by a decrease in the diet of foods containing oxalic acid and calcium salts. It is worth paying attention not only to the quality composition of the diet, but also to the diet. Food should be six times a day, with small portions in volume.
