Is it good for patients with kidney stones to drink beer?

If a man does not drink or smoke, he is not a man. This is just a saying among people, but smoking and drinking are of no benefit to people. Having said that, no one can abstain from alcohol, and drinking is inevitable during dinner and social gatherings. So, for patients with kidney stones, especially male friends, can they drink alcohol? I hope the following introduction to relevant knowledge will be helpful to everyone.

Kidney stones may exist for a long time without obvious symptoms, especially larger stones. Smaller stones have a larger range of motion. When small stones enter the ureteropelvic junction or ureter, they cause violent peristalsis of the ureter to promote the excretion of stones, resulting in clinical symptoms of colic and hematuria.

It is worth noting that if you drink too much beer, you are likely to develop kidney stones. Because the weather is hot in summer, people sweat a lot and drink less water, the urine concentration is high, and crystals are easily deposited in the urine. In addition, if people do not exercise regularly and do not pay attention to their diet, they are more likely to develop kidney stones.

Nowadays, many people replace water with beverages or even beer in summer, which is extremely unscientific. Beer is high in purine, which is broken down into uric acid after being absorbed by the human body. People who drink beer frequently have high uric acid concentrations and are prone to kidney stones. Therefore, drinking too much beer can easily lead to kidney stones. Patients with stones should also avoid drinking beer.

To sum up, this is some introduction about why patients with kidney stones should not drink alcohol in their daily lives. I hope it will be helpful to you. If you suffer from kidney stones, you should pay attention to your lifestyle and eating habits.

Kidney stones are a metabolic disease. Among many kidney stone patients, 80% have calcium oxalate stones. Alcohol can aggravate the formation of calcium oxalate crystals and can also lead to purine metabolism disorders, making it easy to form kidney stones. Drinking alcohol will cause kidney stone patients to have symptoms such as severe pain in the waist and abdomen, cold sweats all over the body, nausea, etc. If they drink alcohol frequently, especially beer, it may also induce gout.

These patients with kidney stones who like to drink or have a lot of social activities should be careful in their future life. They must strictly demand themselves and try not to drink if they can. If they have kidney stones, they must seek medical attention in time, but they cannot seek medical treatment blindly. They must adopt the correct treatment plan in time to solve the problem fundamentally and finally achieve the effect of complete cure. There are many methods for treating kidney stones, such as drug stone removal, surgical stone removal, extracorporeal lithotripsy and non-invasive (TSL) therapy, etc. Patients must make reasonable choices based on the size of the stones, physical condition, etc. Only in this way can they be more casual in diet and life.

Patients with kidney stones should drink less alcohol in normal times. Alcohol intake has a certain irritation to the symptoms of kidney stones, and drinking may also induce symptoms of abdominal pain and lower back pain caused by kidney stones. Patients with kidney stones should rest more, drink plenty of water, and actively take medication to remove and dissolve the stones in their daily lives.

Patients should take more calcium supplements. So, why do they still need to take calcium when stones are made of calcium salts? Because the more calcium there is, the more fully it will combine with oxalic acid, and it will be excreted from the body, which will cause much less calcium to be absorbed by the intestines, and of course, will reduce the possibility of developing stones. So patients can drink more milk and don’t worry.
