5. Current recommendations of total
fluid intake
• Varies between countries and organizations

NO data from RCTs
7. Fluid intake and Stone formation
• Epidemiology
• Highly prevalent world wide
• North America 7—13%
• Middle East 20%
8.
9. Fluid intake and Stone formation
Factors favor stone formation:
• Lower volume of water
• Low citrate level
• Increase in solutes e.g. Ca, oxalate, uric acid
and phosphate
10. Effect of supersaturation
Normal human urine
Ca Ox Concentation is 4 times
its sulibilty in water
In supersatureated urine : 11
times its sulubility
Fluid intake and Stone formation
11. Dietary factors
• Excess intake of animal protein, dietary sodium ,
refined sugars and food rich in oxalate
Obesity
Increase excretion of calcium , Oxalate and uric acid
Low pH through insulin resistance , along with
DM…….>Uric acid stones
Fluid intake and Stone formation
14. Hyper calciuria
•Ca restriction is not
recommended
•Diets with ca content >1gm/day
and low protein low sodium could
be protective
Hperoxaluria
•Low oxalat and normal to
high calcium REDUCE urinary
excretion
•Intake of pyridoxine reduce
excretion
Liberal fluid intake
15. II. Urinary Tract Infection
• Frequency of UTI is 50 times higher in adult women than
men
Estimated global incidence is at least 250 m/y.
Accurate estimation is difficult
outpatient basis.
based on symptomatology
Most common
E coli 70-90%
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
16. Impact of high fluid intake
• Diluting effect
• Flushing effect and washing out
• Shrinking effect and reducing available surface
area
• Maintenance of optimum urine pH
II. Urinary Tract Infection
17. Non randomized multivariate analysis
791 women teachers
Deliberately restrict fluid
Void once or not at all
Drink without restriction
Higher risk : RR 2.21, 95% CI 1.45-3.38
II. Urinary Tract Infection
18. III. Bladder cancer
• Forth most common in men
• Exposure to carcinogens e.g. aromatic amines
• High fluid intake may play a role in protection??
• Logical thinking
• No consensus has yet emerged
19. • Dietary intervention
• Low fruit: RR= 1.4
• low vegetable: RR= 1.16
• high fat intake :RR=1.37
Individual dietary constituents reduce risk IS
STILL unknown
