The Link Between Uric Acid & Kidney Stones

“Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your urine can dilute.”

- Mayo Clinic

THE EXPERTS

“Uric acid stones occur in 10% of all kidney stones and are the second most-common cause of urinary stones after calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate calculi. The most important risk factor for uric acid crystallization and stone formation is a low urine pH (below 5.5)...”

- PubMed

“If too much uric acid stays in the body, a condition called hyperuricemia will occur. Hyperuricemia can cause crystals of uric acid (or urate) to form. These crystals can settle in the joints and cause gout, a form of arthritis that can be very painful. They can also settle in the kidneys and form kidney stones.”

Guide to Kidney Stones

"What's that pain in my back?"

"Why is my urine discolored?"

"It feels like I have to urinate all the time!"

Sound familiar? There are few things less fun than having a kidney stone. Depending on the size, you may need a procedure to rid yourself of the small rocky build-up. While they can vary in size, stones below 5 mm can pass in the majority of cases without intervention.

When dealing with kidney stones, it's better to prevent a condition than to have to take corrective action. There are many factors that create the different crystal formations leading to stones. Including genetic predisposition toward developing stones, diet, and weight.

Ultimately, kidney stones are an accumulation of crystal forming material inside your kidneys. Your kidneys are responsible for filtering your blood and are a vital organ. The danger of developing stones is that they will block the exit of urine from the kidney. This can cause infection and damage to the kidney.

It makes sense then that your body lets you know about this threat by sending high levels of pain from the afflicted area.

So what should you do if you worry about kidney stones? First, consult a physician about any immediate concern you have about kidney stone symptoms. These stones can often be seen with an MRI or Ultrasound machine to confirm. If you've had a kidney stone before, your doctor will likely have examined the stone to determine composition and likely causes. The information that follows will pertain to Kidney Stones caused by Uric Acid and Gout.

What is Uric Acid?

Uric Acid is a waste product filtered from your blood. Your body accumulates this acid when breaking down foods called purines. In the normal function of a body, uric acid will dissolve in the blood to be passed through the kidneys and into the urine to be expelled.

When this material is not appropriately filtered out, it can accumulate in joints and extremities, as well as inside your kidneys. These formations of crystal can become quite painful in joints and dangerous when not passed out in your urine after being filtered. They can also cause swelling and inflammation in the afflicted areas, which can lead to a decrease in function and quality of life.

The Best Ingredients

Nettle has a long history of use as a medicinal plant. Urtica dioica has traditionally been used in the control of cardiovascular disorders, especially hypertension. Extracts are used as anti-inflammatory remedies for rheumatoid arthritis.

Boswellia Serrate gum-resin extracts of Boswellia serrata have been traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries for various chronic inflammatory diseases. The resinous part of Boswellia serrata possesses acetyl-β-boswellic acid, largely responsible for inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes.

Birch species belonging to the genus Betulaare widely used in traditional medicine. Specifically, it's been found to be potentially useful for degenerative joint disease.

Celery is thought to relax artery wall tissues to promote healthy blood flow. This increased blood flow may lead to lower blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic. Celery is also loaded with antioxidants which help to prevent the oxidative stress.

Devil's Claw is a plant native to the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. It is used for arthritis, indigestion, and skin conditions. Many of the benefits of devil's claw are attributed to a compound known as harpagoside that is believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.

Alfalfa as a natural diuretic, promotes urine flow, which can help to clear out harmful bacteria and waste products, like uric acid.

The Right Delivery Method

Food

Changing your diet to exclude foods high in purines is one of the first ways you can try to adjust pH balance to ensure you are properly expelling the waste from the food you eat.

Changing your diet can require active tracking of what and when you eat that many people find taxing.

Additionally, including these foods as regular staples may begin to feel limiting, repetitive, or even expensive.

The biggest obstacle for most people is the amount of extra cooking this entails.

Liquids

If you are looking for an easier method than picking up cooking and are sensitive to swallowing pills, a tincture is a great option for you.

The nutrients in a liquid tincture are often extracted using 50% v/v ethanol, therefore the body absorbs them quicker and with a greater bio-availability.

The body does not need to digest the tincture, like it does with Food or Capsules, so the catalysts enter the body faster.

Capsules

If you're looking for a quick solution and are sensitive to taste, then the capsule may be a better option for you. The capsules do not have any flavor or aftertaste.

Capsules are great for on the go, if you do not have time to measure and mix a liquid tincture with your drink.

Some tinctures have a small amount of medical grade alcohol, if you are sensitive to alcohol, the capsules may be a better option.
