Kidney Stones | Dr. Mudit Maheshwari | MHPB

greetings everyone I'm Dr mudat maheswari consultant urologist and renal transplant surgeon at manipal hospital Baner one of the frequently asked questions by patients are the dietary recommendations to avoid renal Stones so the common risk factors of renal Stones include dehydration high intake of salt and and low intake of dietary calcium one of the commonest misconception is that because renal stones are made up of calcium diet rich in calcium or dietary supplementation of calcium are somehow associated with renal Stones however this is contrary to the available evidence the prevention of renal Stones follow two guidelines increasing the amount of urine to dilute it as much as possible and decreasing the constituents of urine which cause renal Stone disease so the recommendations to prevent renal Stone include increasing amount of water to approximately 2.5 to 3 L of water per day decreasing the amount of salt to 5 G per day normal dietary intake of calcium avoidance of carbonated beverages and intake of citrus fruits like like lemon cranberry apart from that certain foods are associated with specific type of stones for example calcium stones are associated with intake of oxalate rich foods so these foods which includes potatoes spinach nuts rhab beetroot and I'm sorry to add chocolates and black tea these should be avoided in cases of ringal stone one of the strategies is to boil the vegetables which decreases the amount of oxalates by as much as 50% also uric acid stones are caused due to intake of high purine diet so these foods which includes animal protein like animal meat Seafood spinach and high fructose syrup these should be avoided in cases of uric acid Stones thank you [Music]
