Suggest Treatment To Recurring Kidney Stones

Hi, I am prone to kidney stones, I have spongy kidneys and have had 3 surgical procedures to remove kidney stones by using yag laser, now they say I have uncountable stones once again and are suggesting another round of yag laser. The doctor that is doing the surgery (procedure) is a wonderful person and I do not fault what he is doing for me, but, I feel that there is more that could or should be done to cure me of this horrid problem. I have anywhere up to 100 stones lodged in each kidney at anytime. help please, this has been ongoing for more than 10 years.

Hello
Thanks for query .

You have repeated episodes of recurrence of stones in kidney over a period of last 10 years .

This is because of some metabolic disorder and needs to be investigated so that preventive measures can be taken to avoid recurrence of stone .

1) Get stone analysis done to know the composition of stones
2) Blood tests for serum Calcium and Phosphorus levels which constitute major component in stone
3) Serum Uric acid levels .
4) Urine routine and culture


1)Ensure to drink more water to keep your urine dilute
2) Take adequate calcium with Oxalate in diet
3) Avoid excess of Sodium (Salt)
4) Avoid vegetables that contain more phytate like Spinach ,cabbage ,roots etc .
5) Avoid getting UTI by taking prophylactic antibiotics as and when necessary .
