Abstract :
|
Renal stones, also known as renal calculi (singular calculus), are the most common disease of the urinary tract affecting about 10% of the global population. The pathophysiology of renal stone formation is very complex and involves multiple factors. Diet plays a major role in the concentration of a number of urinary solutes and inhibitors involved in crystallization and stone growth. Determining the impact of one’s diet on future stone risk begins with a dietary history and subsequent metabolic testing. Metabolic testing usually reveals that an individual’s risk is caused by a combination of metabolic and environmental factors, many of which can be improved with dietary modification. In this paper, we will outline how diet impacts urinary stone formation and offer dietary recommendations for individuals with specific types of urinary stone.
