I am suffering from Kidney stones from last 5 years. Whenever pain appears in the body stones pass through urine usually in 3-4 days. Stones keep appearing in the body time and again. I am also avoiding certain foods after deep analysis of stone I sent to lab. Is there any permanent solution for this problem?

Respected Sir 1.The estimated chance of recurrence of stone formation is nearly 50% at 5 years.(If you take 100 patients, 50 patients out of them will have stone recurrence in 5 years time) 2.Since you are a recurrent stone former, you need an extensive metabolic evaluation to know the cause of stone formation and recurrence. 3.A detailed history needs to be taken regarding underlying predisposing conditions, dietary excesses, inadequate fluid intake etc. 4.A basic metabolic panel (Blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, serum electrolytes) along with estimation of serum calcium and PTH needs to be done. 5.You have already got a stone analysis done which might give a clue regarding the composition of the stone. 6.Please Consult your urologist who would advice you proper evaluation. 7.Please follow the following precautions to prevent recurrent stone formation: a.Make sure you drink plenty of oral fluids ~ 2.5 to 3 litres / day b.Restrict excess salt intake and animal protein (red meat and fish) intake in the diet. C.Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in the diet. D.Avoid high oxalate containing foods like spinach, chocolates,nuts etc. E.Maintain a healthy physique and exercise regularly. Hope this helps Get Well soon Thanks.
