How are kidney stones caused and how are kidney stones caused?

There are 6 main causes of stones.

1. Don't like to drink water: The kidneys receive far more waste than other organs. The kidneys are most important in regulating the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, metabolizing waste products produced by physiological activities, and excreting them in the urine, but they need enough water to assist in carrying out these functions.

2. Love to drink beer: If you have already suffered from kidney diseases and drink a large amount of beer without restrictions, it will cause uric acid deposition to lead to renal tubular blockage, forming stones and causing kidney failure.

3. Improper consumption of vegetables and fruits: eating more vegetables and fruits is good for health, which is the concept of ordinary people, many vegetables and fruits contain a lot of oxalate components, such as strawberries, spinach, beets, wheat bran, bamboo shoots, onions, callus white, etc., long-term consumption of a large number of calcium oxalate kidney stones.

4. Replace boiled water with drinks: Most men don't like the bland and tasteless of boiled water, in contrast, carbonated drinks such as soda and cola or drinks such as coffee have naturally become the best substitute for boiled water. However, the caffeine contained in these drinks is also one of the "culprits" of kidney stones.

5. Eat too much meat: Human beings consume protein per kilogram of body weight every day, and excessive intake of protein food will produce a lot of uric acid in the human body, which is the main component of uric acid stones in kidney stones.

6. Eat too much salt: Salt is an important culprit that increases the burden on the kidneys. 95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys, and if we consume too much, the burden on the kidneys will be forced to increase. Therefore, patients with kidney stones should eat less salt.

If you have kidney stones, you can drink Defu Shitong tea, which can be drunk as water to help expel stones.

Tips: Everyone should develop good eating habits in life, reduce the accumulation of debris, and prevent kidney stones. For the sake of your own health, in your busy work life, you should do some exercise to reduce the accumulation of stones.

Hello, (1) If the stone is less than 1cm, you can try drugs such as stone removal granule**, drink more water, and wait for it to be discharged by itself; (2) When the small stone cannot be discharged after a long treatment, or the stone is 1cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is preferred; (3) If the stone volume is large, more than 3cm or it is a deer antler stone, it should be planned. The application of ESWL alone is not the best plan, first percutaneous nephroscopic stone removal, as far as possible to remove the stone, 2 4 days later, ESWL****, can also be open surgery, the stone removal, if a small number of stones remain, then ESWL**;

Hello, it should be life, eating habits and other factors will cause this disease, it is better to exercise more, drink plenty of water, dilute urine, reduce the deposition in the urine, concentrate, will reduce the occurrence of stones. You can take some Chinese medicine to expel stones, and the effect is still good.

What are kidney stones? How is it formed?

Kidney stones are caused by the abnormal accumulation of crystalline substances such as calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, cystine, etc., in the kidneys. It is a common and frequent disease of the urinary system. It is more common in men than in women, and it is more common in young adults.

90% contain calcium, of which calcium oxalate stones are the most common. In addition, if you have kidney stones, you must pay attention to the choice of food. So, what are kidney stones caused?

Next, I will answer this question for you.

1. Dietary factors.

Kidney stones are caused by dietary factors. If the water intake is insufficient, it can cause the urine to concentrate, and it is easy to increase the concentration of calcium ions and oxalic acid, which will form calcium acid stones, and these calcium stones will be deposited in the kidneys and cause kidney stones. In addition, excessive consumption of animal protein, sodium, calcium, long-term low-magnesium diet, and vitamin A and B6 deficiencies can also increase the risk of kidney stones.

2. Drug factors.

Kidney stones are caused by drug factors. Long-term use of glucocorticoids, vitamin C, sulfonamides, and ceftriaxone sodium can increase the risk of kidney stones. In addition, drugs with high urine concentration and low solubility, such as triamterene, indinavir, silicates, sulfonamides, etc., can also lead to the development of kidney stones.

Because these drugs themselves are components of stones, patients are advised to use them with caution.

3. Metabolic abnormalities.

Kidney stones are caused by metabolic abnormalities. Because 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. The common stone components in urine include calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, cystine, etc., and any physiological disorder that causes abnormal components may initiate stone formation and promote stone growth.

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.

Non-pharmacological**.

At present, there are several mainstream non-drug** methods for kidney stones: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL), ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URL), and open surgery.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

The advantages of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are that it is non-invasive, safe, and has the feeling of being beaten across the mountain. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy uses shock waves to break up stones, and small pieces or powders of the stones are excreted with urine.

Applicable conditions: renal pelvis and intermediate and superior calytic stones with a diameter of 5-20mm.

Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL).

Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is a minimally invasive surgery, which requires a small gap in the patient's waist, fine needle puncture directly to the renal calyx or renal pelvis, dilation of the channel and placement of the nephroscope, and the choice of stone removal or lithotripsy according to the actual situation.

Indications: **Some complex kidney stones, such as 20mm kidney stones, staghorn stones, multiple kidney stones, and stones that are difficult to crush by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and **Failed stones.

Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URL).

Salpingoscopic lithotripsy is to let the ureteroscope enter the ureter through the urethra through the bladder, and use the stone Wang Lan or stone forceps to remove the stone, or the ureteroscopy uses a laser lithotripsy machine and other equipment to remove the stone.

Applicable conditions: kidney stones with a diameter of less than 20mm, mainly including middle and lower ureteral stones, incarcerated stones with long stagnation time, ureteral stones with negative X-ray, and upper ureteral stones with ESWL failure.

Hello! 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. There are many factors that affect the formation of stones, such as age, gender, ethnicity, genetics, environmental factors, dietary habits, and occupation.

Metabolic abnormalities (eg, hyperparathyroidism, hypercortisolism, hyperglycemia), prolonged bed rest, nutritional deficiencies (vitamin B6 deficiency, magnesium deficiency diet), urinary tract obstruction, infection, foreign body and drug use are common in stone formation**. It is known that there are 32 components of urinary stones, the most common component is calcium oxalate, and other components of stones such as magnesium ammonium phosphate, uric acid, calcium phosphate, and cystine (an amino acid) are known. Kidney stones are rarely composed of a single crystal, and most of them have two or more of them, and one is the main body.

The cause of kidney stones may be related to genetic factors, or due to poor eating habits and living habits, often eat some foods rich in calcium or high oxalate content during meals, which can easily cause stones to drink too little water, or lack of exercise will also cause stones.

Kidney stones need to be carried out according to the size, location, severity of the stone, and whether there is secondary infection, malformation, etc., and the preferred method is conservative.

Conservative ** refers to the patient's oral adjustment of urine pH value of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese patent medicine, stone expulsion medicine, usually with the use of polygithus tea to dissolve stone expulsion, plus drink more water, more exercise, to discharge kidney stones, generally for stones less than 5mm, most of them can be discharged by conservative **.

At the same time, kidney stones may also cause symptoms of infection, so it is necessary to use anti-inflammatory and anti-infective drugs**, as well as drugs to expand the tube.

In addition, with the movement, of course, it depends on the specific position of your stone with different movement methods. Generally, running and jumping rope are fine, but if the stone is in the lower pole of the renal pelvis, it will be upside down.

For patients with kidney stones, it is important to avoid hydronephrosis. If your stone has no symptoms in the kidneys and does not produce hydrops, you can exercise more often, drink more water and control your diet.

In terms of diet, pay attention to limit the consumption of sodium salt, avoid monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, and limit the consumption of high-protein and high-calcium foods, including meat, various nuts, etc. Avoid oxalic acid, high oxalic acid foods include: spinach, rhubarb, mango, strawberry, cocoa, chocolate, tea, should be avoided or eaten less.

If you have kidney stones, you should regularly recheck the urinary ultrasound to see if there is hydrops. If the accumulation of water is severe, it is best to have a surgical stone removal. Drink plenty of fluids.

Stones larger than 1 cm can be treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or directly by surgery. It is specifically stated that you should ensure adequate water intake every day to keep your stool smooth. In addition, with the movement, of course, it depends on the specific position of your stone with different movement methods.

Generally, running and jumping rope are fine, but if the stone is in the lower pole of the renal pelvis, it will be upside down.

For patients with kidney stones, it is important to avoid hydronephrosis. If your stone has no symptoms in the kidneys and does not produce hydrops, you can exercise more often, drink more water and control your diet. Wishing you good health!

Kidney stones are stones formed by the precipitation of crystalline salts in the kidneys, and the stones are mainly formed by the sediment or necrotic tissues in the kidneys, which are slowly crystallized and then stuck together.

Stones are divided into oxalic acid, uric acid, phosphoric acid, and other types according to the composition of minerals, and each stone is different. Its formation mechanism is mainly related to dietary habits, such as long-term use of calcium tablets, it is easy to combine with oxalic acid in the body to form crystals. Therefore, do not eat more calcium tablets for calcium supplementation, and you can adjust your diet appropriately to avoid kidney stones.

The mechanism and causes of kidney stone formation are complex. The following reasons are common: 1. Abnormal metabolism, the body has abnormal metabolism of calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, cystine, etc., resulting in an increase in urine content or a decrease in solubility, crystal precipitation, and the formation of stones.

2. Urinary factors, kidney injury, renal calcification, urinary tract infection, obstruction and foreign bodies can also lead to stone formation. 3. Drug-related factors, drugs with high concentration and low solubility in the urine, such as triamterene, indinavir, etc., these drugs themselves are components of stones.

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.

Kidney stones are formed mainly because the person usually does not drink much water. Drink less water. In addition, taking foods with high calcium content and oxalic acid together will form stones.

Kidney stones are caused by changes in the body's functions, such as cold, fatigue, and irregular life caused by external factors.

The formation of kidney stones is mainly related to the patient's usual eating habits, such as patients often do not like to drink water, often smoke and drink, usually eat those foods with high oxalic acid content, and eat foods with high salt content, it is easy to cause patients to have stone disease, for stone patients, first of all, they must drink more water, drinking more water is conducive to the discharge of stones, and at the same time, water in the body can play a role in electrolyte balance, and the kidneys can metabolize the waste products produced by physiological activities. It can then be excreted in the urine. Stone patients usually do not smoke and drink, smoking and drinking is easy to cause the patient's uric acid deposition, so it is easy to have kidney failure, patients usually do not eat those foods with high oxalic acid content, because foods with high oxalic acid content will form calcium oxalate with calcium ions, it is easy to form stones.

Physique plus oxalic acid.

I also had kidney stones, drank Chinese patent medicine, stuck in the ureter and died of pain, and finally drank it by Chinese patent medicine, comfortable, it hurt for half a year, it felt really, as if scraping in it with a knife.
