Many diseases are closely related to daily diet. If you can live a moderate diet sometimes, even if you have kidney calculi's disease, you can slow down the growth of stones and even make them shrink, dissolve and excrete. (1) Drink plenty of boiled water: Drinking plenty of water will dilute urine, reduce the concentration of calcium ions and oxalate, and will not form calcium oxalate stones. Studies have shown that the incidence of kidney calculi can be reduced by 86% if urine volume increases by 50%. (2) Reasonable calcium supplementation, especially dietary calcium supplementation. Why do kidney calculi patients need calcium supplementation? 1. Calcium supplementation can combine with oxalic acid contained in vegetables in the gastrointestinal tract to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which will be excreted with feces, reducing the absorption of some oxalic acid by the stomach and excreted by the kidney, thus reducing the probability of kidney calculi. The second is the "acid-base balance theory" put forward by Japanese scholars. That is, when the blood is acidic, it is easy to form stones. When alkaline, inhibit the formation of stones. When calcium is deficient, the blood is acidic, and reasonable calcium supplementation makes the blood alkaline, which is beneficial to inhibit the formation of stones. (3) Limit sugar intake, because a recent study by American scientists shows that eating high-sugar foods will increase the risk of kidney calculi's disease. (4) Eat less foods with high oxalate content: Foods with high oxalate content include tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, beets and chocolates. Excessive oxalate intake is also one of the main reasons for kidney calculi. (5) Eat less soy products. The content of oxalate and phosphate in soybean food is very high, which can be fused with calcium in kidney to form stones. (6) Drink milk carefully before going to bed. People with poor sleep, drinking milk before going to bed will help them sleep. However, after sleep, urine volume decreased and concentrated, and various tangible substances in urine increased. 2~3 hours after drinking milk is the peak of calcium excretion through the kidney. Calcium suddenly increases through the kidney in a short time, which is easy to form stones. Therefore, kidney calculi patients should not drink milk with high calcium content before going to bed. (7) Don't take too much cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, otherwise it will promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by intestinal membrane and suddenly increase the excretion of calcium and phosphorus in urine, which will inevitably lead to precipitation and easy formation of stones. (8) Eat more black fungus. Auricularia auricula is rich in various minerals and trace elements, which can produce a strong chemical reaction to various stones, so that stones can be stripped, differentiated, dissolved and excreted. Kidney calculi calculus is caused by imbalance of colloid and crystal metabolism, which is related to infection, nutrition metabolism disorder, foreign body in urinary system, urine stasis, geography and climate. ※. Men are more prone to this disease than women. People over 30 are more likely to suffer from this disease than young people. It is rare for children to get this disease. The pain may last for several days, and it will cause severe renal colic during the stone removal process. The painful part is kidney calculi's position. When there are few stones, there are no obvious symptoms, which can only be found by X-ray. When the stone is large, ipsilateral low back pain, renal colic and hematuria may occur. Kidney calculi occasionally gets stuck in the ureter, blocking the urine flow on one side. Kidney calculi's complication is acute pyelonephritis, which can lead to chronic renal failure in severe cases. The recurrence rate in kidney calculi is relatively high. Once you have a stone, you will grow a second stone. Changing living habits can prevent and reduce the growth and occurrence of stones. There are several types of stones in kidney calculi. Once your doctor confirms your stone type, the following methods will help reduce the chance of recurrence. Family treatment measures ● Drink plenty of water. ※. No matter what kind of stones you have, the most important prevention method is to increase water intake. Water can dilute urine and prevent high concentration of salt and minerals from accumulating into stones. The appropriate amount of drinking water is 2 liters of urine a day, which is enough. If you work in the hot sun all day, you need to drink 2 gallons of water. ● Supplementing cellulose and eating rice bran can prevent stones. ● Controlling calcium intake% of stones are formed by calcium or calcium-containing products. If your last calculus was mainly composed of calcium, you should pay attention to your calcium intake. If you are taking nutritional supplements, you need to consult your doctor first. The second is to check the daily intake of high-calcium foods, including dairy products such as milk, cheese and cream. Milk and antacids may produce kidney calculi. Check your stomach medicine. Some common antacids contain a lot of calcium. If you have calcium stones and you are taking antacids, you should check the composition description of this drug to determine whether it contains high calcium. If the calcium content is high, it is necessary to switch to other drugs. ● Don't eat foods rich in oxalate. About 60% stones belong to calcium oxalate stones. Therefore, we should limit the intake of foods rich in oxalic acid, including beans, beets, celery, chocolate, grapes, green peppers, parsley, spinach, strawberries and cabbage family vegetables. Also avoid alcohol, caffeine, tea, chocolate, dried figs, mutton, stone fruits, green peppers, black tea, poppy seeds and so on. People who exercise and don't exercise tend to deposit calcium in the blood. Exercise helps calcium flow to the bones to which it belongs. Don't wait for stones to form all day, you should go for a walk or exercise outdoors. ● Hot compress, cupping and electrotherapy in kidney area can relieve pain. Frequent hot baths are also good for removing stones. ● Eating foods rich in vitamin A is necessary to maintain the health of the inner wall of urethra, and also helps to prevent the recurrence of stones. Healthy adults need to take 5000 units (Iu) of vitamin A every day. A cup of carrot can provide 155 Iu of vitamin A. Other foods rich in vitamin A include broccoli, apricot fruit, cantaloupe, pumpkin and beef liver. Vitamin A is toxic at high doses. Therefore, the doctor's consent should be obtained before vitamin A supplementation. Note that kidney calculi's intake of protein is directly related to protein's intake. Protein is easy to cause uric acid, calcium and phosphorus in urine, leading to the formation of stones. If you have ever had calcium stones, you should pay special attention to whether you have taken too much protein, especially if you have a history of uric acid is too high or cysteamine stones. Limit eating180g of high-protein food every day, including meat, cheese, chicken and fish. ● Eat less salt. If there are calcium stones, reduce salt intake. You should reduce your daily salt intake to 2-3 grams. ● Supplement nutrients ① Magnesium oxide or magnesium chloride 500 mg per day. Reduce the absorption of calcium. Studies have found that taking magnesium every day can reduce the recurrence rate by 90%. Because both magnesium and calcium can combine with oxalic acid. But unlike calcium oxalate, magnesium oxalate is unlikely to form painful stones. ② Vitamin B6 10 mg twice a day. When combined with magnesium, B6 can reduce oxalate in urine, which is a common mineral salt in kidney calculi. ③ The dosage of proteolytic enzyme should be used between meals according to the product instructions. Help digestion to be normal. ④ Vitamin A emulsion or capsule 25000IU. Treatment of urethral lining injury caused by calculus. ● If you have a history of kidney calculi or are currently suffering from kidney calculi, please avoid using L- cysteamine. This accumulation of amino acids can crystallize in the kidney, producing large stones and blocking the inside of the kidney. ● Eat more watermelons. Watermelon is a natural diuretic. Be sure to eat western food, and eat it alone, not with other foods. Watermelon has the function of cleaning the body, but it should not be eaten with other foods at the same time. ● Limit the dosage of vitamin C If it is easy to form calcium oxalate stones, it is necessary to limit the dosage of vitamin C. More than 3-4 grams per day may increase the production of oxalic acid, thus increasing the chance of stones. Do not take high-efficiency vitamin C supplements. ● Don't take too much vitamin D. Too much vitamin D may cause calcium to accumulate in various parts of the body. The daily intake of vitamin D should not exceed 400IU stipulated by RDA. ● Herbal tea ① Pyrrosia dongkui tea 30g, Malva seed 30g and Lysimachia christinae 30g, which can be decocted with water to get stones. ② Corn Stigma Tea Corn Stigma 50g, Plantaginis 20g, Radix Glycyrrhizae10g, decocted in water for 500ml-400ml, and taken after removing residues, three times a day. (3) sunflower stem 100cm, cut into 3 cm long pieces and decocted in water, daily 1 dose, for a total of 1 month. Treating calculus with blood drenching. ● Health medicated diet ① Lotus root and winter melon soup raw lotus root 500 grams, winter melon 1000 grams, washed and sliced, and decocted in water. Take it away within one day. ② Rock sugar walnut kernel 120g and stir-fried walnut kernel 120g are ground into fine powder, 60g each time, four times a day, and boiled water can soften stones. ③ 50 grams of red bean porridge, 50 grams of glutinous rice, 50 grams of red beans and 20 grams of chicken gizzard-membrane. Boil porridge with japonica rice and red beans in water, mix in chicken gizzard-membrane powder when cooked, and add appropriate amount of sugar. Take it twice a day. ④ Take 30 pieces of croaker's head fish brain stone powder and grind it into fine powder, divide it into 10 equal parts, and take it with boiling water, each time 1 part, three times a day. ⑤ Five pieces of ebony peach kernel and ebony every day, or raw walnut kernel 100g every day, and drinking plenty of water can prevent phosphate stones. ● Red flags If you have the following symptoms, please see a doctor: * The tingling starts from the side and moves to the groin. * Nausea with vomiting and sweating. * Blood in the urine.
