DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PATIENTS WITH RENAL/ KIDNEY STONES

Kidney stones are a very common occurrence among the general population. Low intake of water and a tendency to form stones is one of the commonest causes of their formation.

Depending on the underlying pathology the kidney stones can be of various varieties such as calcium oxalate (most common type), uric acid, struvite, cystine, or fibrin deposit type (the last two are a rarer variety), etc.

They might be either symptomatic or asymptomatic depending on size, speed of formation, location (a smaller stone in the ureter would become symptomatic faster than a bigger one in the pelvis of kidney), or type (c oxalate stones have a tendency to cause haematuria while struvite stones are ass with chronic infection), etc.

Experience has shown that these are most easily amenable to homeopathic treatment. However along with treatment during acute and then constitutional treatment, these cases need to be advised in relation to diet and lifestyle, as the patient’s lifestyle also plays a major role in the formation of these stones.

Following is an easily comprehensible list of advice that patients can follow to walk towards a goal of stone-free life.
