KIDNEY STONES
March 21, 2016
Hey team
Too many of us are being diagnosed with kidney disease or the early signs of kidney disease, such as stones. There are two types of kidney stones:
1. Calcium Oxalate about 75%
2 URIC ACID
A kidney stone is a solid piece of material which is formed in the kidneys from minerals in urine.[1] Kidney stones typically leave the body in the urine stream, and a small stone may pass without causing symptoms.[1] If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.1 in)) they can cause blockage of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly beginning in the flank or lower back and often radiating to the groin. This pain is often known as renal colic and typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes. Other associated symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, fever, blood in the urine, pus in the urine, and painful urination. Blockage of the ureter can cause decreased kidney function and dilation of the kidney.
Most stones form due to a combination of genetics and environmental factors.[1]
Risk factors include:
1.Being overweight,
2. certain foods,
3. some medications,
4. Insufficient water intake
The diagnosis is usually based on symptoms, urine testing, and medical imaging.[1] Blood tests may also be useful.[1] Urinary stones are typically classified by their location in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis), or bladder (cystolithiasis), or by their chemical composition (calcium-containing, struvite,uric acid, or other compounds).
