KIDNEY STONE (RENAL CALCULUS) | CAUSE, SYMPTOMS & HOMEOPATHY
What are
kidney stones?
Kidney stones (also known as Nephrolithiasis
or Renal calculus) are small hard masses made up of crystals which are seen in
urinary tract (Kidney, urethra and ureter). These crystals are formed by
minerals and acid salts. Usually stones forms when the urine becomes
concentrated as minerals get crystallized and stick together.
Kidney stone is one of the most
painful condition. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the
urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms.
If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.12 in))
they can cause obstruction of the ureter.
National Institute of
Diabetes and Kidney Disease reports that about 1 million people in the United
States are treated for kidney stones each year.
Types of
kidney stones
Calcium
Calcium stones are the most common. They can be made of
calcium oxalate (most common), phosphate, or maleate. Oxalate is a naturally
occurring substance found in food. Some fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts
and chocolate, have high oxalate levels. Your liver also produces oxalate.Vitamin
C and spinach contain oxalate. Calcium-based kidney stones are most commonly
seen in young men between the ages of 20 and 30.
Cystine
Cystine stones are rare. They occur in both men and women who
have the genetic disorder cystinuria.
Struvite
This type of stone is found mostly in women with urinary
tract infection. These stones can be quite large and cause urinary obstruction.
Uric Acid
This type of kidney stone is more common in men than in
women. They can occur in people with gout or those going through chemotherapy.
Other
Medications like triamterene and acyclovir also can cause
stones.
What are
the causes for kidney stones?
There are many factors which can lead to form stones in your
kidneys. Certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are
susceptible.
People who do not drink enough fluids may also be at higher
risk, as their urine is more concentrated.
Risk factors
·
Family history:
If someone in your family has kidney stones, you're more likely to develop
stones, too.
·
Dehydration:
Not drinking enough water each day can increase your risk of kidney stones.
People who live in warm climates and those who sweat a lot may be at higher
risk than others..
·
High-protein, salt, or glucose diet: A high-salt diet is another risk factor, as an increased
amount of sodium passing into the urine can also pull calcium along with it.
The net result is an increased calcium level in the urine, which increases the
probability for stones. Intake of oxalate-rich foods such as leafy green
vegetables, nuts, tea or chocolate may also worsen the situation.
·
Inflammatory bowel diseases (which can cause increase calcium absorption)
·
Other medical conditions. Diseases and conditions that may increase your risk of
kidney stones include renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, hyperparathyroidism,
certain medications and some urinary tract infections.
What are
the symptoms?
Kidney stones typically leave the
body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed
without causing symptoms.
Some stones may be washed out of the
kidney by urine flow and end up trapped within the ureter or pass completely
out of the urinary tract. Stones usually begin causing symptoms when they block
the outflow of the urine from the kidney leading to the bladder. At this point
these signs and symptoms may be seen,
·
Severe
pain in the side and back, below the ribs
·
Pain
that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity
·
Pain
on urination
·
Pain
that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin
·
Pink,
red or brown urine
·
Nausea
and vomiting
·
Persistent
urge to urinate
·
Fever
and chills if an infection is present
·
Cloudy
or foul-smelling urine
·
Urinating
more often than usual
Investigations
If your doctor suspects kidney stones in you he may ask you
to perform,
·
Blood
test: for calcium, phosphorus, uric acid and electrolytes
·
Urine
analysis: to check for crystals, bacteria, blood, and white cells.
·
Analysis
of passed stones: to determine type
·
Abdominal
X-rays
·
Intravenous
pyelogram (IVP)
·
Retrograde
pyelogram
·
Ultrasound
of the kidney
·
MRI
of the abdomen and kidneys
·
Abdominal
CT scan
Treatment
for kidney stone
Treatment of kidney stones varies
according to size, number and locations. Small kidney stones (less than 5 mm (0.20 in) in
diameter) may pass through urine without any pain or other symptoms. Homeopathy
has got wonderful results in treating kidney stones which will be explained in
detail later.
Initially NSAIDs are given to reduce the pain and wait for
spontaneous expulsion.
During this time the patient is advised to drink plenty of
water and liquids. A glass of orange juice in a day can help to prevent kidney
stone in susceptible subjects.
Surgical procedures:
Lithotripsy: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy uses sound waves to
break up large stones so they can more easily pass down the ureters into your
bladder. This procedure can be uncomfortable and may require light anesthesia
Tunnel Surgery (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) :Stones are removed through a
small incision in your back
Ureteroscopy: When a stone is stuck in the ureter or bladder, your doctor
may use an instrument called a ureteroscope to remove it

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
