Updated at: 1452 PST, Sunday, April 25, 2010 WASHINGTON: An American professional has said that drinking lemon juice can help prevent kidney stones.Roger L. Sur, director of UC San Diego Comprehensive Kidney Stone Center, said that having lemonade daily is one of five methods to prevent kidney stones. Besides, drinking enough fluids can lessen your ingestion of salt, dietary calcium as well as protein. In a new research carried out by Sur, having four ounces of reconstituted lemon juice in two litres of water on a daily basis - was shown to cut the rate of stone formation from 1.00 to 0.13 stones per patient. Other fruit juices contain less citrate and are often supplemented with calcium and have oxalate, one of the main elements of kidney stones. In actual fact, the most usual kidney stone is a calcium stone, which is composed mainly of calcium oxalate. According to Sur, calcium stones can be caused by excessive intake of salt that arouses calcium excretion in the urine. Some individuals will not even be familiar with that they have a small stone in their kidney until it leaves the kidney and enter the ureter, causing severe pain. Another type of stone, called a uric acid stone is produced from uric acid, a waste matter normally passed out of the body through urine. Struvite, or infection stones take place with kidney or urinary tract infections while cystine stones make up less than 1% of kidney stones. Sur said: "There is a 50 percent chance of getting another stone within five to ten years if you’ve already had one. "The UCSD Kidney Stone Center can determine the cause of a kidney stone 97 percent of the time through a combination of tests and scans. These provide us with the pertinent information we need in order to create an individualized prevention plan that incorporates dietary changes and the necessary follow-up." |
