Amino acid supplements that are nitrogen free may be given. Water may be restricted, as well as sodium, potassium, and phosphate. Calcium supplements may be administered to correct hypocalcemia.

Front 12

Renal Calculi

Back 12

Diet treatment depends on the type of stone formed:
*Calcium phosphate stones - low calcium and high in acid (acid ash)

*Calcium oxalate stones, low in calcium and oxaltes. Some foods high in oxalates are spinach, rhubarb, asparagus, cabbage, tomatoes, beets, nuts, celery, parsley, chocolate, instant coffee, tea, and Worcestershire sauce.

*Uric acid stones: Reduce purine in the diet. Purine is found in processed meats, liver, venision, sweetbreads. NOTE: It is difficult to achieve changes in acidity/alkalilnity of urine via diet. Therefore, medications are used most often to achieve rapid therapy.
