The prevention of kidney stones focuses on finding the cause of the stone, treating the cause, or intervening. Such as parathyroid tumors and kidney stones caused by hyperparathyroidism, surgical removal of parathyroid adenomas. Nephrolithiasis caused by narrowing of the pelvic ureteral junction should be performed with a joint forming operation. Other congenital and hereditary metabolic factors should be guided according to their specific conditions.

Diet adjustment is an important part of preventing recurrence of stones. For patients with calcium oxalate stones, the intake of foods that are prone to oxalic acid, such as spinach, amaranth, water spinach, mustard, etc. should be reduced to avoid intake of large amounts of vitamin C. For the elderly, calcium supplementation is generally not restricted, but calcium supplementation should be performed at the same time as eating. It doesn't make sense to eat spinach and tofu. Now, the incidence of uric acid stones is increasing year by year, which is related to the excessive intake of meat and fat by modern people. Patients with uric acid stones should eat less purine-producing foods such as animal offal, seafood, beef and mutton, soup, nuts and so on.

Drinking water is also an important part of preventing the recurrence of stones. It is recommended that patients with stones drink more than 4,000ml of fluid daily, and keep 1500ml of urine excreted daily, so that the urine remains very diluted. The daily urine output of patients with uric acid stones is recommended to be above 2000ml, and the daily urine output of cystine stones is recommended to be above 3000ml. The types of drinking water are mainly boiled water, purified water, and mineral water. Fresh tea, orange juice, and watermelon are all good water intake methods. Drink water proactively and evenly throughout the day.
