Kidney Stones Calcium
Supplements
There are different
recommendation about use of calcium and calcium supplements.
As far as the prevention of kidney stone is concerned, the
dietician suggests the prescription about calcium intake
according to the physical body of such person. So the calcium
intake guidelines are according to the age, gender, size of
the body and type od the kidney stone from which a person is
suffering.
According to the
various medical studies, the calcium that finds in the food
like milk, yogurt and cheese defend the body from kidney stone
like calcium oxalate. Also medical study on both men and women
stated that those person who have higher capacity of taking
calcium foods possesses a very lower risk for kidney stones
than the person who has little calcium intake in their diet.
When there is a balance
mixture of normal calcium intake and less amount of protein
from animal and salt , then that person can defend the kidney
stones healthier than a low-calcium course of therapy.
There is change in the
metabolism of calcium intake according to the growing age of
person. Some medical studies state that higher intake of
calcium in the younger men protect kidney stone than men
having 60 age.
There is the mixture of
oxalate in foods when we take calcium in our diet. This
dietary calcium assist our body by stop oxalate stone which is
going to be captivated into the blood and also exert it in the
form of urine.
There is the supplement
of 80% calcium of the daily diet from dairy products which is
used in a normal healthy diet. So if there is a avoidance of
calcium intake, then that cause bone loss for the person who
is already suffering from calcium stones which is linked with
resorption. This resorption is nothing but breakdown of the
bone which discharge calcium into bloodstream.
As far as intake of
calcium supplements is concerned, the medical studies suggest
that these calcium supplements decrease the level of oxalate
and so it helps to prevent calcium stones in the kidney. If
you take 500 mg calcium supplements per day regularly, then it
will reactivate the intestine to absorb less amount of
calcium.
The medical experts
normally have the same opinion that supplements of calcium
having recommended dosages should be nearly 1,200 mg per day.
Yet, one studey
indicates that women who took calcium supplements had a 20%
higher risk for stones. Research indicates that dosages of
calcium above 2,000 mg per day are clearly related with kidney
stone formation. Few experts argue that this higher risk
occurs due to supplements that are often taken in the morning,
either without food or with breakfast, which is typically low
in oxalates. Risk of formation of such kidney stones is
reduced if these supplements are taken after meals.
In some medical cases
the restriction of calcium is very necessary, Some patients,
such as those whose stones are caused by genetic defects that
promote the excess absorbtion of calcium by the intestines,
have to reduce the daily calcium intake.
