Prevention of Kidney Stone

People can help prevent kidney stones by making changes in fluid intake and, depending on the type of kidney stone, changes in consumption of sodium, animal protein, calcium, and oxalate. Drinking enough fluids each day is the best way to help prevent most types of kidney stones. Health care providers recommend that a person drink 2 to 3 liters of fluid a day. People with cystine stones may need to drink even more. Though water is best, other fluids may also help prevent kidney stones, such as citrus drinks. Recommendations based on the specific type of kidney stone include the following: Calcium Oxalate Stones reducing sodium reducing animal protein, such as meat, eggs, and fish getting enough calcium from food or taking calcium supplements with food avoiding foods high in oxalate, such as rhubarb, beets, okra, spinach, Swiss chard, sweet potatoes, nuts, wheat bran, tea, chocolate and soy products. Calcium Phosphate Stones reducing sodium reducing animal protein getting enough calcium from food or taking calcium supplements with food Uric Acid Stones limiting animal protein
