Kidney crystals generally refer to kidney stones, and there may be a correlation between kidney stones and long-term consumption of strong tea.
Kidney stones refer to crystalline substances (such as oxalate, urate, calcium, etc.) precipitated from the urine and deposited in the kidneys, belonging to the upper urinary tract stones, of which oxalate stones and oxalic acid intake related. Strong tea contains a certain amount of oxalic acid, if you drink strong tea for a long time, it can lead to excessive intake of oxalic acid, accumulation in the body and the formation of oxalate stones.
Thus, it can be seen that there is a certain correlation between kidney stones and drinking strong tea for a long time, and drinking strong tea for a long time can increase the possibility of oxalate stone formation.
The basic causes of kidney stones are metabolic abnormalities, local factors in the urinary tract (urinary stasis, urinary tract infections), drug factors (such as aminopterin, indinavir, acetazolamide, etc.), and at the same time, poor dietary habits, such as long-term intake of large amounts of high-protein, high-sodium, high-sucrose, oxalic acid-rich foods can also induce the formation of kidney stones.
It is recommended that patients with kidney stones go to a regular hospital in time, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and strive for early recovery.
