Preventing Recurrence
Unfortunately, after you have had kidney stones, you are more likely to have them again. Thankfully, there are things that you can do to effectively reduce your chances of recurrence.
We believe that, in kidney stone management, stone removal is as important as prevention of recurrence.
Depending on your risk profile and medical needs, we will tailor a maintenance plan for you. Enquire now
Basic Risk Factors that You Should Monitor:
- Sodium Intake: Too much sodium increases the risk of kidney stones.
- Dehydration: This causes urine to become more concentrated than normal.
- Digestive Diseases: Certain diseases may affect the absorption of calcium and water.
- Obesity: A high BMI is linked to higher chances of developing kidney stones.
How We Customise An Effective Maintenance Plan
We will first conduct a detailed investigation to identify your risk profile, any contributing medical factors and the specific cause and composition of the kidney stones you had.
- Medical and Dietary History
- Blood and Urine Tests
- Imaging Tests
- Kidney Stone Analysis
From the results gathered, we will advise you on the lifestyle and dietary changes that you need to make, as well as medications that you may have to take in order to reduce the chances of recurrence.
