Question 2

can i take advocare weght loss products if im being treated for uric acid kidney stones. have not had stones in 5 years?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can.: You certainly can, especially if you want to throw your money away. These products are expensive and a simple low carbohydrate diet and exercising will be much more effective.

Question 3

can vitamin b6 helps to reduce uric acid level and kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

No: Most stones are caused by crystallization of calcium oxalate. The most common antidote is magnesium. Uric acid actually comes from the  metabolism of sugar and vitamin b1, which works closely with magnesium would be more likely to help rather than b6. Avoidance of sugar  may be a key factor.

Question 5

it it possible  for kidney stones to show up on ultrasound and not of ct scan if so what kind of stones would they be  (uric acid)?

Accepted Answer

Rarely.: Virtually all stones can be visualized by ct scanning, except for the very rare indinavir stone. Prior to the widespread use of ct, stones that do not show up on x-ray films, like uric acid stones, were called radiolucent. Ct scanning is much more sensitive for the detection of stones than an ultrasound, and it is unlikely that stone visible on ultrasound is not seen on ct.
