Kidney disease is one of the most painful condition. Often people do not know about kidney stones until the stones start passing from the kidneys down to bladder. Because the tube connecting kidneys and bladder are very thin diameter that is why passing stones many patients describe like “passing glasses”. Kidney stones are small or sometimes large shaped crystals that are formed from Uric acid, calcium. People say that more we drink the more liquid urine will be and that those who do not drink regular and the appropriate amount of liquid that cause cause kidneys stone due to high concentration of urine.
One of the causes that may lead to formation of kidney stones is when people have increase function of parathyroid glad, that is leads to increase wash our of calcium from bones into blood stream and that causes its increase in blood, when blood is filtered through kidneys then calcium can lead to stone production. The common cause of kidney stones:
pain n flank usually on the side of kidney stone, usually sudden onset and excruciating
due to severe pain some people may suffer from nausea and vomiting
sometimes it associated with temperature
as kidney while passing can scratch the pipe connecting kidney and bladder that can cause blood in urine
Prevention of kidney stones include, plenty of liquid to drink throughout the day, so that the concentration of urine if not high. The Sometimes having too much salt in your food also may lead to kidney stone production. It is also advised to avoid fizzy drinks but having lemon in your tea or if you add lemon to your regular diet it can reduce the chances of kidney stones.
Treatment of kidney stones:
people can spontaneously pass stones, when they drink plenty
if stones stuck, they the procedure called cystoscopy may help to remove stones sometimes laser to break stones down is necessary. If stone is stuck then it is useful to use stent in ureter.
when stones are in kidneys, then it is a method called lithotripsy can be used to break stones too.
Treatment but also prevention of kidney disease is very important in order to prevent the destruction of kidneys, as they belong to the main detoxication organs of our body but also kidneys take part in production of red blood cells. Prevention of kidney stones are very easy that is why we should not ignore it and take it seriosly.
