You can prevent the formation of kidney stones if you follow a few simple recommendations. Urologist Vigen Malkhasyan spoke about this, he is quoted by Gazeta.ru.
The doctor explained that urolithiasis is dangerous, as it can lead to a complete loss of function of the kidney blocked by the stone. Against the background of a violation of the outflow of urine, there is a threat that an infection will join, purulent inflammation will begin, and this is fraught with loss of a kidney or even death.
The urologist gave several recommendations to prevent the formation of kidney stones. So, he advises to drink more water and monitor its composition. It’s also important to limit your intake of animal protein, as it contributes to acidic urine, the doctor added. He also urged to limit salt in the diet, since its large amount increases the excretion of calcium, the main component of urinary stones.
In addition, the doctor recommended increasing the amount of fiber-containing foods and foods that serve as a source of citrate – fruits in the diet, as well as ensuring the intake of calcium in the body. It is also important to increase the level of physical activity and systematically undergo preventive examinations, the urologist noted.
