  1. 1. Optimum Nutrition for Kidney Stone Disease Ita P. Heilberg and David S. Goldfarb We summarize the data regarding the associations of individual dietary components with kidney stones and the effects on 24- hour urinary profiles. The therapeutic recommendations for stone prevention that result from these studies are applied where possible to stones of specific composition. Idiopathic calcium oxalate stone-formers are advised to reduce ingestion of animal protein, oxalate, and sodium while maintaining intake of 800 to 1200 mg of calcium and increasing consumption of citrate and potassium. There are few data regarding dietary therapy of calcium phosphate stones. Whether the inhibitory effect of citrate sufficiently counteracts increasing urine pH to justify more intake of potassium and citrate is not clear. Reduction of sodium intake to decrease urinary calcium excretion would also be expected to decrease calcium phosphate stone recurrence. Con- versely, the most important urine variable in the causation of uric acid stones is low urine pH, linked to insulin resistance as a component of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. The mainstay of therapy is weight loss and urinary alkalinization provided by a more vegetarian diet. Reduction in animal protein intake will reduce purine ingestion and uric acid excretion. For cystine stones, restriction of animal protein is associated with reduction in intake of the cystine precursor methionine as well as cys- tine. Reduction of urine sodium results in less urine cystine. Ingestion of vegetables high in organic anion content, such as cit- rate and malate, should be associated with higher urine pH and fewer stones because the amino acid cystine is soluble in more alkaline urine. Because of their infectious origin, diet has no definitive role for struvite stones except for avoiding urinary alka- linization, which may worsen their development.

Key Words: Calcium, Citrate, Oxalate, Protein, Nephrolithiasis Introduction Many data of various sorts, from epidemiology to urine chemistry, demonstrate that diet is an important contributor to the prevalence of kidney stones. Al- though many other variables, such as genetics, contrib- ute, the composition of urine is largely determined by diet composition. Therefore, treatment of stone recur- rence with dietary modification is appealing to patients and physicians because it is also relatively inexpensive and safe. Nevertheless, the long-term adherence of pa- tients to diet and the effectiveness of diet are sup- ported more by short-term metabolic studies and epidemiological observations than by randomized con- trolled trials (RCTs). Comparisons of diet with pharma- cologic therapy have not been made so that their relative efficacy and the ability of patients to adhere to these regimens is unknown. Given these uncer- tainties, it is not possible to stress enough the impor- tance of increasing fluid intake to increase urine volume and reduce the concentrations of stone- forming salts, a therapy of proven effectiveness.1 In the present review, we summarize the data regard- ing individual dietary components thought to be causa- tive in the pathophysiology of kidney stones. The therapeutic recommendations for stone prevention that result are based on stone type (Table 1) and 24-hour uri- nary profile (Table 2). Calcium Oversaturation of urine with calcium is one of the most important risk factors for calcium nephrolithiasis. Idio- pathic hypercalciuria (IH) represents a complex, primary metabolic alteration in at least half of calcium nephroli- thiasis patients.2 Although higher dietary calcium intake may augment intestinal absorption of calcium and cause increased urinary calcium excretion,3 the net effect of cal- cium restriction on risk of stones in patients with IH is not established. Support for dietary calcium restriction has waned as doubts about efficacy, clinical trial evidence, and concerns about bone health have supervened. Cal- cium absorption is higher in IH cases at all levels of cal- cium intake, reflecting an increase in active calcium transport by the intestine. When challenged by an ex- tremely low calcium diet, patients with IH excrete more calcium in the urine than was ingested, suggesting that some of the urine calcium must derive from bone.4 In- creased urinary calcium excretion on a low-calcium diet in genetic hypercalciuric stone-forming rats also indi- cates an increase in bone resorption or a defect in kidney calcium reabsorption.5,6 In patients with IH, decreased bone mineral density, high bone resorption, and reduced bone formation are also commonly observed.7-9 From the Nephrology Division, Universidade Federal de S~ ao Paulo, S~ ao Paulo, Brazil; and Nephrology Division, New York University Langone Medi- cal Center, New York, NY, and Nephrology Section, New York Harbor V A Health Care System, New York, NY.

  2. 2. Finally, Worcester and colleagues demonstrated a greater decrease in kidney calcium reabsorption in IH stone- formers after meals.10 Therefore, most individuals with IH appear to have a more generalized systemic abnor- mality in calcium homeostasis in which simultaneous dysregulation of calcium transport in the intestine, kid- ney, and bone takes place. Attempts to classify hypercal- ciuria on the basis of pathophysiology have not been shown to lead to superior therapeutic efficacy and are not recommended in clinical practice.11,12 Large prospective observational studies show that low calcium intake is associated with a 34% higher risk of kid- ney stones in young men,13 with similar findings in youn- ger14 and older women.15 The inverse association between dietary calcium and incident kidney stones has been ascribed to a secondary increase in urinary oxalate, which results from hyperabsorption of free oxalate dur- ing low calcium intake. This then leads to reduction of the formation of insoluble, nonabsorbable calcium oxa- late complexes in the intesti- nal lumen. When the relation between diet and kidney stones in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study was re-evaluated af- ter 14 years of follow-up, the inverse association be- tween dietary calcium and the risk of kidney stone for- mation was limited to men younger than 60 years.16 Al- though the cause of this age- specific difference remains unclear, vitamin D defi- ciency and a diminished ability to absorb dietary cal- cium, more prevalent in older people, might account for this observation. More available luminal calcium would then result in more oxalate being bound in poorly absorbable complexes so that additional dietary calcium would not have further effect. In contrast, supplemental calcium is associated with a slight but significantly higher risk of incident stones in older but not younger women.15,17 The inconsistent findings regarding the effect of dietary versus supplemental calcium might be due to different timing of ingestion of the latter. Ingestion of supplements without food may lead to increased calcium absorption and urinary excretion with little or no effect on the absorption and excretion of oxalate. Therefore, calcium supplements should be administered as calcium citrate and preferentially taken with, or shortly after, meals by stone-forming individ- uals.18 It is also possible that dairy products (the major source of dietary calcium) may contain other inhibitory factors. The protective effect of increased dietary calcium to reduce stone recurrence was tested in an RCT that com- pared the effect of a diet containing 1200 mg of calcium per day (30 mmol/day), but reduced amounts of animal protein (52 g/day) and salt (50 mmol/day), with a lower calcium diet (400 mg/day ¼ 10 mmol/day) in 120 hy- percalciuric men with recurrent calcium oxalate stones.19 Both groups were counseled to reduce oxalate intake. Urinary calcium levels presented a marked and significant decrease in both groups, whereas urinary ox- alate excretion was significantly decreased in the partic- ipants assigned to the higher calcium diet and nonsignificantly increased in the low-calcium diet group. The higher calcium intake was associated with a 49% lower unadjusted relative risk of recurrence of stone disease at 5 years. Because dietary sodium and an- imal protein may contribute to the causation of calcium stones,20 this trial, although suggestive, did not directly address the independent role of dietary calcium in the pathogenesis of kidney stones.21 No such study has been performed in women. In conclusion, the consen- sus is that dietary calcium restriction is no longer considered appropriate ther- apy for hypercalciuria be- cause there is no evidence thatlowercalciumintakepre- vents stones and because of the threat of bone dem- ineralization.7,22 Instead, a moderate increase in cal- cium intake (800–1200 mg, approximately 3-4 servings of dairy per day) by subjects with low calcium intake appears appropriate, whereas those with moderate calcium intake can continue that practice. Oxalate Urinary oxalate derives from dietary sources and endog- enous metabolism, with the relative proportions contrib- uted by each source varying among individuals.23 In metabolic studies with controlled oxalate intake, as ex- pected, urinary oxalate excretion increases as dietary ox- alate intake increases.24 The mean contribution of dietary oxalate to urinary oxalate excretion ranged from approx- imately 24 to 42% on a 10- to 50-mg/day diet. When the calcium content was also reduced from 1002 mg to 391 mg, the dietary contribution of oxalate further increased to 53%. This finding further emphasizes that oxalate ab- sorption is also highly dependent on calcium intake.25,26 The proportion of oxalate absorbed from an oral load, as CLINICAL SUMMARY " Idiopathic calcium oxalate stone-formers are advised to re- duce ingestion of animal protein, oxalate, and sodium while maintaining intake of 800 to 1200 mg of calcium and increasing consumption of citrate and potassium.

  4. 4. measured by radiolabeled oxalate ingestion in calcium stone-formers, is higher than in nonstone-formers: 9.2 versus 6.8%.27 On the basis of these studies, it is possible that dietary oxalate restriction might be most efficacious if prescribed for those with hyperoxaluria and hyper- absorption, although this test has not been used pros- pectively in this manner to selectively prescribe an oxalate-restricted diet. The method of food preparation and local agricultural variables may contribute to varia- tion in oxalate content, but questions remain about what proportion of dietary oxalate is soluble and bio- available versus insoluble.28 Fat malabsorption is also re- sponsible for increased intestinal oxalate absorption in many conditions in which reducing dietary fat might be considered.29-31 In epidemiological studies in 3 cohorts of men and women, oxalate intake assessed by food frequency ques- tionnaires (FFQs) surprisingly did not differ between stone-formers and nonstone-formers. The relative risks for stones in participants were 1.22 for men, 1.21 for older women, and not significant for younger women, compar- ing the highest versus the lowest quintiles of dietary ox- alate intake.32 Overall, the effect was small. In addition, no trial of oxalate lowering with stone formation as the outcome has been performed. Newer data on food oxalate content would be important in the design of an RCT (see https://regepi.bwh.harvard.edu/health/ Oxalate/files). Therefore, the efficacy of restricting die- tary oxalate intake for stone prevention remains un- proven, except for special conditions such as bariatric surgery.29,33 It is possible that increasing calcium intake, especially if low, is a more useful means of reducing urine oxalate excretion than reducing oxalate intake alone.19 Another variable of uncertain significance in deter- mining the importance of dietary oxalate is colonization with Oxalobacter formigenes, an obligate oxalate- degrading anaerobe in the normal intestinal micro- biome. Its presence in the colon is associated with lesser urine oxalate excretion.34 The organism may also be ca- pable of stimulating oxalate secretion from the host’s blood to the intestinal lumen, thereby offering another mechanism of reducing the host’s urine oxalate load.35 Other intestinal commensals such as Enterococcus faeca- lis, Eubacterium lentum, and some lactic acid bacteria present in various food products may also use oxalate as an energy source and lead to decreasing oxaluria. Several studies have assessed the effects of oral admin- istration of different probiotic preparations on oxaluria with variable results.34,36 However, individuals characterized by high oxalate absorption were most likely to experience clinically significant reductions in urinary oxalate in response to acute probiotic ingestion, which suggests that dietary oxalate plays a key role as a determinant of urinary oxalate excretion in response to the use of probiotics. Protein The nutrient that clearly has universal effects on most of the urinary parameters involved in stone formation is an- imal protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs; dairy products are not included).20 The combination of a low-calcium diet with a high-animal-protein diet is particularly harmful because it also induces negative calcium balance.22 High animal protein intake, a source of purines, contrib- utes to hyperuricosuria, a risk factor for calcium stones.37 The accompanying acid load leads to hypocitraturia because of reduced tubular citrate reabsorption.38,39 The effect of dietary protein on urinary oxalate is controversial, with some studies showing an increase40-42 whereas others report no change.43 Increased protein intake on a controlled oxalate diet increased urinary glycolate but did not affect total daily oxalate excretion in normal subjects, suggesting that endogenous oxalate synthesis was not increased.44 Finally, the effect of dietary protein on urinary excre- tion of calcium is clear and well established. Animal protein-induced hypercalciuria occurs from more bone resorption and lower tubular calcium reabsorption. The presence of nonresorbable calcium sulfate in the tubular lumen consequent to sulfate production from oxidation of excessive sulfur-containing amino acids may also con- tribute.45,46 In addition, acidosis has an effect on calcium absorption by TRPV5 channels and their expression in the distal tubule, leading to increased urine calcium excretion.47 However, a very recent study concluded that hypercalciuria associated with high dietary protein intake was not due to the acid load.48 Epidemiological data reveal a positive association be- tween animal protein consumption and new kidney stone formation in men but not women.13,15,17 The risk associated with animal protein intake varied with body mass index (BMI) only in men with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2 .16 The lack of association in overweight men re- mains unexplained. Short-term dietary protein restriction (0.8 g/kg/day) for 2 weeks significantly reduced urinary excretion of cal- cium, phosphate, hydroxyproline, uric acid, and oxalate and increased citrate excretion in patients with nephroli- thiasis.41 Patients with recurrent nephrolithiasis may be more sensitive to the calciuric action of protein.49 Despite poor adherence to a 4-month period of low animal pro- tein intake, 38.7% of stone-formers exhibited a reduction in urine urea and calcium excretion. Significant correla- tions between urea and calcium outputs were detected only among those with hypercalciuria.50 Few clinical trials have definitively evaluated the ef- fect of animal protein restriction on calcium oxalate stone formation. An RCT of a low-animal-protein, high-fiber diet was conducted in calcium oxalate stone-formers fol- lowed regularly for up to 4.5 years with FFQs and urine chemistry measurements.51 The intervention group had Heilberg and Goldfarb 168
  5. 5. an increase in the relative risk of recurrent stones, leading the authors to conclude that the diet had no advantage over advice to increase fluid intake alone. Measurement of urea excretion suggested that the intervention group had difficulty adhering to the diet. On the other hand, in the trial of Borghi and colleagues the reduction of die- tary protein as prescribed was confirmed by a lower uri- nary urea and sulfate and might have been partly responsible for the reduction of stone recurrence by de- creasing oxalate and calcium excretion.19 Finally, a more recent 4-year randomized trial of low-animal-protein compared with high-fiber diets revealed no change in urinary calcium levels and recurrence rates despite a sig- nificant decrease in 24-hour urinary sulfate in the low- protein group.52 Again, there was imperfect adherence, so that the effectiveness of protein restriction in clinical practice may either be considered not definitively tested or as a manipulation not likely to find more enthusiastic adherents. Despite well described effects of increased animal pro- tein to increase stone risk as assessed by adverse changes in urine chemistry, no protein-restricted diet has been shown to reduce stone recurrence rates except one that included higher calcium intake and restricted sodium in- take. Given the difficulty that modern, Western popula- tions have with protein restriction, the importance of such a dietary prescription has not been demonstrated but might be worthwhile for patients with high protein intake suggested by history or by 24-hour urine results. Sodium High sodium intake and a subsequent decrease in proxi- mal sodium reabsorption reduce kidney tubular calcium reabsorption. The effect of sodium intake on increasing calcium excretion is well established. Every 100-mEq in- crease in daily dietary sodium leads to an approximate 25- to 40-mg increase in urinary calcium excretion per day.53 In kidney stone-forming subjects, daily urinary cal- cium excretion varied directly with moderate changes in dietary sodium intake.54,55 Although epidemiological studies revealed a positive, independent association between sodium consumption and new kidney stone formation in women,13,17 the interpretation of the results may be limited by the inaccuracy of the assessment of sodium intake by semiquantitative FFQs. Recently, a cross-sectional study aimed at delineating associations between dietary and urinary factors with 24-hour urinary calcium excretion found that participants in the highest quartiles of urinary sodium excreted 37 mg/day more urinary calcium than participants in the lowest quartile.56 The adverse effects of a high sodium chloride (NaCl) intake (assessed by 24-hour sodium excretion) on calcium excretion and bone loss have also been reported in stone-formers.57 Af- ter adjustment for calcium and protein intakes; age, weight, BMI, urinary calcium, citrate, and uric acid excre- tion; and duration of stone disease, a multiple regression analysis showed that a high NaCl intake was the single variable that was most predictive of risk of low bone den- sity. No RCTs addressing sodium restriction as a sole therapy have been performed. Nevertheless, in the RCT by Borghi and colleagues the reduction in sodium intake accompanying higher calcium intake may have been im- portant to reduce calciuria.19 Citrate and Potassium The primary mechanisms of action of urine citrate are to increase the solubility of stone-forming calcium salts and inhibit calcium oxalate crystal growth. Modulation of cit- rate excretion in the kidney is influenced by multiple fac- tors, but systemic acid-base variables have the strongest effect.58 Whereas acid loads and acidosis increase kidney tubule reabsorption of citrate, alkali loads and alkalosis reduce it, hence increasing urinary citrate excretion. In addition, the systemic alkalinization that occurs with cit- rate supplementation reduces calcium excretion. This ef- fect is also important in increasing urine pH, reducing the risk of uric acid and cystine-based calculi. However, com- pliance with potassium citrate preparations can be diffi- cult, especially in the older population, because of gastrointestinal side effects. Substitution of increased an- imal protein intake with high intake of fruits and vegeta- bles among stone-formers is associated with increased urine pH and volume (because of the water content of fruits and vegetables) and increases of 68% in urinary cit- rate and potassium with concomitant reductions in am- monium excretion.59 Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and some tangerines are natural sources of dietary citrate and may be a nonpharmacological, die- tary alternative therapy to potassium citrate supplemen- tation for the management of hypocitraturia or uric acid and cystine stones. Numerous short-term studies of urinary chemistry measures have demonstrated that urinary citrate levels increased after consumption of either grapefruit60,61 or orange juice61-63 or lemonade64-67 whereas a few yielded no improvements in citraturia with lemonade.63,68 Citrate in orange and grapefruit juices is complexed mainly by potassium, thus also increasing urinary pH. However, citrate in lemon juice, with high citric acid content, is largely accompanied by protons, hence not conferring the alkalinizing load that orange juice provides.63 Nevertheless, some citraturic effect of oral citric acid may be attributed to some of the absorbed citrate escaping liver oxidation and degradation.69 Be- cause any organic anion that causes a systemic alkalosis increases citrate excretion, malate may also increase uri- nary citrate.70 The significant caloric load that accom- panies the ingestion of large volumes of orange juice is a major concern that is not shared by freshly squeezed Optimum Nutrition for Stone Disease 169
  6. 6. lemon/lime juices that can be sweetened with artificial sweeteners, thereby minimizing increased calciuria asso- ciated with fructose ingestion71 or perhaps other carbo- hydrates.72 An additional benefit of citrus juice is the requisite increase in overall fluid consumption, thus in- creasing daily urine volume and reducing urine supersat- uration. Noncitrus fruits such as pineapple and cranberry may also be rich in citrate. However, the effect of cran- berry extracts on urine citrate excretion is variable and it may increase oxalate excretion73 (as also observed for orange juice63 ), probably because of the presence of a cer- tain amount of oxalate or conversion of ascorbic acid to oxalate in vivo.74 Fresh tomato juice is also reported to contain a considerable amount of citrate.75 Finally, vari- ous melons—noncitrus alkaline fruits rich in potassium, citrate, and malate—yield increases in urinary citrate ex- cretion similar to those provided by orange, hence repre- senting another dietary alternative for the treatment of hypocitraturic stone-formers.76 Despite the evidence of increased urinary citrate in- duced by citrus juice consumption, observational studies do not show a reduction of the risk for stone formation associated with orange juice. For reasons yet un- explained, stone risk increased up to 44% for each 240-mL serving of grapefruit juice consumed daily in men and women.77,78 In one observational study, the risk of stones increased by 35% with apple juice consumption77 despite its effect to increase urinary cit- rate excretion.61 On the other hand, observational studies show that higher potassium intake is inversely associated with inci- dent kidney stones in men and older women, with the ex- ception of younger women.13,15,17 The effect of higher potassium intake would mostly relate to the cation being accompanied by an organic anion, such as citrate and malate, representing an alkaline load. However, potassium deficiency stimulates proximal tubular citrate reabsorption so that potassium intake per se might reduce stone risk regardless of the accompanying anion. Martini and colleagues have observed a significant correlation between urinary potassium and citrate.54 Patients whose self-assigned diets more closely resembled the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-style diet, which is rich in fruits and vegetables, had a marked decrease in kidney stone risk.79 In a cross- sectional study of a large cohort of persons with and without nephrolithiasis, multivariate-adjusted 24-hour urinary citrate excretion was 16% greater in those exhib- iting the highest quintile of scores for diets resembling the DASH diet.80 Higher urine potassium and pH were also significantly associated with higher DASH score in all cohorts, confirming the benefits of the alkali and high potassium content of such diet. In 2 recent studies, quantitative analysis of citric acid in commercially available fruit juice products and bever- ages was performed with variable results.81,82 Lemon and lime juice from either fresh fruit or concentrates provided more citric acid per liter than ready-to-consume grape- fruit or orange juice.82 In the nonjuice category of tested beverages, only lemonade-flavored Crystal Light pre- sented a high concentration of citrate.81 However, con- sumption of diet orange soda to provide 60 mEq of citrate would have to be in excess of 2 L/day or more than 9 8-oz glasses per day.83 Finally, pH is an important determinant of alkali load in beverages containing or- ganic anions such as citrate. The carboxyl groups of cit- rate will have no effect on urine pH if protonated, but if accompanied by other cations such as potassium or so- dium, they will serve as net base. Commercial oral rehy- dration solutions that contain a higher pH and more citrate content led to an increase in citraturia and urinary pH.84 However, these sports drinks may contain too many calories and fructose to be preferred beverages for stone prevention. The amount of vitamin C added to juices is also a concern because of its conversion to ox- alate, although the amount is not high if compared with vitamin C supplements.74 Other Beverages A prospective controlled study showed that increasing water intake to achieve a urinary volume of approxi- mately 2.5 L/day was associated with reduced stone re- currence.1 Although the exact daily amount of fluids needed by stone-formers remains uncertain, advice on how much to drink to form at least 30 mL/kg of body weight of urine per day can be recommended. Achieving 2.5 to 3 L per day may be optimal. Although there is general agreement on the need to in- crease urinary volume in stone-formers, controversy ex- ists regarding the effect of water hardness on kidney stone incidence.85 The magnesium and bicarbonate con- tent of some mineral waters may result in favorable changes in urinary pH, magnesium and citrate excretion, inhibitors of calcium oxalate stone formation, counterbal- ancing increased calcium excretion.86,87 The risk of uric acid precipitation may also decrease with bicarbonate- containing water intake. However, increased risk of cal- cium phosphate stone formation may be observed.88 Observational studies have found that caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee and tea reduce the risk of stone for- mation77,89 despite caffeine’s effect to increase urine calcium excretion.90 Alcohol in general, and beer specifi- cally, are consistently associated with protection against stone prevalence,1,2,75 possibly because of the inhibition of antidiuretic hormone secretion, leading to decreased urinary concentration.77,78,89 Beer was once said to contain sizeable oxalate content, but current methods do not confirm that supposition. However, beer may contain purines and contribute to hyperuricosuria. Although observational studies have not shown an adverse effect of cola consumption on stone Heilberg and Goldfarb 170
  7. 7. prevalence,78,91 colas have lower citrate content than clear sodas and are variably associated with worsening of urine parameters, including an increase in oxalate excretion, suggesting an increased tendency to form calcium oxalate crystals at least in vitro.92 Phytate Phytate, or inositol hexaphosphate, inhibits calcium salt crystallization and stone growth in vitro.93 Phytate-rich foods include beans, cereals, whole grains, and rice. In fact, these foods also have significant oxalate content, and it is possible that their phytate content mitigates their oxalate-induced lithogenic potential.94 Although rela- tively nonabsorbable with less than 5% of ingested phy- tate appearing in the urine, increased dietary phytate content is associated with increases in urine excretion such that a clinically meaningful result is possible.95 Western diets contain progressively less phytate because of greater refinement of grains and rice, corresponding to increased stone prevalence. In prospectively followed co- horts of men and women, increased dietary phytate con- tent, as estimated by FFQs, has been variably associated with reductions in stone risk.15 However, phytate intake was not associated with reduced stone risk in men in a multivariate analysis.16 Calories and Fructose Many observations and epidemiological studies link obe- sity, weight gain, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes with increased prevalence of stones.96-98 Higher BMI is associated with lower urine pH99 and a higher prevalence of uric acid stones.100 However, alka- linization alone may fail in uric acid stone-formers be- cause they appear to have increased net acid excretion and lower urine pH at any level of urine sulfate excretion (a surrogate of animal protein intake) compared with nonuric acid stone-formers.101 Because higher BMI is as- sociated with higher urine oxalate excretion, calcium ox- alate stones might also increase with obesity. Therefore, weight loss might be associated with reduced stone prev- alence of any composition. However, low-carbohydrate diets rich in animal protein such as the Atkins diet reduce urine pH and citrate excretion while increasing uric acid excretion. Therefore, such diets are not recommended for stone-formers.45 Perhaps their negative effect could be overcome by ample potassium citrate supplementation. We would instead recommend a low-calorie DASH diet, also useful for diabetes and hypertension. Weight Watchers and other more balanced plans might also yield satisfactory results.79,102 Of note, stone-formers advised to decrease their intake of protein (or fat) should not in- crease their consumption of fructose-rich foods (espe- cially high-fructose corn syrup). Fructose was independently associated with an increased risk of inci- dent kidney stones whereas nonfructose carbohydrates Table 3.

Summary Calcium Oxalate Stones Idiopathic calcium oxalate stone-formers are advised to reduce animal protein, oxalate, and sodium in their diets while maintaining adequate intakes of calcium and in- creasing their consumption of citrate and potassium (Table 1). Calcium Phosphate Stones Reduce sodium intake to reduce calcium excretion. Uric Acid Stones The mainstay of therapy is weight loss and urinary alka- linization provided by a more vegetarian diet, leading to an increase in urine citrate content and pH. Reduction in animal protein intake may further reduce purine inges- tion and uric acid excretion. Cystine Stones Restrict animal protein to reduce cystine and methionine ingestion, and restrict sodium intake to further reduce ex- cretion and supersaturation of cystine.104-106 Ingestion of vegetables high in content of organic anions, such as citrate, should be associated with higher urine pH.104,106 Struvite Stones Because of their infectious origin, diet has no definitive role for struvite stones. Conclusion Dietary modification can reduce the risk of stone recur- rence. Although an individualized dietary prescription must be tailored according to stone type or urinary risk factors, almost all stone-formers should benefit from in- creased fluid intake and a diet containing 800 to 1200 mg of calcium; reduced amounts of sodium and animal protein; and higher intake of fruits, vegetables, and grains (excluding the high-oxalate ones). Reduced sugar intake, such as in the low-calorie DASH diet, is also rec- ommended.107 Table 3 shows the adequacy for nutrients based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances. Dietary modifications (increase or reduction of nutrients), as pre- viously suggested in Tables 1 and 2, can be calculated from these recommendations.
