Kidney stones are formations of different shape, size, physical properties and chemical composition. We distinguish the following types of stones: urate, oxalate, phosphate, cystine, xanthine, etc.
The most important factors for the formation of kidney stones are: a violation of the protective substances of urine that support salts and in a concentrated solution, a violation of the density of urine with a greater or lesser amount of dissolved substances in it, which affect the mucous membrane, changes in the reaction of urine in an acidic or alkaline direction; stasis of urine.
Diet for patients with urate stones
This diet gives very good results. Patients should eat a diet low in uric acid, eat more plant foods (potatoes, vegetables and fruits) and drink slightly alkaline mineral water. Foods that contain nucleoproteins (complex proteins), from which uric acid is formed, kidneys, spleen, liver, eggs, brain, egg yolk, caviar, various fatty fish (salmon, anchovy, herring), etc. are prohibited. Legumes (beans, lentils, peas, soybeans) and mushrooms should not be taken from plant foods. All types of vegetables and fruits are allowed, especially those that have a diuretic effect, such as strawberries, melons, watermelons, water pears, pomegranate juice; milk and milk products; limited amount of meat and fresh river fish (boiled); egg white.
Diet for patients with oxalate stones
Dietary nutrition for patients with oxalate stones is similar to that for urate stones. And here we have a shift in the reaction of urine and blood in an acidic direction, and therefore alkaline foods should be given. Above all, potatoes are recommended, which are carriers of alkalis and especially because of their potassium content. Grapes, oranges, lemons are also rich in potassium salts. For the faster release of oxalic acid from the body, the following fruits and vegetables are given: carrots, fresh cabbage, strawberries, apples, quinces, dogwoods, gooseberries, parsley roots, celery, pear, decoction of the bark of a number of fruits.
Diet for patients with phosphate stones
Dietary nutrition in patients who have a tendency to form phosphate stones should help to acidify the alkaline urine. The food should not contain products that are rich in calcium, and avoid foods that excite the nervous system, such as alcohol, spicy spices, etc.
The following foods are allowed: decoction of linden blossom, mint or chamomile; White bread; butter; cream; egg white; meat and fish of any kind; pasta products; pumpkin, melons, watermelons, cucumbers; strawberries; apples; lean meat fish stocks and sauces, and also peanuts, hazelnuts and walnuts.
Forbidden foods: milk, dairy products, egg white; vegetables fruits, green leafy vegetables (rich in calcium), potatoes, carrots.
