16 Jul 20243 things you need to know before a 24 hour urine collection00:15:28

Before doing a 24-hour urine collection for kidney stone prevention, there are three important things to know. First, you should eat like you did when you were forming kidney stones to see how those foods affected your urine chemistry. Second, stop taking vitamins that have not been prescribed by a doctor three to five days before the collection, as some vitamins can interfere with the test. Third, make sure to follow the instructions for the urine collection and submit it on time. It is also important to do follow-up tests and address any high urine calcium levels to prevent osteoporosis.

Takeaways

  • Eat like you did when you were forming kidney stones to see how those foods affected your urine chemistry.
  • Stop taking vitamins that have not been prescribed by a doctor three to five days before the urine collection.
  • Follow the instructions for the urine collection and submit it on time.
  • Do follow-up tests and address any high urine calcium levels to prevent osteoporosis.


Sound Bites

  • "You know you need a 24 hour urine collection, but these are three things you need to know before doing the 24 hour urine collection."
  • "The first thing you should be aware of before you do a 24 hour urine collection is you're supposed to eat like you did when you were forming kidney stones."
  • "Stop taking vitamins that have not been prescribed by a doctor three to five days before you do a urine collection."

20 Aug 2024Does Ozempic cause kidney stones?00:12:26

In this episode, Jill discusses the potential link between the weight loss medication Ozempic (semaglutide) and kidney stones. While there is no direct scientific evidence on this topic, she analyzes the known side effects of Ozempic and how they could increase the risk of kidney stones.

Dehydration, caused by side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite, can lead to an increased risk of kidney stones. She emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated and consulting with a doctor if experiencing severe side effects. She also discusses the need for proper nutrition and long-term lifestyle changes after using weight loss medications.


Takeaways

  • There is no direct scientific evidence linking Ozempic (semaglutide) to kidney stones, but the known side effects of the medication can increase the risk of kidney stones.
  • Side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite can lead to dehydration, which is a major risk factor for kidney stone formation.
  • It is important to stay hydrated and consult with a doctor if experiencing severe side effects while taking Ozempic.
  • Proper nutrition and long-term lifestyle changes are crucial after using weight loss medications to prevent weight regain and associated health issues.

Sound Bites

  • "Dehydration mainly, for me, absolutely can cause an increased risk of kidney stones."
  • "If you're not hungry, so you're not eating properly, you're not getting your calcium needs met, you're throwing up all the time, you have diarrhea, throwing up and having diarrhea, you're going to lose a lot of fluids. And if you're nauseous, it's gonna be really hard to get fluids back in. So the dehydration mainly, for me, absolutely can cause an increased risk of kidney stones."
  • "If you're experiencing really robust side effects from the drug Ozempic, please talk to your doctor so they can understand what to do with you and that you can feel better."

00:39 The Rise of Weight Loss Medications and Their Impact

21 Jan 2025Don't start a gluten-free diet before hearing this00:12:54

This conversation explores the implications of gluten-free diets, particularly in relation to kidney health. Jill Harris discusses how gluten-free diets often lead to the overconsumption of high-oxalate foods, such as almond flour, which can increase the risk of kidney stones. The discussion also highlights the importance of reading nutrition labels, as many gluten-free products contain high levels of sodium and sugar, which can further exacerbate kidney stone risks.

  • Gluten-free diets can lead to kidney stone formation.
  • Almond flour is high in oxalate and should be consumed cautiously.
  • Many gluten-free products contain high levels of sodium and sugar.

She explores the importance of calcium in the diet, especially for individuals with osteoporosis, and the potential risks associated with calcium supplementation.
