With the change of people's dietary structure, the incidence of uric acid stones has increased rapidly in the past two decades, especially in the coastal areas of China. At the same time, the recurrence rate of uric acid stones is also high. In the following, we discuss how to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of uric acid stones by focusing on the specific factors that cause the formation of uric acid stones. There are three main factors for the formation of uric acid stones: 1. The urine pH value is persistently too low: in acidic urine, the solubility of uric acid is very low, and it is easy to precipitate crystals and lead to the formation of stones. In this regard, patients should eat more foods rich in alkaline potassium citrate in their daily diet, such as citrus fruits and their drinks, which help to alkalize urine and promote the dissolution of uric acid stones. In addition, it should be noted that alcohol will increase the excretion of lactic acid in the urine and cause urine acidification, promote the formation of uric acid crystals, and then lead to the occurrence and recurrence of stones, so patients with uric acid stones should strictly abstain from alcohol.
2. High uric acid urine caused by excessive uric acid production or excessive excretion: purine is a precursor substance of uric acid, and if it is consumed excessively, it will lead to an increase in uric acid excretion, which in turn will lead to the formation of uric acid stones. Therefore, stone patients should limit the consumption of high-purine foods, that is, strictly limit the consumption of fish, shrimp, meat and other purine-rich foods, the daily total amount is less than 150 grams (raw, 3 taels), avoid eating animal offal, and eat less beans and mushrooms.
3. Increase in urinary uric acid concentration caused by low urine output: drinking a lot of water is an effective way to prevent and treat low urine output.
