[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report]Kidney stones, also known as urolithiasis, are one of the most common problems. They are metabolized by the kidneys and form hard mineral crystals in the urine, which are deposited in the kidneys and usually disappear over time. It grows bigger and bigger. In this regard, Chen Youcheng, director of the Nephrology Department of Xintai General Hospital, said that in addition to drinking plenty of water and eating to prevent it, citrus drinks can also be used. Such as: orange, grapefruit; or lemon, lime (lime) containing citric acid to prevent crystallization and stone formation.
Chen Youcheng posted on the Facebook page “Dr. Chen Youcheng Kidney Specialist”, pointing out that to prevent kidney stones, remember to drink plenty of water, which can prevent all types of stones; also pay attention to certain foods that are prone to forming certain stones, and principles must be mastered Choose your diet carefully. Studies have confirmed that the “Dexel Diet” can reduce the risk of stones; in addition, studies have also confirmed that children who are overweight will increase the risk of stones, which can be prevented through weight loss.

In addition, Chen Youcheng also introduced the four types of stones one by one, calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid and cystine, and listed different dietary restrictions according to different types of stones. Include:
Prevention of calcium oxalate stones (Calcium oxalate stone)
●The intake of oxalic acid should be reduced:Foods high in oxalate, such as spinach, rhubarb, potatoes, nuts, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, tofu, soybeans, peas, cocoa powder, and tea.
●Reduce the absorption of oxalic acid from the intestine.
●Reduce excretion of calcium oxalate from urine.
●Reduce salt:Sodium ions increase urinary calcium excretion, thereby increasing the risk of stones.
●Reduce animal protein:Such as beef, pork, chicken, offal, eggs, fish, shellfish, milk and cheese. Among them, animal protein will increase the excretion of urinary calcium, oxalic acid, and uric acid, so it should be limited. However, adolescents still need a lot of protein for their growth and development. At this time, plant protein can be considered to make up for it.
● Calcium ion intake should be sufficient:Do not skip high-calcium foods in order to prevent stones, because calcium ions combine with oxalic acid in the intestine to form calcium oxalate, which cannot be absorbed by the intestine, thereby reducing the excretion of oxalate from the kidneys.

Calcium phosphate stone
●Reduce salt.
●Reduce animal protein.
●Calcium ion intake should be sufficient.
Uric acid stones
●Animal protein should be reduced.
Cystine stone
●Drink plenty of water:Drinking water is the most effective way to prevent cystine stones.
Citrus and citric acid can prevent kidney stones
In addition, Chen Youcheng also said that kidney stones can be prevented through citrus drinks, such as oranges and grapefruits. And it contains a lot of citric acid (citrate), which can also prevent crystallization from forming stones. Such as: lemon (lemon) and lime (lime).
Finally, Chen Youcheng reminded that most children now like to eat processed foods, and processed foods are generally salty. Therefore, eating a lot of salt in the stomach will increase the risk of kidney stones. He sorted out the “recommended daily upper limit of sodium ion for children”, which varies according to age (in mg): 1 to 3 years old (1200); 4 to 8 years old (1500); 9 to 13 years old (1800); 14 years old above (2300mg), while a teaspoon of salt is about 2325.
