Stones can form anywhere in the urinary system. They develop when certain chemicals in the urine form crystals that stick together. The crystals grow into a stone, which can range in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. Small stones can pass through the urinary system without causing too much problems. However, larger stones can block the flow of urine or irritate the lining of the urinary tract. Most stones (70 to 80 percent) contain calcium oxalate crystals. A smaller number of stones are made of uric acid or cystine.
Normally, urine contains chemicals, which prevent crystals from forming. Some people seem to be more prone to kidney stones than others. Factors such as recurrent urinary tract infections, drinking less fluids and blockage of the urinary tract lead to stone formation. Consuming too much calcium oxalate or uric acid in the diet, excess vitamin C or D, certain medications and metabolic diseases may also lead to development of kidney stones.
Most small stones usually pass through the body by themselves within hours or a few days. Drinking lots of fluids helps this process.
Certain types of stones can be dissolved using medications. However, the most common stones (those containing calcium) cannot be dissolved. Stones that do not pass by themselves need treatment. One method of treatment is a non-surgical technique called Extra-corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) that uses high-energy shock waves to break the stones into small fragments like sand. This stone dust then passes with urine during the next few weeks.
This treatment can be successfully used in many cases where the stones are relatively small. The other method is by an operation that can be done either using the endoscope (ureteroscopy, nephroscopy) or by the standard open technique. More and more stones can now be treated without having to resort to an open operation.
Certain precautions can be taken to help prevent the formation of kidney stones. If there are no underlying health problems, the most important thing is to drink plenty of water every day so that the volume of urine passed per day is between 2 to 4 litres. An adequate intake of water must be maintained throughout the day especially along with meals and after exercise. In case of calcium oxalate stones, very large amounts of dairy products or foods high in oxalates (like tea or chocolate) should not be consumed. Red meat must be restricted in cases of uric acid stones.
idkk but my dadddy got his gall blader removed... :O
Doctors do not always know what causes a stone to form. While certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, scientists do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not susceptible.
A person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to develop stones. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic kidney diseases, and certain metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism are also linked to stone formation.
In addition, more than 70 percent of people with a rare hereditary disease called renal tubular acidosis develop kidney stones.
Fortunately, surgery is not usually necessary. Most kidney stones can pass through the urinary system with plenty of water
