How are kidney stones caused?

The formation process of kidney stones is caused by certain factors to increase the concentration of stone-forming substances in the urine or reduce the solubility, which is in a supersaturated state, precipitates crystals and grows and accumulates locally, and finally forms stones. 1) Metabolic abnormalities: Urinary tract stones are mostly composed of human metabolites, and stones of different components can reflect the metabolic abnormalities of the corresponding components in the body.

Common stone-forming components in urine include calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, and cystine, and any physiological disorder that causes abnormal components may initiate stone formation and promote stone growth. 2) Local factors: Stones caused by local factors of the urinary tract system are mostly formed on the basis of other lesions.

Urinary tract obstruction, infection, and the presence of a foreign body in the urinary tract are the main local factors that predispose to stone formation, and obstruction can lead to infection and stone formation, which is also a foreign body in the urinary tract, which can exacerbate the degree of obstruction and infection. 3) Drug-related factors: Drug-induced kidney stones account for 1% of all stones and are divided into 2 categories:

Drugs with high concentrations and low solubility in urine, including triamterene, indinavir, silicates, and sulfonamides, which are themselves components of stones; Drugs that can induce stone formation, including acetazolamide, vitamins D, C, and corticosteroids, are metabolized to lead to the formation of stones of other components.

Causes of kidney stones.

While diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity increase the risk of kidney stones, many are also related to lifestyle habits. For example:

Drink very little water.

Excessive calcium intake.

A diet high in salt or sugar.

Drink cola by eating a lot of oxalate-rich foods (such as nuts, spinach, chocolate, and certain teas), which contain phosphates and are high in sugar.

Consuming too much protein.

Lack of citrate, a substance that helps prevent stone formation.

Family history and genetics.

For some small stones, patients can drink more boiled water on weekdays, and drinking schizophral tea has a promoting effect on stone expulsion. But larger stones can block the ureters and cause pain and other symptoms.

The main cause of kidney stones is in the diet. It is caused by excessive intake of relevant components that can form stones in food or water in the diet, so you must standardize your diet and do not eat foods that contain high calcium, oxalic acid, sugars, and proteins, so that the probability of producing stones will be much smaller.

How can I get rid of stones? At present, the stone is mainly removed through surgery and extracorporeal lithotripsy, but these two methods** are quite fast, but they are easy to repeat and painful. Traditional Chinese medicine will not be like this, Chinese medicine ** kidney stones pay attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, integrating ** and conditioning, that is, the yin and yang in the body are regulated smoothly.

Able to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. The effect of the Chinese herbal formula of "De Yu Shi Xi Tea" is good, it can diuretic and dissolve stones, quickly dissolve stones, dissolve stones faster, and discharge stones more thoroughly, and at the same time, on this basis, it can also balance blood pH, purify the blood environment, completely change the constitution of stones, balance yin and yang, and make stones not tolerable. At the same time, we should pay attention to the exercise of the body, because most of the components of the stones are calcium, so drinking more water also has a good effect on dissolving stones, and small stones can basically be eliminated by constantly drinking water.

Kidney stones are mainly caused by the accumulation of calcium salts in different parts of the kidneys in the body, causing stone formation, and the most common is calcium salt stones. Calcium salt stones are mainly used in foods eaten, including soy products, seafood, and high-protein foods, causing abnormal calcium metabolism. There are also abnormal calcium metabolism caused by specific diseases, such as hyperparathyroidism and so on.

There are also uric acid stones, that is, excessive intake of purine foods in the body, which causes excessive accumulation of uric acid. There are also urinary tract stones caused by urinary tract infections, because infectious stones form in the urinary tract because of the accumulation of infected particles.

Generally speaking, human urine contains some dissolved substances, but if it is precipitated due to various factors, it is possible to accumulate in the kidneys, resulting in kidney stones.

The formation of kidney stones, one is a physical factor, the body drinks less water, and some crystals of the stone are precipitated. The second is metabolic factors, such as diabetics and patients with parathyroid resistance who are prone to the formation of stones. There is also a diet high in purines, which is easy to form uric acid stones.

The formation of kidney stones, on the one hand, it is a physical factor, then there are many theories for the formation of stones themselves, among which the simplest and easiest to remember theory is the theory of supersaturation. That is to say, it may be that the amount of water in the body is relatively small, so the precipitation of some crystals that form the stone is called crystal precipitation or supersaturation theory, which is the most common and easiest to explain theory. Of course, because it involves many factors, it is also related to physical fitness.

For example, if there is an obstructive factor, there is a narrowing of the ureteral outlet of the renal pelvis, then the urine flow is not smooth, and these are prone to the formation of stones. And it is related to metabolism, you are like a metabolic factor, you are like a diabetic patient, then patients with parathyroid resistance are prone to form stones, as well as high uric acid in the diet, if you eat a high-purine diet, forming hyperuricemia, it is also easy to form uric acid stones.

There are many reasons for the formation of kidney stones, and the specific mechanism is still unclear, but it has been confirmed that it is related to human genes, that is, physical fitness, metabolic level, environment, diet, and some diseases. It is common to see a decrease in urine output, and insufficient inhibition of crystal formation and aggregates in the urine is also a factor in the formation of the urinary system. Another infection of the urinary system, like bacteria, pus, necrotic tissue, can become the core of the stone.

There are also various foreign bodies that remain in the urinary tract, such as indwelling urinary catheters, which can also cause the crystals in the urine to attach and gradually form stones. It can be formed for many reasons, which are now unclear, including the pH of the urine and so on.

It was found that kidney stones can be drunk to drink a lot of water, frequent urination, frequent exercise, and frequent exercise if kidney stones are to be discharged quickly. Drinking plenty of water helps the urinary system to produce a large amount of urine, which flushes out the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, urethra, and helps in the excretion of small stones. Regular exercise also helps small stones to enter the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and urethra during the process of activity, so as to be excreted from the body, generally only for kidney stones less than 6 mm, with a round and smooth surface.

Nephrolithiasis is caused by the abnormal accumulation of crystalline substances in the kidneys and is a common disease of the urinary system. Clinical symptoms depend on the size, shape, and location of the stone. Symptomatic treatment should be the first priority**, pain relievers should be used if pain flares up, and infection should be controlled if there is a co-infection.

When the stone is large, surgery may be an option**.

Urinary stones, or kidney stones, are a common disease in urology, with a high incidence. The main cause of the disease is related to the abnormal metabolism in the body, and the abnormal composition of urine causes urinary stones. Conceptually, the mixture of solid substances in the urinary system, including inorganic and organic substances, is called urinary stones.

With the change of lifestyle habits, urinary stones are becoming more and more common. Urinary stones are associated with changes in lifestyle habits, such as high protein intake and excessive salt intake, and the incidence of stones is relatively high. After the appearance of kidney stones, they need to be treated aggressively, because urinary stones can be harmful to the patient

1. It is easy to infect, if the urinary tract infection will cause fever and other manifestations; 2. Ureteral stones will cause obstruction of the urinary system, which is more harmful, because the renal function will be damaged after obstruction, especially if the stone is blocked for a long time, the obstruction time is too long, and the kidney function may be irreversibly damaged. Therefore, from the perspective of obstruction and infection, urinary stones need to be actively treated. For urinary stones, it should not be regarded as a stone disease, a little higher, in fact, urinary stones are systemic metabolic disorders or metabolic abnormalities, so doctors can not just deal with stones, but also need to deal with stones at the same time, look for **, whether there are metabolic abnormalities, metabolic lesions, such as high uric acid in the body and uric acid stones, if only the stones are removed, and the factors that cause high uric acid in the body are not removed, then the ** rate of stones is very high.

Therefore, after stone treatment, it is necessary to find the cause of metabolic abnormalities, and try to solve it as much as possible, which can reduce the risk of stones.

The process of kidney stone formation is very complex, and the current popular view is mainly related to metabolism. Common kidney stones, i.e., calcium oxalate stones, are formed by disorders of oxalate metabolism process, and uric acid stones are formed by disorders of uric acid metabolism process. There are also some kidney stones that are caused by diet, and abnormal purine metabolism can also form kidney stones, and too much fat intake can also form kidney stones.
