How Kidney stones are formed

• Kidney stones are formed due to supersaturation
  of urine. This leads to crystal formation and
  these further aggregate to form a kidney stone.
• The formation of kidney stone starts at the tip
  of calyces. The natural history of kidney stones
  is, that either they grow at the site or they
  pass out into the pelvicalyceal system, through
  the ureter into the bladder and then out through
  the urethra.

Role Of Diet in Kidney Stones

• If some abnormality is picked up in the metabolic
  evaluation of kidney stone patient then specific
  diets as prescribed by the nutritional dietitian
  are required.
• If no abnormality is picked up in the metabolic
  evaluation of the kidney stone patient, the
  instructions are
• To drink enough fluid in a day so as to aim for a
  urinary output of 2.5 to 3 liters in 24hrs.
• To eat more than five serving of fruits and
  vegetables daily.
• Eat Balanced meals and maintain appropriate
  weight.

A kidney stone patient should be aware of certain
facts

• Excessive refined, carbohydrate, caffeine or
  alcohol intake increases the calcium in the urine
  and alcoholics also have increased uric acid.
• Excessive salt intake increases the calcium in
  urine and decreases the oxalates.

• Low fluid intake causes high urinary
  supersaturation.
• Low intake of fruits and vegetables decreases
  citrate in the urine and produces acidic urine
  more conducive for stone formation.
