Diet

⑴ Calcium oxalate stones: A low-calcium and low-oxalate diet is recommended.

Wheat bran bread and rice bran in bran foods have the same effect and are effective for recurrent hypercalcemic urinary stones. Vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 deficiency increases urinary oxalic acid, so foods rich in these vitamins should be increased, such as cereals, dried fruits, nuts, etc.

⑵ Calcium phosphate stones and ammonium magnesium phosphate stones: The low-calcium diet is the same as that for calcium oxalate stones. Among low-phosphorus foods, it is advisable to eat less meat, fish and bone soup. ⑶ Urinary stones: Protein intake should be limited, and the total daily protein intake should be between 48-80 grams (0.8-1.0 g/kg/day). Generally, leafy vegetables contain about 10 grams of protein per catty, lean meat contains about 10 grams of protein per 50 grams, and cereals contain 35-60 grams of protein per catty. Increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits contain vitamin B1 and vitamin C. Their final metabolites in the body are alkaline.
