Diet or food for kidney stone patients

Improper diet is one of main causes of Calculus Diseases. Metabolic disorder in body, caused by long-term unscientific diet, induces Kidney Stone disease. So, it’s important to keep a healthy dietary habit in our daily life. For Kidney Stone patients, some foods are introduced as follows:
1. In daily life, more water and more exercise can benefit Renal Stone patients, which help renal calculi to be discharged outside body. Meat intake should be limited, specially, livers of animals. During treatment, Renal Stone patients should eat less beef, mutton and foods with rich vitamin C which will produce oxalate acid in its metabolic progress, leading to stones forming.
2. Salt and vegetables containing oxalate should also be eaten less, because oxalate will combine with calcium in body to produce calcium oxalate which will deposit in body to form stones. Green vegetable contains much oxalate, especially, spinach with the highest oxalate. Excessive depositing of oxalate acid causes Renal Stone. Such high oxalate foods contain spinach, beans, grapes, cocoas, tea, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, plums, bamboo shoots and so on. Research found 725.6mg oxalate acid is contained in every 200g spinach. If a patient eat up 200g spinach once,20 to 25 milligrams oxalate acid will be excreted along in urine after 8 hours, which is equal to the average quantity of oxalate acid discharged by a normal person in 24 hours.
3. What’s more, purine metabolic disorder, excessive fat intake, sugar in body increasing, excessive protein and so on are all the main causes of Renal Stone disease.
4. Besides, drinking less water is also a main inducement. More water should be drunk after taking exercises and sweating especially in hot seasons, so as to prevent urine from being concentrated excessively and to prevent crystal in urine from depositing. Fresh water is still the perfect choice to complement body moisture although juice, soup and milk can be supplementary choice.
5. Renal Stone patients can’t drink milk before sleeping in night, because milk contains much calcium which is contained largely in renal stone. The most dangerous factor, which causes calculi, is the sudden growth of calcium in urine in a short time. 2 to 3 hours after drinking milk is the peak period that calcium is discharged through kidneys. If patients are sleeping then, it will quicken the forming of calculi, because urine will concentrate and much calcium will have to be discharged through kidney.
6. Furthermore, Renal Stone may be caused by drinking more and less water. Renal Stone patients should pay attention on proper food pairings in daily life instead of just eating one kind of food for a long time. Or, besides of malnutrition, Renal Stone may be caused when malnutrition is serious. So, for your health, please keep a proper and healthy diet.
