Kidney stone-
A hard, crystalline mineral material and acid like calcium,uric acid formed within the kidney or urinary tract.
It is form when there is decrease in urine Volume and or an excess of stone-forming substances in the urine.
Hereditary factors and diet are also associated to stone formation.
A Ultasound ,intravenous pyleography (IVP), or a CT scan are important diagnosis.
Nephrolithiasis - medical term for kidney stones
Mostly kidney stone forms in women than man
Types of kidney stone-
kidney stone are made up of different crystal -
(1)calcium stone (calcium phosphate or maleate)- eating fever oxalate food can reduce your risk.
(2)uric acid- increase through urine’s acidic level.
(3)cystine stone — an acid that occurs naturally in the body.
(4) Struvite stone- found mostly in women with urinary tract infection (UTIs). These stones can be large and cause urinary obstruction, kidney infection.
Symptoms-
(1) severe, sharp, suden, continuous pain in lower back,side part of body and abdomen.
(2) Nausea & vomiting, often from the intense pain
(3) pain & buring during urination
(4)frequent urination
(5) blood in urine
(6) unplesent and odd smelling urine
(7) sweating
(8) kidney stones may get stuck in a ureter. This blockage can slow or stop the flow of urine
(9)chills & fever- sign of infection in kidney and urinary tract
Prevention of kidney stone/ causes-
(1)stay hydrated/ drinking more water
(2)take calcium rich food- Low-calcium diets may increase your kidney stone risk and your risk of osteopopsis.
(3) eat less animal protein -(avoid-beef, poultry, fish) animal protein are acidic and may increase urine acid. High urine acid may cause uric acid and calcium oxalate kidney stones.
(4) avoid vitamic C supplements
(5) eat less sodium-too much salt in the urine prevent calcium from being reabsorbed from the urine to the blood. This causes high urine calcium, which leads to kidney stones.
(6)Limiting oxalate-rich foods will help prevent the stones from forming.( eg-tea,beets,chocolate,sweet potatoes,etc)
If all these symptoms sign then consult with doctor. Thanks
