AT 57 I just STARTED drinking coffee for the first time in my life after the septic shock from kidney stone that damaged my kidneys and liver. One cup every morning to help my liver. 4 years later and all kidney and liver functions are normal
Had a kidney stone way back in 1976 and have not had one since. Six months prior to the stone, I installed a sodium based water softener system for the entire house water supply. I read that water softeners remove the free calcium and magnesium ions from the water replacing them with sodium ions and this can cause the formation of kidney stones in a significant percentage of the population. I have been drinking a fair amount of coffee for many years since.
It's interesting and I'm happy with these results bc I love ☕. The only thing I would emphasize is to get coffee that's organic and tested for mold and toxins bc that's the danger of coffee. Its often a reason why people get mold toxicity.
I've drank so much coffee in my life and never got "mold toxicity". Coffee needs to be wet to mold. Unless you are drinking week old cups of coffee, I don't think mold is a real problem. Even cheap brands are packaged correctly.
I really appreciate your efforts and I take into consideration your opinion. Iam a kidneys stones former and drink about 4 cups of coffee with a more water and I never had stonesfomation for a while. Thank you so much Dr.
My personal hypothesis is that: The scenario of persons in more chronic relative dehydration (stereotypical elderly in warmer environments, over dressed, relatively poor fluid intake), the diuretic coffee exacerbates their dehydrated state, thereby increasing the prevalence of stones. Conversely, in better typically hydrated cohorts the diuretic effect accounts for the decrease in incidence of stones.
As a very longtime kidney stonemaker, thank you for this very interesting research. I've written a lengthy comment on one of your other videos about my careful diet program, but to no avail.
I drink 5 XL cups of coffee a day and have never had a kidney stone in my life. My thought is, as long as you also drink water (which I do), pissing all the time should (logically) decrease stone formation.
I'm about to start to drink coffee for the first time in my life. Im 41 suffer from kidney stones. One question does tea have the same affect? I enjoy drinking tea more it has a calming effect on me. For example, Matcha tea.
What a coincidence! I just sat down on my recliner to enjoy my freshly made coffee and this video popped up on my RU-vid page. Is RU-vid now capable to see what we are doing at home or they have some advanced technology to track our personal daily routine?. Lol
Such a lovely person. Thank you for such insightful and helpful information. I'm relieved and encouraged to learn that coffee can reduce kidney stones. Could I supplement with citric acid as well? Additionally, you have a wonderfully calming voice; you'd be the perfect person to record children's books. 😊
Thank you for the kind words. Citric acid is a stone inhibitor. We give patients potassium citrate or sodium citrate (less often due to sodium content). However, the simplest thing is to start adding lemons and limes to water and everything else 😀
@@SELFPrinciple I should have asked, how many mgs per day of potassium citrate do you give patients? Also, can protinurea be caused by the hematoma which may result from kidney stones? Thank you again.😊
@@acmebrainsurgery K Citrate really depends on a number of factors. Usually, its between 5meq three times a day to 10meq three times per day. But I base it on 24 hour urine collections. Also, hematuria can show up as both blood and proteinuria on a dipstick. However, we quantify proteinuria to help determine if its more from the tubules (2 grams) or overflow in the case of light chains (0.5-2gm)
All very well but coffee is full of caffeine and if like me you suffer from high blood pressure coffee drinking unless its decaffeinated is a no no, so can I take it you can consume decalf safely without any risks and it would do the same regarding kidney stones.🤔
Is instant coffee real ??? Good or bad?? On the other hand, those calciums that create stones are from real food like proteins,vegetables and fruits or are from industrial calcium used in processed food like milk, bread, juices, canned food, etc?? I heard too much industrial calcium also affect other part of your body when it get full. THANK YOU FOR UR VIDEO DOCTOR!!! It is very well done and instructive to see both side of the product. Greetings from Peru 👍👍👍👍
I started drinking a couple cups in the morning and was diagnosed with my first stone about six months later. I was also eating a lot of nuts, protein, and dark chocolate, so I’m confused if coffee was a factor or not. I’ve since stopped eating nuts, chocolate, and high amounts of animal protein. Should coffee be eliminated as well?
I wonder if the results of that survey more coffee less stones holds up when you use lots of flavored coffee creamer? I've never had problems with Kidney Stones. Now at 72 (never smoked ,not a drinker I have found (after a CT scan) one small stone in my left kidney, and a larger stone that will need shock wave Lithotripsy in my right kidney. I guess I should have bought that Extended Warranty.
What about adding sugar and milk or creamers to the coffee. I've been drinking it black 50 years but lots of those I know add things. I've never had a problem but I have a friend that has had a couple of bouts with stones while drinking 1 to 1.5 cups a day full of sweetener and creamer or milk. I am at about 5 cups black per day now. I started at around 2cups age 8 and increased over the years now age 64. Thanks
Chanca Piedra is what comes to mind at first. But I think the Andreas Moritz kidney tea protcol is a very potent kidney cleanser, removing stones and cleaning other things too.
It's depressing that the medical profession continues to use bivariate analysis and assumptions. It was demonstrated in the late 50s and early 60s that bivariate analysis was useless for understanding biological phenomena (no answer to cause and effect). The answer is to use multi-variate analysis. It takes more time and effort and better collection of data whereas bivariate analysis always shows a correlation but no cause and effect so it's easier to get results and more research money but not better answers to the questions.
