How much water is consumed every day in summer to prevent kidney stones
The reporter learned from the Guangzhou City Hospital that there were more patients in the outpatient clinic who required obstruction for obstructive kidney disease. The director of the Department of Nephrology, Rao Jiazhen reminded that the loss of hot summer hot water points is severe, whether it is stone patients or ordinary people, eat less supper less stay up all night, regular rest, drink plenty of water, drink less old fire soup, kidney protection anti-calculus is very important.
Caution: Swelling in the waist, turbid urine
"In the hot summer months, if the water in the body evaporates excessively, the natural urine output will decrease, which will easily cause the urinary stones to coagulate out of the kidney stones." Rao Jiazhen said, "The summer sunshine takes a long time. Helps the body's absorption of vitamin AD, promote the absorption of calcium, easily lead to increased excretion of calcium in the urine, coupled with the problem of low urine output, resulting in precipitation is easy to form kidney stones.Some of these sedentary is not often used in the toilet People have a greater chance of having kidney stones in summer."
Stones are crystalline and asymptomatic in the early stages of kidney formation. A small number of patients may have symptoms of waist bloating, urine turbidity, and most have no symptoms. When stones are 0.2-0.3 cm, one-third of patients have symptoms of back pain. Stones are larger than 0.5-0.9 cm. Half of the patients have symptoms. Stones are larger than 1.0 cm. If they are in the kidney, they do not cause ureteral obstruction, except for low back pain. The symptoms of urinary tract infections sometimes occur. Stones such as in the ureters cause obstruction and the pain is severe. They may look at the emergency department. Some need surgery immediately, such as extracorporeal lithotripsy and ureteroscopy.
People who are predisposed to a history of inherited kidney diseases such as stones and hyperuricemia, as well as foods like Lao Huo Tang and seafood, are often exposed to kidney disease such as kidney stones. In addition, people who stay up late, eat supper, because the kidneys did not get enough rest, so that calcium, uric acid and other substances can not be fully excreted, can also lead to kidney stones.
Recommendation: Drink 4000 ml of water daily
Dietary adjustment is the key to preventing the recurrence of stones. Stones were found to contain calcium stones, infectious stones, uric acid stones, and cystine stones. Patients with calcium oxalate stones should reduce the intake of oxalic acid foods, such as spinach, leek, spinach, mustard, etc., to avoid ingesting large amounts of vitamin C. For the elderly, generally do not limit calcium supplementation.
Rao Jiazhen said that the incidence of uric acid stones is increasing year by year, which is related to the intake of excessive meat and fat by modern people. Patients with uric acid stones should eat less purine-producing foods such as animal organs, seafood, beef and mutton, soup, and nuts. Patients with uric acid stones and cystine stones can increase the pH of urine by taking basic drugs, increase the solubility of uric acid and cystine, and reduce the recurrence rate.
"Drinking water is an important part of preventing the recurrence of stones." Rao Jiazhen suggested that patients with stones should drink more than 4000 ml of fluid per day, and keep urine 1500 ml or more per day to maintain a very diluted state of urine. Daily urine volume in patients with uric acid stones is recommended to be more than 2000 milliliters, and urine volume in patients with cystine stones is recommended to be more than 3000 milliliters per day. "The types of drinking water are mainly boiled water, purified water, and mineral water. Light tea, orange juice, and watermelon are all good ways to take water, and we must take the initiative to drink water."
Daily kidney protection, we must first pay attention to work and rest. It is necessary to go to sleep before 12 o'clock in the evening so as to protect the kidneys and other organs so as to avoid damage caused by day and night. Second, pay attention to the use of drugs, especially antibiotics, pain medicine, anti-cold drugs, stomach medicine, etc., can not be used for a long time, otherwise it will have a great deal of damage to the kidneys. In addition, we must pay attention to work and life stress, exercise, pay attention to abstinence and so on.
