LEMON JUICE IN KIDNEY STONES

Pure Lemon juice ( half cup) every day increases citrate levels in urine. Citrates in urine helps in prevention of calcium stones. Lemonades are needed to be taken in larger quantities to supplement the same amount of citrate in the urine.Citrate is naturally occurring stone inhibitor ; it prevents stone crystallization. Crystallization is a first step of stone formation. Later the crystals aggregate to form Randals Plaque followed by stones. 
 
Orange juices/ grape juices  also increase citrates in urine but it has deleterious effect of increasing oxalates .So it is not recommended in renal stones.
