Urinary Health Urinary Health Basics

If you've had kidney stones, changing your diet can help reduce your risk of forming new kidney stones.


Sometimes following a special diet may be enough to prevent you from forming more kidney stones. Other times, diet and medications may be needed. You may be asked to make changes to the amount of salt, calcium, oxalate, protein, potassium and fluid in your diet. It is important that you drink at least three to four quarts of fluid throughout the day. In hotter weather, you may need to drink more to make up for fluid loss from sweating. This will help keep your urine less concentrated. Less concentrated urine reduces the risk of stone formation. Most of the fluid you drink should be water. Reducing the amount of animal protein may help. Sources of animal protein include beef, chicken, pork, fish and eggs. Most people need only four to six ounces of high protein foods and three servings of milk or cheese a day. Check with your doctor or dietitian before making changes to your diet.
