There are different types of kidney
stones which can be produced in the body. The most common is composed
of calcium and oxalate crystals and accounts for 80% of all kidney
stones. The scientific name for elevated levels of oxalates in the
urine is called Hyperoxaluria and is considered one of the most
important pre-cursers for the formation of stones.
For calcium stones, the physician may order thiazide diuretics or
phosphate-containing preparations. In addition, in hyperparathyroid
patients, remotion of all or part of the parathyroid glands situated in
the neck aids forestall further stone developing.
Is it possible to live a healthy lifestyle in the 21st century? You
might be surprised how simple it can be! For the most part, you are in
control of your health. The following is a list of Dos and Don'ts for
Treating Kidney Stones with your Diet!
One of the most practical way of preventing and avoiding kidney stones
is through a diet modification. This diet modification should involve
fiber, protein, calcium and sodium. Experts say that by increasing
fiber intake and decreasing protein intake during your meals, there are
greater chances of being spared from kidney stones. People who are
prone to kidney stones should decrease the amounts of calcium in their
diets too.
Idiopathic hypercalciuria can be helped by reduction of sodium intake
(low salt intake) and by the use of a thiazide diuretic. Reduction of
calcium intake is not recommended unless it is very high, as it may
lead to a negative overall calcium balance and reduction of bone mass
which ultimately makes bones weaker, also reduction of calcium intake
causes increased oxalate absorption and excretion.
Distilled Water! If you have the option of drinking distilled water, do
it! Distilled water is water without any bacteria, viruses, heavy
metals or impurities. Drinking 'pure' water will help prevent kidney
stones while flushing out your system.
Kidney stone pain usually originates around your back or side

(possible blood); persistent stomach aches; nausea; gagging; vomit;
fever; chills; and possible need to urinate more often.
