Kidney stones are a common urinary disorder that can cause severe pain and discomfort to patients. In China, the incidence of kidney stones is increasing year by year, and it has become a major problem affecting health. Today, we will talk about the formation and ** of kidney stones, unveil the mystery of this disease, and help you better prevent and solve the problem of kidney stones.
1. Formation of kidney stones.
The formation of kidney stones is a complex process that involves a variety of factors. In simple terms, kidney stones are caused by an excess of certain components in the urine, causing these components to crystallize and precipitate in the urine, gradually forming solid particles. These particles accumulate and eventually form stones. There are various components of kidney stones, including calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid, struvic acid, etc.
1.Insufficient water intake: Insufficient water in the urine leads to concentrated urine, which can easily make the crystals in the urine analyze and form stones.
2.Diet: A high-salt, high-fat, high-protein diet will increase calcium, uric acid and other components in the urine, thereby promoting the formation of stones.
3.Metabolic abnormalities: Some metabolic diseases, such as gout and hyperparathyroidism, can lead to an increase in uric acid, calcium and other components in the urine, which is easy to form stones.
4.Genetic factors: Genetic factors also play an important role in the formation of kidney stones. Some people are born prone to stone formation, which is related to genetics.
5.Pharmacological factors: Certain medications, such as antibiotics and vitamin C, may cause an increase in certain components of the urine, increasing the risk of stone formation.
Second, the ** of kidney stones.
There are various methods for kidney stones, and which method to choose depends on the size, location, composition and physical condition of the patient.
1.Conservative**: For diameters less than 0For stones that are 6 cm and have no obvious symptoms, you can take conservative measures, such as drinking more water, exercising moderately, etc., to help the stones pass on their own.
2.Medications**: Medications** are ingredients that are mainly used to dissolve stones or reduce stone formation. Commonly used drugs include allopurinol (inhibiting uric acid production) and sodium bicarbonate (alkalizing urine).
3.Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: for diameters in 06 cm to 2Stones between 0 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is an effective method. The stone is broken up by a shock wave, turning it into fine particles that are excreted in the urine.
4.Endoscopic lithotripsy: for diameters greater than 20 cm stones, endoscopic lithotripsy is a commonly used method. A lithotripsy device is introduced into the kidneys through the urethra to perform lithotripsy directly on the stones.
5.Surgery**: Surgery may be required for stones that cannot be resolved by conservative** and lithotripsy surgery. Surgery** includes renal parenchymal incision and stone removal, kidney transplantation, etc.
3. Prevention of kidney stones.
The key to preventing kidney stones lies in lifestyle modification and dietary improvement. Here are some tips for preventing kidney stones:
1.Increase water intake: Ensure adequate water intake every day to dilute urine and reduce stone formation.
2.Eat a reasonable diet: Reduce the intake of high-salt, high-fat, high-protein foods, and eat more vegetables, fruits and other fiber-rich foods.
3.Moderate exercise: Moderate exercise can help promote urine circulation and reduce the formation of stones.
4.Weight control: Obese people are prone to kidney stones, and weight control can help reduce the incidence of stones.
5.Regular physical examination: Regular physical examination to find stones in time** to avoid deterioration of the condition.
In conclusion, kidney stones are a common urinary system disease, and it is important for patients to understand the causes of their formation, methods and preventive measures. I hope you will benefit from this article and better protect your kidney health.
