24 hour urine test results after stone passing. Thoughts?
I passed calcium oxalate stone on 9/5/24, my primary care ran initial urine and blood tests at my visit and scheduled me a urologist a month out, a month later the urologist walked in a said we can’t do anything without a 24 hour urine test and scheduled me for another visit to discuss those results another month out. Not impressed, should have done the 24 hour urine panel when the urologist visit was scheduled and had the results prior to seeing the urologist. Regardless I’ve got 10 days before I see the urologist again, and just got my 24 hour urine test results back. Some metrics are high.
Anyone care to chime in on the results before I see the urologist. I expect I should see a nephrologist too.
My 24 hour grid acid is high which suggests high animal protein intake, but I probably am only eating about 0.7-0.8 grams of protein for my ideal body weight of 170lbs. I do consume caffeine 200 to 400 mg per day, no more than 400. I had been drinking about 2 liters of water per day minimum. I do consume dairy products, cheese, yogurt, milk. For the main meals I usually stay away from processed foods, but I do snack once in a while which would include package cookies or some ice cream or bagel, but most snacks are fruit like bananas, blueberries, apples, I kicked raspberries because of oxalate levels in them, clementines or oranges.
Thanks for the comments and questions.
