Nutritional and Medical Management of Kidney Stones

Abstract

This chapter reviews the nutritional management of nephrolithiasis in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nutritional management of CKD is well documented and recommended by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (KDOQI). Overall recommendation for prevention of nephrolithiasis was developed by the American Urological Association (AUA) in 2014. CKD patients with nephrolithiasis need specific nutritional management to prevent recurrence of stones and meet adequate nutritional status for CKD. Nutrition assessment, drug-nutrient interactions, and nutrition recommendations should be individualized based on the different types of stones and CKD stage.
