Can you drink alcohol with kidney stones?

Alcohol is not recommended for kidney stones, and alcohol can cause further aggravation of stone symptoms. Stones may be caused by calcium oxalate stones. Alcohol can affect the metabolism of uric acid, thus promoting the occurrence of calcium oxalate stones, and drinking alcohol will lead to further aggravation of the symptoms of vascular congestion and edema, which will make it difficult for the stones to be discharged and exacerbate the symptoms of inflammation, so it is not recommended to drink alcohol. Smaller stones can be discharged by bouncing or drinking more water, and if necessary, you can take lithotripsy drugs to promote the discharge of stones. If the stone is larger than 1cm, you can be treated by ultrasonic lithotripsy, and during the treatment period, you should maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. To summarize, if you suffer from kidney stones, you should consult a doctor in time.
