GOOD TO KNOW!
“My student son took antibiotics after surgery, and a urine test showed the presence of salts. Is he at risk from stone formation?” Maria.
Answered by urologist, candidate of medical sciences Vadim Kozlov.
“There is no convincing evidence that taking any medications causes the formation of stones,” explains Vadim Vladislavovich.
— Antibiotics that are used for a short course (no more than ten days) do not significantly affect the formation of stones, although some drugs, for example, gentamicin, can worsen kidney function. The lack of vitamins (hypovitaminosis) or their excess affects more. Therefore, all medications, including vitamin complexes, must be taken under the supervision of a doctor. [td]
— How to eat properly for a person who has salts in his urine?
- They have nothing to do with table salt, as some people believe. On the contrary, for urolithiasis, table salt is not contraindicated, because it is an antagonist of other salts that are found in meat products (smoked meats, sausages), and rich broth. For lovers of such foods, we recommend eating more vegetables and drinking plenty of fluids to remove oxalates. They are the most common and are the ones that usually form stones. If there is a tendency to form oxalates (this can be seen from a urine test, which shows a certain amount of salts), you need to change your diet.
- How exactly?
— Avoid products containing oxalic acid: smoked and dried fish, processed cheese, rich broths, baked goods with margarine, as well as sorrel, spinach, rhubarb, celery. Nowadays, many people are fond of green tea, but it has a high oxalate content, and stones are often formed in lovers of this drink. Black tea does not have this effect. It is important to know that dietary recommendations depend on the type of stones. That is why foods, herbs, and mineral waters are selected taking into account the salt composition of the stones.
— Is it good to drink herbal infusions?
- Yes. Many people brew and drink diuretic herbs or infusions as a preventive measure. This allows you to remove salts and prevent inflammation. Herbal remedies suppress microbes, relieve swelling, dissolve salts and help the kidneys work better. I often recommend corn silk to patients, which is easy to brew. In the morning, pour boiling water over a heaping tablespoon, and when the broth has cooled, strain and drink throughout the day. Corn silks are effective and safe: you can drink an infusion of them for a long time. This remedy also has a good effect on the liver and gall bladder, because it has a mild choleretic effect. Also useful for prevention are herbs such as knotweed, half-palm, and bearberry. You can brew and drink teas from the leaves of strawberries, mulberries, and blackberries, but they are more difficult to buy, unless you prepare them yourself.
— What fruits are good to eat?
- Any are suitable - apples, pears, plums, apricots. Unlike vegetables: With certain types of stones, you need to avoid some of them. For example, parsley and mushrooms are not recommended for phosphates; asparagus, cauliflower, and celery are not recommended for urates.
— What water is best to drink for prevention?
— Distilled, because it takes the salts onto itself. By the way, at urological resorts the water is neutral - without any particular smell or taste. But the question arises: why in practice do doctors recommend mineral water rather than distilled water? Distilled water just doesn't taste good. At home, many people prepare their own melt water, which can be considered an analogue of distilled water. This is also an acceptable option for the prevention of urological diseases.
Sometimes patients limit themselves to fluids, trying to fight, for example, swelling in the legs. But this is wrong, because it increases the concentration of salts in the urine. Kidneys are more often affected in hot regions (Central Asia), where people drink little fluid and lose a lot of it due to the heat.
To prevent urolithiasis
It is important to drink enough fluids.
Eat a varied diet, supplementing boiled or stewed meat and fish with plenty of vegetables.
If you have hypovitaminosis, then, on the recommendation of your doctor, take vitamins C, D3, magnesium and other microelements.
Dishes using margarine and cooking oil, rich broths, as well as beer, wine and spirits are not recommended. Chocolate is allowed in limited quantities.

Diet for high uric acid levels
Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stones, is a common urological disease that causes the formation of kidney stones. The causes of nephrolithiasis are not fully understood. The main importance in the development of the disease is given to changes in the colloid-mineral balance of urine, its pH, concentration, and composition. The formation of uric acid stones (urates) in the urinary tract occurs when an increased level of uric acid in the blood is combined with a constant acidic reaction of urine in the urinary tract. The basis of the disease is, first of all, a violation of purine metabolism. Due to this disorder, an excess of the end product of purine metabolism, uric acid, occurs in the body. The intake of purines from food actively contributes to the development of the disease. This is why it is very important to follow your doctor’s dietary recommendations. When treating, first of all, the doctor recommends eliminating from the diet all foods rich in puric and uric acids - mainly meat and fish. The diet for urate urolithiasis is close to the diet for gout, but in a milder version. If there is a disturbance in the metabolism of not only uric acid, but also oxalic acid, the formation of mixed type stones occurs - urate-oxalate. In this case, it is also necessary to exclude foods high in oxalic acid from the diet and limit foods containing ascorbic acid. It should be remembered that only a specialist can advise the most optimal diet, as well as drug treatment, since it is necessary to take into account the type and chemical composition of kidney stones.
Dietary recommendations for urate kidney stones A diet excluding strong meat broths, smoked foods and limiting meat, cheese, honey, and alcoholic beverages is recommended. The following products are allowed:
