Dietary sodium is a major determinant of urinary calcium loss (1) . High-sodium intake results in increased loss of calcium in the urine, possibly due to competition between sodium and calcium for reabsorption in the kidneys or by an effect of sodium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.
Limit your salt and protein intake. Reduce your sodium intake to 3 g or less per day and consume meat protein in moderation. Salt increases calcium in the urine, which can complicate calcium-based kidney stones. Some studies suggest that sodium also increases urate, a substance that triggers kidney stone formation.
