High oxalic acid food
A large accumulation of oxalic acid in the body is one of the factors leading to oxalic acid stones. Foods with high oxalic acid include spinach, beans, grapes, cocoa, tea, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, plums, bamboo shoots, etc. People generally love these foods.
Countermeasures: In addition to eating less high-oxalic acid foods, proper supplement of vitamin B6 tablets is conducive to the removal of oxalic acid.
High protein food
Frequent and excessive intake of high-protein food will increase the calcium, oxalic acid and uric acid in the kidney and urine. If the excess calcium, oxalic acid and uric acid cannot be discharged from the body in time, it will lead to kidney stones and ureteral stones.
Countermeasures: daily protein intake is 1~1.2 (g/kg body weight). The eggs and milk consumed for breakfast or dinner basically meet the body's demand for protein in a day. It is particularly important to properly reduce the intake of animal foods to prevent the occurrence of kidney stones.
High sugar food
Although sugar is an important nutrient for the body, high-sugar diet can increase the risk of urinary calculus by improving the excretion of urinary calcium, especially lactose, which can promote calcium absorption and lead to the accumulation of calcium oxalate in the body to form kidney calculus. The more sugar intake, the higher the risk of stone formation. In addition, excessive sugar intake will lead to obesity, which will increase the risk of kidney stones.
Countermeasures: Try to eat less or no pure sugar foods, such as white sugar, brown sugar, or drinks and desserts containing these sugars. The staple food should be mixed in size.
High fat food
Meat, especially fat, is rich in fat. Fat will reduce the calcium that can be combined in the intestine and increase the absorption of oxalate. Especially when sweating more, drinking less water and urinating less, it may accelerate the formation of kidney stones.
Countermeasures: Eat less fat and control the daily edible oil at 25 grams. Drink more water in summer. When eating oily and watery food, you should also drink more water to promote urination, dilute the composition of urine, prevent oxalate and other components from "clumping", and reduce the risk of kidney stones.
High-purine food
Animal viscera, seafood, broth, peanuts, beans, spinach, etc., all contain more purine components. After purine enters the metabolism of the body, its final product is uric acid. Uric acid can promote oxalate precipitation in urine. Excessive consumption of purine-rich foods at one time will lead to purine metabolism disorder and oxalate deposition in urine to form urinary stones.
Countermeasures: Patients with gout and uric acid stones should eat less high-purine foods.
High sodium food
When the sodium content in diet is high, it will increase the excretion of calcium in urine. If calcium combines with oxalic acid and uric acid, it will increase the chance of stone formation.
Countermeasures: The daily salt intake should be controlled within 6g. Patients with kidney stones should avoid high salt foods, such as ham, sausage, salted eggs, pickled melon, fermented bean curd, sand tea sauce, etc.
