There are many reasons for kidney calculi, such as excessive accumulation of oxalic acid, abnormal purine metabolism, excessive fat intake and excessive protein intake. It can be seen that the fundamental reason for the formation of kidney calculi is that the daily diet is not well controlled. In particular, some foods that are easy to lead to kidney calculi, such as seafood, animal offal, spinach, fat and so on, will naturally increase the risk of kidney calculi if they are not controlled and eaten in large quantities. In case of kidney calculi, you need to drink Fu Yu Shi Shencha to promote the dissolution and discharge of stones, and avoid the need for surgical treatment because stones are too large.

Kidney calculi is a common disease in urinary system, and the prevalence rate of men is higher than that of women. When kidney calculi attacks, the patient will have severe knife pain, which is unbearable. In order to treat and prevent kidney calculi, it is necessary to know its etiology. So what are the causes of kidney calculi?

First, excessive accumulation of oxalic acid

This is one of the main factors leading to kidney calculi. Many foods in daily life, such as grapes, spinach, tea, potatoes and bamboo shoots, all contain more oxalic acid.

Second, purine metabolism disorder.

Seafood, animal offal, peanuts and other foods contain more purines. Purine needs metabolism in human body, and uric acid can be produced through metabolism, which will lead to oxalate precipitation in urine. If you don't control it in your diet, eat more foods rich in purine at one time, and purine metabolism is abnormal, then oxalate will be deposited in your urine, thus forming stones.

Third, excessive fat intake.

Many meats, especially pork, are high in fat. Fat will reduce calcium in the intestine, thus increasing the absorption of oxalate. Once the human body has the failure of excretory function of drinking less water, sweating more and urinating less, it is easy to form kidney calculi in the body. Therefore, doctors suggest that if you want to prevent kidney calculi, you should drink more water in summer when you are prone to sweating, so as to promote urination, dilute the components in urine and reduce the risk of stones.

Fourth, protein overdose.

By analyzing the composition of kidney calculi, it can be found that the content of calcium oxalate in stones is as high as 87.5%. In daily life, if you often eat too much food with high protein content, the components such as oxalic acid, calcium and uric acid in kidney and urine will generally increase. If the renal function is abnormal, these substances can't be excreted in time, and kidney calculi and ureteral calculi are easily formed in the body.
