Urinary diathesis

"Urosalt diathesis" is the name of a specific pathological process in which the human body has an increased concentration of calcium salts (urates and oxalates), as well as purines and uric acid. In turn, this leads to the development of deforming diseases of the kidneys, musculoskeletal system and gallbladder.

Translated from Greek, "diathesis" means "predisposition" - this is how doctors call a congenital metabolic disorder. The human body's predisposition to salt formation threatens the appearance of stones in the renal pelvis. One of the main causes of uric acid diathesis is a previous inflammatory process in the kidneys, which has become chronic. Also, one can note the incorrect organization of the diet and drinking regime. For example, kidney dysfunction can be a consequence of excessive consumption of mineral waters. If this pathology is not diagnosed and eliminated in time, it can provoke kidney disease.

Urine with urea salt (uric acid) diathesis has persistent increased acidity, which is one of the factors influencing the process of stone formation. Metabolic imbalance negatively affects the state of the excretory system, which has difficulty coping with heavy loads. Exacerbation of urea salt diathesis can cause cystopyelitis, cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, which have similar symptoms (because of this, it is difficult to determine the initial cause of the disease).

Urosalt diathesis is not an independent disease, it is a pathological condition of the body, which is characterized by increased salt formation. In the patient's body, a large amount of uric acid accumulates, which has the property of crystallizing. The sediment of salts in the urine is similar in appearance to reddish grains of sand.

There is an opinion that such a predisposition is transmitted genetically, however, the formation of sand in the kidneys does not occur immediately, but when the urinary system cannot cope with the loads caused by improper nutrition and lifestyle of a person. In the International Classification of Diseases, such a pathology has a code according to ICD 10 - E79 "Purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders". A dangerous consequence of such a pathological process is urolithiasis, which belongs to class XIV (N20-N23). Deviations in urine analysis, which are difficult to diagnose, belong to class XVIII (R80-R82).

It can be difficult to diagnose due to the asymptomatic course of the pathological disease, as well as its exacerbation as a result of the development of cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, which are characterized by similar symptoms. It is important to identify the course of the pathological process in the body in time and establish the cause of its occurrence in order to avoid complications and consequences in the form of stone formation. One of the effective methods for early diagnosis of urea-salt diathesis is an ultrasound examination, with the help of which salt in the kidneys is determined in the form of echo-positive inclusions.

Causes urinary diathesis

Uro-salt diathesis is not associated with the use of any products that can cause allergies, as some believe. In this case, the term "diathesis" rather covers the manifestations, and not the etiology of the disease. If we talk about the causes of uro-salt diathesis, there are quite a few of them. One of them is a previous inflammatory process in the kidneys that has become chronic. The list can be continued: lack of fluid in the body, frequent stress, diabetes, pyelonephritis, hepatitis, alcoholism, chemotherapy, etc.

Thus, the causes of uric acid diathesis are rooted in the disruption of the kidneys and other organs. This pathology can be caused by the following factors:

• Hereditary predisposition.
• Improper nutrition (excessive consumption of meat, as well as spicy, smoked, salty, fatty foods and incompatible products provokes an imbalance in the metabolic process, which negatively affects the functioning of the excretory system).
• Chronic diseases and inflammatory processes, kidney injuries.
• The state of the excretory system (congenital kidney pathology, for example, hereditary renal failure, contributes to the development of uric acid diathesis from the first years of a child’s life).
• Insufficient amount of water in the body (the daily norm should be at least 1.5 liters for metabolic processes to proceed at full capacity).
• Lack of vitamins and microelements (especially in winter), which leads to a decrease in the body's immune resistance.
• Excessive physical activity.
• Intoxication of the body.
• Taking antibacterial drugs over a long period of time.
• Prolonged refusal to eat.

Uraturia (uric acid diathesis) can develop against the background of pregnancy, since during this period the female body undergoes increased stress. In pregnant women, this condition can occur as a reaction of the body to gestational processes.

Pathogenesis

Diathesis as a constitutional anomaly characterizes metabolic features that, under certain conditions, can develop into pathology. Urosalt diathesis is a kind of borderline condition that is characterized by an increased risk of a number of diseases. This feature of the body can be constitutional or acquired. It leads to an increase in the level of organic calcium salts in the urine, which, under certain conditions, is fraught with the development of pathologies associated with disruption of the urinary system.

The concept of "pathogenesis" is a set of processes that determine the mechanisms of occurrence and course of a particular disease. The process of development of uric acid diathesis is associated with metabolic disorders, as a result of which uric acid crystals are deposited in the kidneys and then excreted in the urine. As a result of metabolic reactions failure in the human body, urates (uric acid salts) are formed from pyrimidine and purine bases. The sediment in the urine is similar in consistency to sand and has a reddish tint. In addition, the diathesis stage is accompanied by the occurrence of echo-positive inclusions in the kidneys, an increase in oxalates, phosphates, and the addition of other kidney diseases.

Clinical and laboratory manifestations of uric acid diathesis are associated with the impact of external factors - in particular, water regime, diet, climatic conditions. Water deficiency in the body causes a decrease in fluid excretion in the kidneys, and also leads to an increase in the density of urine, which affects the creation of favorable conditions for the process of crystallization of urates and oxalates.

Another mechanism for the development of uric acid diathesis is associated with an increased amount of organic acids that enter the body with food. Thus, a diet rich in canned fish, meat dishes, legumes, offal, cocoa, increases purine metabolism and causes an increase in the concentration of urates, and a menu in which vegetables with a high concentration of oxalic acid predominate causes increased formation of oxalates.

Symptoms urinary diathesis

Urosalt diathesis manifests itself in different ways, but most often at the initial stages of the pathological condition, the accumulation of salts in the kidneys does not cause discomfort. And only when salt crystals (urates, oxalates, phosphates, carbonates and other compounds) begin to move to the exit of the urinary system, irritation of the mucous membrane occurs, which leads to its inflammation.

Therefore, the main symptoms of uric acid diathesis are, first of all, pain syndrome during urination and frequent urge to go to the toilet. At the same time, the doses of excreted urine are scanty. Then, nagging pains of a cutting nature in the kidney area, back and lower back join in. Urine changes its color and composition, blood impurities are observed in it, an increase in temperature is possible (especially in pregnant women) due to the inflammatory process in the renal pelvis and urinary tract.

Other symptoms of uric acid diathesis include nausea and vomiting, increased blood pressure and the development of edema due to difficulty removing fluid from the body. The patient complains of irritability and frequent mood swings, aggressiveness, anxiety, sleep disturbances, thirst, and attacks of strong heartbeat. The patient may also experience constipation, loss of appetite, headaches (migraines), and general loss of strength. An important symptom is the smell of acetone from the mouth, as in cases of intoxication.

Even at the stage of painful urination, you should urgently consult a doctor and take all the necessary tests (urine, blood, ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder). Pyelonephritis and cystitis, which are often "companions" of uric acid diathesis, indicate pathological processes in the kidneys.

First signs

Urosalt diathesis at the initial stage is asymptomatic, so a person does not even suspect the presence of pathology and does not feel any discomfort. The appearance of acute symptoms is preceded by failures in the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, constipation, loss of appetite, irritability. The acute phase occurs with excessive accumulation of urates in the kidneys - uric acid salts.

The first signs are associated with the inflammatory process and manifest themselves as frequent urges to go to the toilet and the occurrence of sharp pains in the lower back and kidney area. The pain intensifies significantly during urination, which is associated with the excretion of salts through the ureters. Such symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of cystitis and prostatitis in men. The patient may experience a sharp increase in temperature. An alarming signal is hematuria - the appearance of blood in the urine, which indicates the accumulation and crystallization of salts in the body. In pregnant women, the symptoms of the disease are associated with the fact that the kidneys experience a greater load, since they have to excrete the waste products of both the mother and the fetus.

To identify the pathology, the patient is prescribed tests and ultrasound, because based on the symptoms of investigative diseases it is not always possible to diagnose uric acid diathesis. The results of the urine analysis will show an excess of proteins and salts.

Complications and consequences

Urosalt diathesis is a complex pathological process that provokes qualitative and quantitative changes in the composition of urine. In this case, abundant precipitation of uric acid and urates is observed, and the urine acquires a red tint.

The consequences of uric acid diathesis are quite unfavorable and most often lead to the development of gout (a disease of the joints and tissues), which develops against the background of metabolic disorders. The prerequisite for this condition is an improper diet, overloaded with protein foods and purine bases (meat, broths, legumes, cocoa).

Increased urine acidity leads to the precipitation of a large amount of uric acid and salts from the urine. Crystals of uric acid and salts are deposited in various organs and tissues of the body due to metabolic disorders. Such failures, in turn, cause the formation of nephrolithiasis (kidney stone disease). Due to uric acid diathesis, joints and kidneys are affected, in which uric acid salts are deposited. In advanced cases, arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, spondylosis, urolithiasis, urate nephropathy, interstitial nephritis develop.

Complications

Urosalt diathesis is a consequence of improper metabolism, which occurs due to poor nutrition, low fluid intake, inflammatory processes, and in most cases occurs in people with a hereditary predisposition to kidney disease.

Complications concern malfunctions in the functioning of the entire body and can occur if the necessary measures are not taken in time. Most often, gout, urolithiasis or renal failure develop. When the kidneys cannot cope with the load, then, along with urea salt (uric acid) diathesis, salt diathesis can also occur, in which organic substances are found in the urine. Other complications are also possible:

• mental disorder;
• allergic dermatitis;
• disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;
• acute nephropathy.

Gout is one of the forms of uric acid diathesis, which develops as a result of a decrease in the amount of uric acid due to kidney dysfunction. In this case, the joints of the limbs are affected (arthritis develops). This process is accompanied by reddening of the skin, swelling of the joint, and pain syndrome.

Newborns may experience uric acid infarction, a pathology in which urates appear in the child's urine. This condition is not dangerous and usually goes away in a couple of weeks. The causes of uric acid infarction may be transient kidney failure, intestinal disorders, and lack of fluid in the body.

Diagnostics urinary diathesis

Urosalt diathesis requires a correct diagnosis based on several diagnostic approaches: clinical (patient history and complaints), laboratory (test results) and instrumental (use of various techniques and methods to clarify the characteristics of the pathological process).

Diagnosis of urea salt diathesis is carried out by a urologist or nephrologist and, in addition to a detailed survey of the patient, includes the following methods:

• general blood test (allows to detect the presence of an inflammatory process);
• biochemical blood test (necessary to determine the concentration of uric acid);
• blood pH test;
• extensive and daily urine analysis;
• Ultrasound of internal organs (bladder, kidneys, ureters).

For accurate diagnosis of metabolic acidosis, i.e. disturbance of the acid-base balance in the body, additional examinations of the liver and lungs are required. After analyzing the medical examination data, the doctor will prescribe adequate treatment for the patient. Timely diagnosis is the most important step on the path to recovery, since it allows preventing the development of a dangerous complication - urolithiasis - and to get by with only conservative methods of treating uric acid diathesis.

Tests

Urosalt diathesis has scant symptoms, which often leads to late diagnosis of the pathological condition, its transition to the stage of disease development and the occurrence of complications.

When a patient contacts a urologist with complaints of symptoms characteristic of damage to the excretory system (bladder, urethra and kidneys), the doctor begins a diagnostic search and prescribes the following tests:

• general urine analysis (to detect leukocytes, bacteria, erythrocytes, protein, salt inclusions);
• general blood test (for indirect confirmation of the inflammatory process due to the presence of sand in the kidneys);
• blood biochemistry (allows to detect an increase in creatinine and urea, a decrease in plasma protein during the development of renal failure);
• bacteriological analysis of urine (to identify the infectious agent);
• bacteriological blood test (in case of complications and severe course of the disease);
• additional urine tests (according to Nechiporenko, Zemnitsky, etc.) to clarify the number of leukocytes and erythrocytes and assess kidney function.

Based on the results of laboratory tests, the doctor evaluates the patient's condition, the characteristics of the pathology, the presence of complications, acute and chronic forms of kidney disease. Then an effective treatment regimen is prescribed, aimed at eliminating symptoms and restoring body functions.

Instrumental diagnostics

Urosalt diathesis is diagnosed using complex methods that allow us to identify the pathology, determine the stage of development of the disease, the presence of complications and concomitant diseases.

Instrumental diagnostics involves the use of special equipment and is aimed not only at clarifying the diagnosis, but also at eliminating suspicions of certain health problems. The "gold" standard of diagnostics is ultrasound of the kidneys and other organs of the excretory system. With the help of ultrasound examination, it is possible to identify:

• presence of sand in the kidneys;
• presence of an inflammatory process;
• localization of stones and determination of their linear dimensions;
• degree of change in renal tissue.

Excretory urography is an informative diagnostic method that allows an objective assessment of the functional properties of the kidneys. It is performed by introducing a contrast agent, after which a series of images are taken.

Survey radiography is prescribed to the patient to detect radiopaque shadows in the projection of the excretory organs, which indicate concretions (stones). Magnetic resonance urography is necessary to determine the level of obstruction of the urinary tract due to the presence of stones. A number of additional radiological studies (as indicated) include: retrograde (ascending) ureteropyelography and antegrade pyelography.

Computer tomography is more sensitive than ultrasound. This method allows for a detailed anatomical and functional characteristics of the kidneys and urinary tract, as well as for specifying the localization and structural density of stones and identifying possible urinary tract anomalies and concomitant diseases of the abdominal organs.

The assignment of a specific type of examination and evaluation of the results is within the competence of a medical specialist. Making a diagnosis requires taking into account all the data obtained - both clinical and laboratory-instrumental indicators.

Differential diagnosis

Urosalt diathesis is a borderline condition that has symptoms similar to those of other diseases, especially at the stage of developing complications or the addition of concomitant diseases.

Differential diagnostics is based on the patient's medical history and complaints, as well as laboratory test data (in particular, clinical urine analysis). The presence of increased amounts of uric acid can also be observed in cancer patients (leukemia). Increased and crystallized calcium phosphates are found in patients with increased stomach acidity, urinary tract infections, as well as rheumatic diseases, acute or chronic cholecystitis, pancreatitis, renal tuberculosis, renal malformations, and spinal cord pathologies. Inflammatory diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract trigger a mechanism of urine stagnation, which can lead to the development of urolithiasis. A polyp or adenoma of the prostate gland often serves as an "obstacle" to the outflow of urine.

When establishing a diagnosis of uric acid diathesis, the anamnesis data and the characteristics of the clinical course of the disease are taken into account in comparison with the results of a comprehensive medical examination of the patient.

Treatment urinary diathesis

Uric acid diathesis is a feature of the human body to produce uric acid. When it is produced in excess quantities, its crystals form insoluble compounds and urate stones in the tissues and organs of the excretory system. Such pathological changes occur when exposed to unfavorable factors (poor nutrition, stress, concomitant diseases).

Treatment of uric acid diathesis is primarily based on following a diet that limits salt and protein intake and significantly increases the daily fluid intake. Purine-containing foods (meat, poultry, fish, legumes, citrus fruits, cocoa, etc.) are prohibited.

Depending on the patient's condition and the course of the pathological process, the doctor prescribes conservative treatment methods - medications aimed at reducing uric acid and alkalizing urine (Potassium citrate, Kalinor, Soluran, Urotsit). Diuretics that help get rid of concentrated urine, as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have an effective effect.

Medicines that help inhibit xanthine oxidase and prevent excessive formation of uric acid (for example, Allopurinol) are also prescribed. Vitamin and mineral complexes are prescribed to stimulate metabolic processes. In addition, homeopathic remedies and herbal preparations are prescribed (Lycopodium, Canephron H, Causticum).

If the pathological process has provoked the development of gout, the drug Colchicine is used to stop attacks. To alleviate the patient's condition, the following physiotherapeutic methods are used:

• ultraviolet radiation;
• ultrasound therapy;
• magnetic therapy;
• laser and/or magnetic laser therapy;
• singlet oxygen method.

Maximum results can be achieved by combining several treatment methods. If kidney stones have formed and drug treatment is ineffective, it is time for surgical intervention.

Medicines

Urosalt diathesis is not an independent disease, so there are no specific therapeutic methods aimed at its complete elimination. The treatment regimen concerns the relief of symptoms, and medications are prescribed to reduce the concentration of uric acid and when stones are detected.

Medications commonly used to treat excess uric acid production include:

• Asparkam (removes oxalates and urate salts from the body);
• Blemaren (breaks down uric acid and removes it with urine);
• Allopurinol (activates enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of uric acid);
• Canephron (increases urine flow);
• Fitolizin, Urolesan (remove salts);
• Enterosorbents (Enterosgel);
• Vitamin and mineral complex preparations (optimize metabolic processes).

To dissolve stones, a specialist may prescribe Cyston or Fitolizon to the patient. However, increasing daily diuresis (flushing) is strictly contraindicated when large stones are detected, since diuretics can provoke obstruction of the urinary tract.

The need for surgery arises only when uric acid diathesis progresses to urolithiasis, resulting in large stones. It should be noted that even after sand is removed and stones are removed, there is a tendency to form them. Thus, the patient must adhere to a special diet for life and visit the attending physician at least once a year for repeated examinations.

Folk remedies

Urosalt diathesis requires a comprehensive approach to eliminating symptoms and alleviating the patient's condition. The main goal of therapy is to reduce the concentration of uric acid.

Traditional treatment comes down to eating foods that can alkalize the body: plant foods, fresh juices, vegetables and fruits, structured water. Diet is the basis for successfully eliminating the disease, so the patient must clearly understand this and monitor healthy eating.

Traditional medicine offers infusions and decoctions prepared from one plant component for the treatment of uric acid diathesis. For example, you can use knotweed in crushed form (5 tablespoons per 1 liter of water - pour boiling water and store in a thermos; consume throughout the day; carry out treatment for at least 1 week). Pour boiling water over the rhizomes and parsley greens (1 dessert spoon of crushed raw materials per 1 glass of water), leave for several hours and consume during the day in three doses.

Rose hips (roots, seeds, fruits) will help with phosphaturia and oxaluria. They can be added to herbal mixtures or prepared as a separate infusion. To do this, chop 2 tablespoons of rhizome and pour a glass of boiling water over them, then boil for 15 minutes and leave for two hours. It is recommended to drink this medicinal infusion all day through a straw, the course of treatment is 2 weeks.

For the preparation of herbal infusions, plants such as stinging nettle, yarrow (grass), celandine, corn silk, and barberry leaves are suitable. Phytomixtures are poured with water, infused for a day, then boiled and taken as tea.

Herbal treatment

Urosalt diathesis is successfully treated with medicinal herbs, which should be selected by a doctor. The main condition for herbal therapy is the absence of kidney stones (diuretic herbs are strictly prohibited in this case).

Herbal treatment consists of taking infusions and decoctions of the following herbal ingredients:

• knotweed;
• birch buds;
• corn silk;
• bear ears;
• St. John's wort;
• sorrel;
• rhubarb;
• hellebore, etc.

Madder, buckthorn roots, buckthorn fruits, St. John's wort, soapwort roots, horsetail grass contain anthraglycosides and saponins. Such herbs can be combined in the form of herbal mixtures and taken as decoctions and infusions for 1-2 weeks.

Below are recipes using medicinal plants:

• Dill (seeds (1 tbsp.) are poured with boiling water (a glass) and infused for an hour, after which they are taken three times a day, one tablespoon at a time).
• Lingonberry (pour 20 grams of leaves with a glass of boiling water, then leave for half an hour, take 1 tablespoon three times a day).
• Birch (boil the leaves for 15 minutes, let the decoction sit for half an hour, strain, take 50 grams during meals).
• Knotweed (pour 1 tbsp. with a glass of hot boiled water, leave in a water bath for 20 minutes, then cool and strain, take a third of a glass before meals).

A collection of diuretic herbs is used to treat and prevent kidney diseases and most often includes juniper, parsley, stinging nettle, rose hips, birch leaves, knotweed. Diuretic herbs are part of kidney teas for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system. These are succession, rose hips, dill, field horsetail, burdock, lovage, parsley, nettle. For inflammatory processes, collections of chamomile flowers, juniper berries, dandelion root, horsetail, parsley seeds, nettle leaves, calendula, and calamus root are used.

The following mixture helps well: wild carrot seeds, horsetail, and celandine grass in equal proportions, pour 2 tbsp. boiling water and leave for 24 hours. Take 2 tbsp three times a day before meals. The course of treatment should be 4-5 weeks.

Pharmaceutical diuretic herbal preparations should not be taken in cases of increased stomach acidity, gastritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, and prostate adenoma.

Homeopathy

Urosalt diathesis is eliminated with homeopathic preparations, which must be prescribed by a doctor. Self-medication can be dangerous, since herbal substances with a diuretic effect cannot be used in the presence of already formed stones.

Homeopathy for urosal diathesis includes the use of the following drugs:

• Kidney mixture Danika (stimulates immunity, has a diuretic, tonic and anti-inflammatory effect, suppresses the growth of pathogenic flora and prevents the formation of urinary stones). Composition of the preparation: juniper berries, knotweed herb, goldenrod, horsetail, rose hips, birch leaves and calamus root.
• Urtica urens (a preparation based on nettles that reduces the amount of uric acid, removes sand, and also relieves gout attacks).
• Sarsaparilla – eliminates symptoms that accompany problems with the urinary system, in particular, painful urination.
• Benzoic acidum is used for various diseases of the excretory system, including renal failure.
• Ledum palustre (marsh wild rosemary) has proven itself as an effective remedy for reducing uric acid; it is used for joint pathologies (gout).
• Colchicum (a preparation based on colchicum) - helps relieve inflammation and removes sand.

Separately, we can note the drug Canephron N, which is used for the complex treatment of urinary tract diseases, including the presence of kidney stones. The drug contains lovage, centaury, rosemary. Its effect is multifaceted: it reduces the amount of protein, relieves inflammation, has a diuretic property, eliminates spasms of the urinary tract, changes the acidity of urine.

Surgical treatment

Urosalt diathesis can be complicated by the formation of stones (urates, phosphates), which in some cases can be broken down by the action of special medications.

Surgical treatment is used in advanced cases, if it is impossible to crush the stones with medication due to their large size and the risk of blocking the urinary tract. Operations can be performed openly if there is a urinary obstruction and the need to remove the kidney or part of it. An alternative method is endoscopic surgery, which achieves less traumatic removal of stones.

Today, non-invasive methods of treatment are used in surgery, which do not require full access to the organ. Such operations are performed using ultrasound or laser. The choice of surgical intervention method depends on the individual case and the patient's health condition. Remote and endoscopic lithotripsy are modern methods of bloodless surgery that are based on the use of ultrasound waves to crush stones. The advantages of these surgical treatment methods include the absence of a long recovery period, as well as the possibility of performing operations on patients with concomitant diseases.

Diet for urinary diathesis

Urosalt diathesis must be "treated" with proper nutrition - this is the main goal of therapy. First of all, you should limit salt consumption, take care to introduce various vitamins into the diet, drink more fluids (2-2.5 liters).

The diet for urosalt diathesis should be based on enriching the diet with potassium salts, which reduce the concentration of uric acid and urates, and also have an effective diuretic effect. Products rich in calcium are milk, kefir and cottage cheese, as well as fresh fruits and berries, mineral alkaline waters (like Borjomi).

It is imperative to exclude fatty foods - meat and meat broths, sausages, fish dishes, smoked meats. You should give up strong tea and coffee, cocoa and chocolate. Among healthy products, we can note sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, juices, fruit drinks and compotes from dried fruits.

Patients with problems with the urinary system are prescribed diet No. 6, which includes the following products:

• bread (white/gray wheat, unsalted);
• milk (dry, whole, condensed);
• fermented milk products: cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt, sour cream and cream;
• soups (vegetable and cereal, fruit, milk);
• borscht and beetroot soup;
• pasta;
• low-fat varieties of fish, boiled and baked;
• lean pork, beef, veal, lamb (boiled, baked);
• cereals (any);
• sauces (milk, vegetable, sour cream);
• cookie.

Sample menu for a diet for uric acid diathesis:

• Breakfast No. 1: cottage cheese pancake (or bread with butter), vegetable salad, tea with milk.
• Breakfast No. 2: buckwheat or other porridge (with milk if possible), dried fruit compote.
• Lunch: borscht with sour cream, boiled potatoes, baked fish, freshly squeezed fruit juice.
• Dinner No. 1: rice patties with sauce, vegetable salad, berry jelly.
• Dinner No. 2: dry biscuits, rosehip infusion (possibly with honey).

So, for urosalt diathesis and kidney problems, a predominantly dairy-vegetable diet is recommended.

Prevention

Urosalt diathesis and its complications are easier to prevent, first of all, by following a strict diet with the consumption of lean meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, cereals, milk, etc. If such a problem is identified, the doctor will prescribe a diet after a complete examination of the patient.

Prevention of the disease includes avoiding smoked and fried foods, salty and fatty foods, rich meat broths, coffee, strong tea, and cocoa. It is better to boil, bake, or stew dishes. In hot weather, drinking carbonated water is not recommended. It is better to drink plain water, fruit drinks, dried fruit compote, and fruit and berry juices.

Preventive measures for uric acid diathesis also include:

• timely diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases;
• giving up bad habits (drinking alcohol);
• dosing of physical activity;
• stress management;
• normalization of work and rest regime;
• limiting the consumption of salt and protein foods;
• healthy, active lifestyle.

Unfortunately, there are hereditary factors for the development of uric acid diathesis that a person cannot influence. However, everyone should remember the general rules of a healthy lifestyle.

Forecast

Urosalt diathesis may not manifest itself under normal living conditions and proper, rational nutrition. If the diagnosis is nevertheless established, and timely measures are taken to eliminate unpleasant symptoms and treat the pathology, the prognosis is very favorable. In unadvanced cases, the patient will be prescribed conservative treatment.

In severe cases of the disease with the appearance of stones and the development of pathology into urolithiasis, surgical intervention is indicated followed by systematic treatment of pyelonephritis. In case of minor disturbances in the process of urine outflow and detection of small stones after surgery, the patient is shown sanatorium and resort treatment. The most difficult situations are when multiple stones with complications in the human excretory system are observed. A fatal outcome is possible in case of untimely treatment of the patient during an acute attack.

Urosalt diathesis requires the patient to pay close attention to their lifestyle and diet, as well as their health. If the first symptoms of kidney disease appear, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination immediately and in no case to self-medicate.
