Excessive Drinking
People with a history of kidney and urinary tract stones are usually advised to drink plenty of fluids during the day - about 2.5 to 3 liters of fluid a day - until clear urine that is light to transparent is obtained.It is customary to set a drinking goal until at least 2 liters of urine are obtained in a 24-hour urine collection test.
Living in a hot climatic zone, or strenuous exercise - sometimes require even more drinking.
A 24-hour urine collection test is sometimes required to assess whether the amount of fluid the patient is drinking is sufficient.
Learn About the Source of the Problem
Checking what type of stones you are dealing with.
There are oxalate stones and there are urate stones (based on oxalic acid and uric acid respectively). The reason for the importance of clarification is that the treatment is sometimes reversed between the types.
To check, the urologist asks for a urine collection test for urates and oxalates.
Lemon
Incorporating lemons in the diet and drinking lemon juice (lemonade) is also recommended as a means of preventing kidney stones, as lemon contains citrate (citric acid) which is a substance that prevents the crystallization of urinary crystals and the formation of stones.
In the case of uric acid stones - it is usually recommended to take care of increased consumption of lemon, as these stones can sometimes be dissolved naturally with the help of citrate, without the need for interventional treatment.
