PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Urinary calculi occurring in any part of the urinary tract are abnormal concretions usually composed of mineral salts such as mixtures of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate and magnesium ammonium phosphate. They vary in size from microscopic to several centimeters in diameter.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Uric acid calculi may occur in gout, leukemia or polycythemia vera. Uric acid and calcium oxalate calculi usually occur in the presence of a acid urine with Ph 5.5 or less while calcium phosphate calculi are associated with an alkaline urine with pH of 6.8 or better. Normal should be about 6.5 pH.

TREATMENT:

The few stones of uric acid composition may be prevented or reduced and dissolved by giving the patient large amounts of fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits and juices to produce an alkaline urine which tends to keep these crystals in solution. The majority of stones are calcium oxalate formation and the object here is to provide a diet that would produce an acid urine-one high in protein, calcium and vitamin A. Kidney stones can be dissolved through Nutritional Therapy.
