What causes kidney stones? What causes kidney stones?

Kidney stones, as the name suggests, are sclerotic crystals that appear in the relevant tissues of the kidneys. These crystals exist in the kidney tissue of the human body, which is very harmful to human health, so it must be treated correctly, and it is recommended that the diuretic soluble acid is slowly discharged from the tea.

The incidence of kidney stones is high, but many patients have an ambiguous understanding of the cause. So, how exactly do kidney stones form?

First, excessive consumption of sauerkraut can easily lead to kidney stones.

This is because pickled sauerkraut contains a lot of oxalic acid and calcium. If there is too much oxalic acid in the body, then calcium oxalate will be deposited in the kidneys more easily and form kidney stones.

Second, drinking drinks often can easily lead to kidney stones.

After the human body eats a large amount of beverages, the concentration of calcium ions in the urine, the content of oxalic acid and the acidity of the urine will increase, and the concentration of oxalate in the urine will increase significantly and be supersaturated, and the risk of kidney stones will increase greatly.

Third, regular consumption of seafood, animal offal, etc., can easily lead to kidney stones.

Seafood and animal offal contain more purine components. After purines enter the body, they are metabolized and the final product is uric acid. Uric acid can promote the precipitation of oxalate in the urine, which can lead to the formation of stones.

Fourth, inactivity leads to kidney stones.

It is often said that sun exposure helps with calcium absorption, but in fact, exercise absorbs the most calcium, so athletes have the thickest bones. Because exercise can help calcium settle into the bones, but without exercise, calcium will precipitate from the bones into the blood and urine, and gradually precipitate and form crystals. Therefore, not exercising will increase the occurrence of stones.

In addition, the onset of kidney stones is also related to occupation, other diseases and other factors.

Once the presence of kidney stones is confirmed, it is necessary to be prompted**. Chinese medicine regulates kidney stones. For example, it helps to dissolve stones so that they are excreted with urine.

Kidney stones are caused by the high concentration of calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid and other soluble substances in the urine composition and the precipitation of crystals, which are related to a variety of diseases and daily lifestyle habits.

Normally, crystals are precipitated in the kidneys when there are too many soluble substances (such as calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, etc.) in the urine. The crystals continue to coalesce and eventually form stones.

Common causes of kidney stones include:

Decreased urine output: When urine output is low, stones tend to form. As a result, people living in hot areas have a higher incidence of kidney stones.

Urinary tract obstruction: When there is an obstruction in the urinary tract, kidney stones can form if you do not urinate well.

Urinary tract infection: Kidney stones caused by a urinary tract infection, also known as infectious stones.

Metabolic diseases: Diabetes, hyperparathyroidism and other diseases can affect urine pH, increase urinary calcium excretion, decrease uric acid excretion, and form kidney stones.

Certain drugs: antibiotics (amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, norfloxacin, sulfadiazine, etc.), diuretics (triamterene, dihydrochlorothiazide, futhiomi, etc.), some ** HIV virus drugs (indinavir, ridunavir, etc.), contrast agents (proiodomide, iohexol), etc., can affect urine excretion or urine pH, forming kidney stones.

Who is more susceptible to kidney stones?

People who drink too little water, or love to drink strong tea, coffee, and high-sugar drinks.

People who eat a high-protein, high-fat diet, a high-purine diet (animal offal, seafood, beer, etc.), and people who love to eat oxalic acid-rich foods (spinach, beans, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, etc.).

Excess calcium supplementation. Corpulent.

Have a family history of kidney stones.

Having had gastrointestinal surgery, such as gastric bypass, also increases the risk of kidney stones.

What are kidney stones? How is it formed?

The most important thing about kidney stones is a catabolic abnormality. Medications and dietary factors can also cause kidney stones. It usually manifests as renal colic, hematuria, dysuria, nausea, retching, irritability, etc.

If it is accompanied by a urinary tract infection, there may be recurrence of fever and chills. If it is accompanied by painful urination, it is necessary to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs to relieve it. The vast majority of stones require extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and only a small number of small stones can be treated with lithotripsy drugs.

Special statement: Exercise more, drink plenty of water, and urinate more.

Analysis: Hello, the cause of kidney stones.

1. Excessive accumulation of oxalic acid. The accumulation of oxalic acid in the body is one of the factors that lead to kidney urinary stones. Such as spinach, beans, grapes, cocoa, tea, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, plums, bamboo shoots and other things that people generally love to eat, are foods with high oxalic acid.

Doctors found through research: 200 grams of spinach, containing milligrams of oxalic acid, if a person eats all 200 grams of spinach at a time, 8 hours after eating, check the amount of oxalic acid excretion in the urine is 20 25 mg, which is equivalent to the average total amount of oxalic acid excreted by normal people in 24 hours.

2. Purine metabolism is abnormal. Animal offal, seafood, peanuts, beans, spinach, etc., all contain more purine components.

Hello, the causes that may lead to the formation of kidney stones include systemic metabolic abnormalities, obstruction of the urinary tract, infection, foreign bodies and living environment, climate, water source and dietary habits, etc.

1. Systemic metabolic abnormalities.

Abnormal increase in calcium concentration in blood or urine due to abnormal endocrine metabolism causes hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, and stones are easy to form. In addition, hyperoxaluria and hyperuricuria are prone to the formation of calcium oxalate stones and uric acid stones, respectively.

2. Local urinary tract**.

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, and the stone itself is a foreign body in the urinary tract, which can exacerbate the degree of obstruction and infection.

3. Living environment, climate, water source and eating habits.

In hot areas, sweating a lot, urine is easy to concentrate; Food and water contain too much crystalline constituents, which are risk factors for stone formation.

The formation process of kidney stones is caused by certain factors to increase the concentration of crystalline 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.

It is still related to drinking water, and if you drink less water in life, especially in summer, it will be easy to cause high incidence.

Kidney stones are mainly caused by metabolic abnormalities, drug factors, urinary tract lesions and other factors, which are more common in men, and climatic factors, dietary habits and other factors can promote the occurrence of kidney stones.

First, the main **.

1. Metabolic abnormalities: Most of the components that form stones are composed of human metabolites, and stones of different components can reflect the metabolic abnormalities of the corresponding components in the body. Common components in urine that can form stones include calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, and cystine, and any physiological disorder that causes abnormal components may cause stone formation and promote stone growth.

Metabolic abnormalities are related to factors such as increased excretion of stone-forming substances, changes in urine pH, decrease in substances that inhibit crystal formation and aggregation in the urine, and decreased urine output.

2. Drug factors: long-term use of drugs that can lead to high concentration of urine carrier base solution and low solubility, including triamterene, indinavir, silicate and sulfonamides, etc., these drugs themselves are components of stones, so they are more prone to kidney stones. Long-term use of some drugs that induce stone formation, such as acetazole and cryptokey amide, vitamin D, vitamin C and corticosteroids, can also cause the formation of other components in the metabolic process.

3. Urinary tract lesions: urinary tract obstruction caused by various reasons leads to urinary stasis and urinary tract infection, especially some bacteria can decompose urea into ammonia, making urine alkaline, which is conducive to phosphate and carbonate deposition and the formation of stones. In addition, stones can cause obstruction in all parts of the urinary tract, and any stone that can cause obstruction can often lead to urinary tract infection.

2. Predisposing factors.

1. Climatic factors: the increase in temperature, the increase of water lost in perspiration and respiration, and the concentration of urine, which can promote the occurrence of kidney stones.

2. Dietary habits: patients with insufficient water intake increase the risk of kidney stones, which can promote the occurrence of this disease.

The formation process of kidney stones is caused by certain factors to increase the concentration of stone-forming substances in the urine of the group wheel or reduce the solubility, which is in a supersaturated state, precipitates crystals and grows and accumulates locally, and finally forms stones.

Insufficient water intake can lead to concentrated urine, excessive intake of animal protein, sodium, calcium, long-term low-magnesium diet, vitamin A

B6 deficiency also increases the risk of kidney stones. Drinking water in mountainous areas is not purified and contains more minerals, which may increase the risk of stones.

One of the causes of kidney stones is that you drink too little water, which will increase the burden on the kidneys, and it is easy to form kidney stones over time. Then there is the frequent drinking of beer in large quantities and the unreasonable consumption of vegetables and fruits, especially the vegetables and fruits rich in calcium oxalate. In addition, frequent use of drinks instead of boiled water, eating too much meat or consuming too much salt can also lead to kidney stones.

For kidney stones, use the stone tea to eliminate stones and remove stones, so that the stones can be discharged from the body, and at the same time prevent stones**.

Kidney stones are a disease that many people have suffered, the disease has a great impact on the health of the urinary system, and because it can cause severe pain, it brings more pain to patients. If we can understand the causes of kidney stones, we can do a better job in prevention and reduce the incidence of disease. So what causes kidney stones?

1. Drinking too little water.

One of the causes of kidney stones is drinking too little water. As we all know, the kidneys are one of the largest detoxification organs in the human body, and many waste products in the body need to be excreted through the kidneys, and the discharge of these waste products needs to be supported by sufficient water. If you drink too little water for a long time, resulting in a lack of water in the body, then the burden on the kidneys will increase, and kidney stones will form over time.

2. Drink beer often.

In life, there are not a few people who like to drink beer, if they have already suffered from kidney diseases, and often drink a large amount of beer without restrictions, then uric acid is easy to be deposited in the renal tubules, resulting in renal tubular blockage, and eventually forming kidney stones, and even causing kidney failure.

3. Unreasonable consumption of vegetables and fruits.

In the eyes of many people, eating more vegetables and fruits is beneficial to the health of the body, and can also supplement the body with sufficient vitamins, but many fruits and vegetables contain a large amount of oxalate, such as spinach, beets, onions, strawberries, etc., if you eat a large amount of this kind of food for a long time, you are prone to calcium oxalate kidney stones.

4. Always replace boiled water with beverages.

Many people feel that drinking boiled water has no taste, and compared to boiled water, carbonated drinks such as soda or cola are better, so they have become their usual main drink, and even directly use these drinks instead of boiled water. However, these drinks contain a lot of coffee and other substances, and drinking them for a long time can cause kidney stones.

5. Eating too much meat.

Protein is an indispensable nutrient in the human body, and meat is rich in protein. However, if eating too much meat can lead to excessive protein intake, which will produce a large amount of uric acid in the body, and these uric acids will be deposited in the urine and it is easy to form kidney stones.

6. Excessive salt intake.

Table salt is a very common condiment in life, but if the intake is too large, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, because 95% of salt needs to be metabolized by the kidneys. If you regularly consume a large amount of salt, the chance of developing kidney stones will be greatly increased.

Nephrolithiasis is a stone that forms in the kidneys from some components of the urine, resulting in a series of diseases in which urinary symptoms predominate.

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.

What are the best causes of kidney stones?

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.

Local factors. Stones caused by local factors in 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.

Drug-related factors.

Drug-induced kidney stones account for 1% of all stones and are divided into 2 main categories:

Drugs with a high concentration of urine and a relatively low solubility, which are themselves components of stones;

Drugs that induce stone formation, which in the process of metabolism lead to the formation of stones of other components.

What are the triggers of kidney stones?

Climatic factors. Climate can directly or indirectly induce stone formation, with the peak incidence occurring in summer, when increased water loss from perspiration and respiration leads to concentrated urine. The second is the prolongation of sunshine hours, the increase of the body's synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the increase of calcium content in the body, the increase of urinary calcium excretion, and the formation of stones.

Dietary factors. Insufficient water intake can lead to concentrated urine, excessive intake of animal protein, sodium, calcium, long-term low-magnesium diet, vitamin A and B6 deficiency will also increase the risk of kidney stones. Drinking water in mountainous areas is not purified and contains more minerals, which may increase the risk of stones.

Pharmacological factors. Long-term use of glucocorticoids, vitamin C (more than 4 g per day), sulfonamides, and ceftriaxone sodium are associated with an increased risk of kidney stones.

Metabolic abnormalities. Elevated concentrations of calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, and cystine in the urine can promote kidney stone formation.

Urinary tract factors. Uinary tract infections, urinary tract obstruction, and urinary tract foreign bodies can promote the formation of kidney stones.
