incr. diet for calcium stones?

A

increase K intake; moderate calcium intake

35
Q

A

Calcium oxalate

36
Q

Risk factor for what stone? recurrent Infection of urease positive bugs (proteus, saprophyticus, klebsiela)

A

Struvite

37
Q

Risk factor for what stone?

Gout

A

uric acid

38
Q

Risk factor for what stone? Myeloproliferative disorders (due to cell turnover)

A

uric acid

39
Q

Risk factor for what stone? dehydration?

A

all types

40
Q

Treatment of uric acid?

A

urine alkalinization, allopurinol

41
Q

for what stones allopurinol is treatment?

A

uric acid

42
Q

Struvite treatment?

A

stone removal (staghorn), suppressive a/b (erradication of infection)

43
Q

Staghorn calculi?

A

struvite

44
Q

why urease+ bacterias predispose struvite?

A

urease hydrolyzes urea to ammonia –> urine alkalinization

45
Q

what stones may be nidus for UTI?
