Do not overdose cod liver oil, cod liver oil is rich because of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus can promote intestinal absorption of membrane function, a sudden increase in urinary excretion of calcium and phosphorus bound to have a rainfall, it is easy to form kidney stones in infants.
If the relevant considerations and food and milk, milk powder or suspension of the original use of the diet.

How the early detection of kidney stones in infants?

the color of urine is cloudy, and even a white precipitate
the children appeared alkaline urine urinal
When the children cry pee

Babies suffering from kidney stones do not worry, if there is no hydronephrosis, acute renal failure, diet, drink plenty of water most of the children can recover.

Born not long, especially these stones like sand stone, these stones form a relatively short time, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture has a role. If large stones, not easy to discharge, can also be considered lithotripsy, but try to avoid the stone surgery, one child is too small, risky; Second, bilateral renal stones, both sides should surgery, the baby bear.

As the number of therapy because of the green, no side effects, efficacy and other unique characteristics, infants in the treatment of kidney stones can play an active role. How to use: embraced by children or parents of children holding hands and silently as the number of children or 720.40.60 06000.40.70. Choose one of the groups as the number of daily meditation time, not less than 4 hours. In the process of meditation, parents should observe the response of children, if read after the number of children increased irritability, crying or vomiting then stop reading, reading again for another recipe.

Kidney Stones can be caused by anatomical abnormalities

Urinary tract stones are caused by several things, usually because the concentration of the concentrated urine resulting in deposition of crystals. These crystals will continue to grow with the passage of time. Other factors that facilitate the occurrence of stones are the anatomical abnormalities of the urinary tract so that the flow of urine becomes smooth. Which does not facilitate the smooth flow of crystal deposition?

An estimated number of people with stones in the community about 10-15%, but in countries such as the temperature and other tropical countries, the number of patients can reach 20%. Who have known risk factors include gender, age, race, occupation, geographic location, Body Mass Index and the weather.

One procedure acts to break up kidney stones is the shock wave (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy - ESWL). With ESWL of kidney stones and urinary tract stones can be broken down into fragments that can be refined so that the rock fragments out along with urine, so it should only be done if normal renal function.

ESWL is a device that is modern and safe and convenient procedures to cope with kidney stones without anesthesia and without surgical wound. This is the excess morbidity in addition to ESWL (morbidity) is low, easy to use and the patient can be ambulatory.

However, ESWL has shortcomings, which include stone-free rates are lower, especially for kidney stones with a large size compared with PCNL and open surgery. In addition to stone size, stone-free rate is influenced also by the hardness of stone, kidney function and kidney anatomical circumstances.

7 natural remedies that can prevent kidney stones

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:18:00 +0700

Formation of stones in the kidney or urinary tract is a common disorder. These stones are formed from chemicals found in urine, such as uric acid, phosphorus, calcium and oxalic acid. Stones are formed and enlarged by the concentration of certain substances in the urine exceeds the dissolution.

About 90 percent of kidney stones contain calcium as the main component. Over 50 percent of this amount is a mixture of calcium, ammonium and magnesium, phosphate and carbonate.

Other symptoms of kidney stones are often want to dispose of urine, pain while urinating, only a little amount of urine, nausea, vomiting, sweating and chills. In addition, patients can also bleed during bowel movements of art.

Bean is expressed very effective in overcoming kidney disorders including kidney stones. The trick, removes the nuts from the skin, then slice peanut shells up to about 60 grams. Next, put in four liters of hot water, boil gently for six hours. This liquid should be filtered with fine gauze and cooled for eight hours.

Furthermore, the liquid re-filtered with gauze fabric is smooth with no shake. Once filtered, drink one glass of fluid every two hours throughout the day. Continue for a couple of times a week. This fluid does not work if it is more than 24 hours.

Basil
Basil has a strengthening effect of the kidney. In the case of kidney stones, try eating a teaspoon of basil juice and a teaspoon of honey. Consumption every day for six months. Method can be expressed removing stones from the urinary tract.

Apple
Apples also play a role in overcoming kidney stones. In countries that use natural unsweetened apple juice as a daily beverage, cases of kidney stones are almost nonexistent. However, apples expressed more useful.

Wine
Wine is useful as a diuretic because of its rich water and potassium salt. In addition, the fruit of the womb also has a low albumin and sodium chloride, making it suitable to tackle kidney stones.

Pomegranate
Pomegranate seeds considered to be good to tackle kidney stones. Try eating a tablespoon of pomegranate seeds after mashed up into a paste.

Watermelon
Watermelon is the fruit of the most water-rich compared with other fruit. In addition, this fruit is also rich in calcium salts. This fruit is one of the safest and best diuretics which can be used to treat kidney stones.

Vitamin B6
Research shows success of vitamin B6 in dealing with kidney stones. Try taking 100 to 150 mg of vitamin B6 per day. It is better integrated with other B complex vitamins. Consumption for several months to permanent results. However, it is better to consult with your doctor to determine the most appropriate dose for you.

Clinical manifestations of kidney stones in children

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Thu, 7 Jul 2011 15:46:00 +0700

Specific reasons for the formation of kidney stones are not fully understood, but genetics, diet and drinking water composition. Children, low incidence of kidney stones, kidney stones are more common primary, general information 60% to 80%, 1% of hereditary disease, uric acid stones account for 5% to 39%, 5% high-calcium state. Differences in the incidence of large numbers of different ages, children are rare but the incidence increases with age.

Usually after the age of onset of 4 to 5, 8 to 10 is more common after the age of 3-4 year old. The group of 25 patients, 1 of 7 cases of 7 years, 8 years old in 17 cases (68.0%), only 1 case of 5 month baby.

Children with atypical clinical manifestations of kidney stones, mainly hematuria, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, children account for ambiguity, low back pain position statement is unclear. Group 1 patients with kidney stones in children 5 years old, each episode tells the left upper abdominal pain.

Therefore, the clinical diagnosis of kidney stones first little longer most easily misdiagnosed. To have low back pain and or hematuria preferred B-mode ultrasound, combined with abdominal X-ray film can improve the diagnostic rate; diagnosed therapy to medicine penetration to blood circulation, the primary purpose of expansion of blood vessels, urethral smooth muscle to improve the local blood supply, rich blood flow to the kidneys to produce urine increased, is conducive to stone discharge.

Expansion of the renal artery damage to the kidneys to increase the effective blood perfusion, increased oxygen supply to the kidneys and improving kidney microcirculation, adjust the overall function of the kidneys, the urine pH stability, so that Ca2 +, lipid, oxalate and other fully dissolved in urine, not deposition, no precipitation, the formation of stones is not nuclear, then generate the conditions for the eradication of the stone. Stones greater than 0.80cm × 0.90cm, line drug treatment in vitro with laser lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy for the treatment of kidney stones in vitro a better way, should be strictly controlled indications.

Prevention is better than kidney stones out of the way

People who have ever experienced on offer, in their depictions of torture. Even labor pains will fade it. An urologist explained it to his patients as follows. What do you feel there is a colic in 30 minutes you offer me your car, your home in an hour this afternoon and to your wife, if I just worry that the pain stop. Where a patient has a kidney stone feels depends entirely on where is located some of back pain, another in the right lower abdomen or if the stone is deep in the scrotum or labia. How strong are the symptoms depends on the size of stone small specimens only cause a stinging pain on urination, may already in lentil sized stones but come on hours of renal colic. In addition to the cramps affected the acute stone passage is often bad, some have to throw up, get some bloating and diarrhea.

Mineral salts that crystallize

Kidney stones are usually made in the mineral salts that can dissolve no more urine. Why they are clustered together, is not yet fully understood. One theory is that the minerals formed at too high a concentration of small crystals that expand it. Urinary tract infection or urine storage can drive growth, but also a protein and fat rich diet, bad drinking habits and disorders of metabolism. Nearly 80% of all kidney stones are made of calcium. They often form in the second half of life when the bones begin to break down calcium. The normal way is that the kidneys excrete the mineral salt. Has anyone but very concentrated urine, the risk of kidney stones from forming. If they do not cause symptoms and go off by himself, a doctor flushing. For this, he crushed them with shock waves, ultrasound or laser, giving medications, flush the kidneys, relieve inflammation and prevent cramps.

Nightcap against kidney stones

It is estimated that about five percent of the German kidney stones. Since men are affected twice as often as women, they should be prevented particularly well - especially if they ever had kidney stones. The most effective means of mineral salts to be no chance of clumping is fluid: Everyone should drink between two and three liters daily in summer, after the sauna or other activities more you sweat more.

Also important is the time of day. Most people drink a lot during the day and evening, little to no need to go to the toilet at night. Quite wrong! So concentrated in the urine during the night and the mineral salts may not dissolve adequately. So calm treat before bedtime or a drink - preferably water and herbal or fruit teas. Stein urologists recommend troubled, the water add lemon juice to prevent crystallization one. If necessary, doctors prescribe additional drugs with durchspülendem effect. When alcohol is caution, because it deprives the body fluid. Clear indicator: after a riotous party. People who had kidney stones ever to resign about two liters of urine a day, experts say. So, for safety's sake even measure it.

Calcium protects against kidney stones

Basically, eating low fat and protein protects against kidney stones. Vulnerable people should also limit the consumption of sweets and baked goods made with white flour and use salt sparingly, urologists advise. Beware of foods that deprive the body of extra water, such as asparagus and rhubarb. Whether a patient should follow a special diet, his doctor must decide - depending on the type of kidney stone. Until a few years, doctors banned patients with calcium stones, milk, cheese and other foods with high calcium content. Meanwhile, scientists have found the University of Mannheim that gives raise above all the so-called oxalic acid kidney stones. These can already bind calcium in the intestine before it reaches the kidneys. Thus even protects against calcium kidney stones. To elicit this effect range, 800 to 1,000 mg of calcium a day, say the experts. For comparison, a glass of milk, 45 g and 200 g Edam cheese broccoli contain about 850 milligrams of calcium.

Move prevents clumping

An often neglected point in the fight against kidney stones: Any inflammation of the bladder or urinary tract should be well cured. Urinary tract infections may promote the formation of stones, kidney stones and cause infection. Finally, anyone care whether with or without stone experience, sufficient movement in his life. It keeps you fit, helps prevent symptoms and causes kidney stones are eliminated before they become so large that they can cause colic.

Unhealthy diet can cause kidney stones

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Tue, 5 Jul 2011 12:18:00 +0700

If you are trying to lose weight by dieting, you should go on a diet to maintain your health (healthy diet). Because with a diet that does not correspond to the standard of health (unhealthy diet) can cause of kidney stones.

Coffee, black tea, animal protein and salt are suspected to promote kidney stones symptoms. These deposits in the kidneys or urinary passages cause extremely painful colic. Experts have identified six different types of kidney stones, which differ in their chemical composition. However, there is still no preventive diet against the deposits. Kidney stones can only be counteracted by the selective choice of food when the rock type is exactly known, says Andreas tingling of the University Hospital of Essen. For example, calcium stones, milk products are not suitable.

In addition, studies show that cranberry juice affects the kidneys and possibly positive preventive effect. Representative evidence is still lacking. Likewise, there are studies which show that vegetarians rarely get kidney stones. These results are scientifically backed but not sufficient, explains Andreas tingling. A possible vitamin and fiber-rich foods and at least 2.5 liters of fluid per day but will reduce the risk, according to studies.

Does drinking tea can cause kidney stones?

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Mon, 4 Jul 2011 12:02:00 +0700

Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world because it is believed to have many health benefits. But others think drinking tea can cause kidney stones, is this true?

Tea contains substances called oxalates, which can cause of kidney stones in some individuals. Normally, the kidneys can eliminate oxalate from the blood and remove from the body through urine. But for people who are vulnerable or have had kidney stones talent should indeed be reduced or completely consume the tea.

If you consume too much oxalate, a substance can be separated from the urine of joining with calcium to form calcium oxalate kidney stones.

A cup of black tea (concentrated) usually contains an average of more than 10 mg oxalate (100 grams of tea). Because the oxalate content of a significant, considered black tea beverages with the highest oxalate content.

Other teas such as black currant tea, rosehip tea and mate tea, containing 2 to 10 mg of oxalate and oxalate is considered a drink with moderate or moderate. If you are prone to kidney stones, you have to eliminate the high oxalate tea from your diet and limit consumption of tea with oxalate being size of 2-3 servings per day.

Green tea and herbal teas such as including cinnamon, peppermint and chamomile, contain less than 2 mg oxalate per cup (per 100 grams of tea). Consuming low-oxalate tea usually will not lead to the development of kidney stones.

Not only limit the tea, people or vulnerable people should also limit the kidney stones oxalate derived food emergency. People who are vulnerable to kidney stones should limit intake of oxalate of 40 to 50 mg per day.

Foods high in oxalate such as are nuts, peanut butter, soy milk, bread wheat, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, carrots, celery, kale, leeks, okra, spinach, sweet potatoes, eggplant and fig.

While the intake of foods with oxalate were not allowed to exceed three servings per day. Examples are the oxalate diet yogurt, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, strawberries, pears, peaches, oranges, liver, sardines, bagels, brown rice, oatmeal, asparagus, broccoli, corn, fennel and tomatoes.

Dehydration can cause kidney stones

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Mon, 4 Jul 2011 10:23:00 +0700

A total of 46.1% from 1200 adolescents, mild dehydration. In fact, it would bring adverse effects on health.

Dehydration will cause a disruption in brain function and physical. Disruption of brain function due to dehydration includes lowering the concentration and thinking ability, and intelligence. While physical disorders such as headaches, lethargy, weakness, seizures, fainting.

In fact, in the long run dehydration causing urinary tract infections and can cause of kidney stones.

One cause of dehydration is lack of drinking water. The amount of water your body needs is 1 ml/kcal energy needs of the human body.

Energy needs of adolescents and adults ranging from 1800-3000 kcal. Therefore, the body's water needs for adolescents and adults ranged from 1.8 to 3.0 liters a day. Because a third of body water obtained from food, the water consumption of drinks about two liters per day.

Water is one of the important nutrients the body needs. Aside from being a carrier of nutrients and wastes, water also serves as a regulator of temperature, lubricant, and retaining shocks.

Foods that cause kidney stones in children

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Fri, 1 Jul 2011 10:25:00 +0700

Bad habits of children consume a high salty savory snacks and a lack of water intake may increase risk of kidney stones. These kidney diseases can cause a great pain!

One great if you think of kidney stones affects only in adults. The proof, a mother in America found a grain of rock the size of a pea on a new diaper baby 8 months old. After review, it seems that baby girl was often ill with kidney stones. Furthermore, this baby became the youngest patients with kidney stones in children who handled Dr. David Hatch from Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood Illinois near Chicago, USA.

This past year, the doctor was baffled by the case of the increasing number of sufferers of kidney stones in children. This problem, especially children experienced lover cheeseburger, fries, and other salty snacks, tasty. Kidney stones are commonly experienced by adults, with complaints of extreme pain, supposedly more painful than childbirth.

However, when these hospitals in a number of countries reporting increasing rates of patients with kidney stones. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, for example, since 2005 has increased the numbers of children treated for kidney stones.

Of the previous 10 patients per year to 5 patients per week, said Dr. Pasquale Casale, a staff physician at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, a referral center for patients with kidney stones, in the last 15 years at most only treat 1-2 patients kidney stones children in a year. This year is different, almost every week we receive new patients, said kidney specialist Dr. Alicia Neu.

The study published in the journal Urology, the doctors at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Medical Center reported in the period 1994-2005 there have been increasing cases of kidney stones kids almost fivefold. Total of 61 teens treated for this kidney disease.

Kidney stones in children has been discussed a conference of experts recently kidneys, said director of bone and mineral disorders clinic of Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas, Dr. Uri Alon.

So far, the evidence seems still anecdotal. However, Alon included in the study of kidney stones the boy tried to analyze whether or not there has been an increase in cases, or because of increased public awareness to detect kidney stones.

Alon also were investigating whether if better nutrition can prevent children from getting kidney stones. So far, the habits of children who are lazy and fond of drinking water snacking snacks high salinity are the two main factors can cause kidney stones in children.

It hurt like hell and went on and on. I am very scared because of extreme pain, said the boy from the city of Doylestown.

Darryl Billemeyer, Matty's father, claimed to fear seeing her baby squirmed and screamed in pain. He was then moved Matty from a hospital near his home to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. There Matty underwent examination with ultrasound waves.

As an initial treatment, Matty had surgery. Some time later, they put out the same stone he urinates. Every day at school, Matty was carrying bottled drinking water to meet the needs of her body fluids.

In addition, he has to say goodbye on the old favorite menus, such as sausages, pickles, and ramen noodles that are all of high salinity. Matty is a four siblings, with parents who work as teachers are busy. This has an impact on family eating patterns due to busyness, more frequent fast-food cooking such as canned spaghetti, noodles, and chicken nuggets and high calcium milk.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones in Women

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:52:00 +0700

Kidney stone disease can happen to anyone, but the last few years cases of kidney stones in women begin to increase. Therefore recognize the common symptoms of kidney stones in women. An increasing number of cases of kidney stones in women mostly caused by wrong lifestyle. One is too many calories and less consumption of protein, vitamins and minerals.

Kidney stones are a disease that occurs as a result of kidney stones in one lump. These stones are collections or aggregates of some foreign particles and waste materials in the body as well as dead skin cells. Most cases of kidney stones are occurred aggregate of calcium that can come from supplements consumed calcium women. Because it is very important to detect the symptoms at an early stage. Because if the kidney stone is known to have late stage, it can be fatal.

But the pain is sometimes so mild that most of the cases often go undetected. But if at the same time women are also experiencing some urinary problems such as pain during urination, discoloration of urine or blood in the urine, then it could be an indication of the kidney stones symptoms. Disturbances and other symptoms may also appear such as fever, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and slowness of thinking.

Besides it can also arise when the abdominal pain or back is touched, the pain in your sides, back, groin or genitals. Sometimes this pain called renal colic.

Kidney stones are a serious disease that can cause complications such as infection, urinary tract obstruction and inflammation. Because of this stone should be issued as soon as possible from the body before dangerous complications occur. Several ways can be done to remove kidney stones from within the body such as taking certain drugs that can destroy rocks and excreted through urine, radiation techniques in the surgical technique to destroy the stone and if the stone is too large.

Estrogen therapy triggers risk kidney stones in postmenopausal women

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:41:00 +0700

Take care for women at middle-aged or older who want to undergo estrogen therapy, as based on a recent study this therapy may be able to increase the risk of kidney stones in postmenopausal women.

For this study, researchers looked at data from postmenopausal women in the United States, collected from two studies titled Women's Health Initiative.

One study involving 10,739 women who had undergone hysterectomy, and those undergoing treatment of estrogen alone or placebo and followed for an average of 7 years.

While other studies included 16,608 women without hysterectomy who underwent either estrogen plus progestin therapy or placebo, and they were followed for an average of 5 years.

There were 335 reported cases of kidney stones in women on estrogen therapy group and 284 cases in the placebo group, the researchers said.

The incidence rate of kidney stones symptoms per year per 10,000 women a year was 39 on estrogen therapy group and 34 in the placebo group, according to study results published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

The growth of the symptoms are five times more common in women with a history of kidney stones at baseline, but the growth of the symptoms was not significantly changed by estrogen therapy, said Dr. M. Naim Maalouf, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

The researchers found no significant relationship between the growth of the symptoms by age, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and previous hormone therapy, consumption of coffee or use of thiazide diuretics.

These findings suggest that estrogen therapy increases the risk of kidney stones in healthy postmenopausal women. The mechanism underlying this higher propensity remains to be determined.

Given the considerable prevalence of kidney stones in this population segment between 5 percent to 7 percent in the United States then the findings need to be considered in the decision making process associated with estrogen use in postmenopausal women.

How do kidney stones occur?

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:05:00 +0700

What are kidney stones caused by less mobile? Not necessarily. Scholars Australia are investigating a theory that the silica contained in drinking water can cause kidney stones and gall bladder stones.

Research on the theory that is now being conducted at James Cook University in North Queensland, in the northeastern city of Townsville. Dr. Christopher Cuff, a lecturer in crystallography and geo chemical work on the project began three years ago. When he found the number of occurrences of the presence of stones in the gall bladder, kidney and colon among the people who live in Townsville, with a population of 80,000 was Oran.

Research conducted in the world of kidney stones in the human body mostly confined to areas of non-tropical and generally revolves around the two causes that have been accepted by the public, is the work and the food. But there is a third possibility, maybe the stone came from the materials contained in drinking water. This problem has been alluded to in London in the 1960s, when scholars began to connect researchers stone incidence in the human body with a high calcium levels in drinking water in some places.

Dr. Cuff has examined the stones taken from the body of the people who live in the Townsville region and found that composed of calcium silicate. Equipped clues from studies in London, he then entered the analysis of drinking water in Townsville.

It turns out that drinking water containing silica 20 to 100 times more than ordinary drinking water. The next step is to complete the study rocks were statistically medicine in the area of tropical northern Australia. Dr. Cuff said the collapse of the tropics in the rocks is more common because of climate than in the medium. Because the geological conditions of an area, surface water and in soil varies, according to the composition of the soil where the water was flowing on it or penetrate inside.

Water in limestone mountain area will feel rough, more or less depending on the lime contained. Dr. Cuff believes that the most economical solution is to use a fine filter to filter drinking water in cities that need it.

Kidney symptoms can increase risk of heart disease

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 10:29:00 +0700

People with chronic kidney stones symptoms have a higher risk of heart disease, according to the latest national survey released by a health agency ahead of World Kidney Day on March 10.

The survey found that high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease are more common among patients with kidney stones symptoms than those without kidney disease, said the Bureau of Health Promotion.

The study found 36.6 percent of people with renal dysfunction had high blood pressure, compared to 15 percent of hypertension in those without kidney symptoms, said Horng Shiow-shiun, section chief in the division of adult health and the elderly.

In addition, 32.3 percent of patients with kidney symptoms have high cholesterol levels, 17.3 percent have diabetes, and 12.9 percent had heart disease, according to the study.

According to the Director General of the bureau, Chiou Shu-ti, Taiwan kidney patients often ignore their condition, as indicated in the survey, which found that about 60 percent of people with kidney problems do not monitor these risk factors on a regular basis.

The survey was conducted nationally between 2009 and 2010 at between 200 thousand respondents over the age of 15.

The survey is held every four years as part of an effort to track health problems and to better understand the habits of public health.

Urinary tract length, the risk of kidney stones in men

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 10:46:00 +0700

Men are more prone to kidney stones. The reason is the anatomy of the penis and urine composition. But, there are other causes that are not less alarming. Kidney stone formation can be influenced by various factors.

Most patients are men aged 40-60 years old with a ratio of 2-3:1 because the anatomy of their urinary tract is longer and the composition of the urine contains more calcium. In addition, they are often trespass hot and rarely move, sitting too long and Body Mass Index is high, then it is likely easier for the formation of kidney stones.

One of the proper procedures is shooting of kidney stones with ESWL shock wave. This tool allows the kidney stone is broken and out through the urine.

Kidney stones and urinary tract stones broken into a fine fraction, so it can come out with urine, as long as the patient's kidney is still functioning normally. ESWL is a safe and comfortable procedure with no anesthesia and surgical wound so that patients can still ambulatory.

After ESWL procedure, it took one month and shards of stone really wasted along with urine. Generally, the stones with a diameter of 20 millimeters need to be done 2 times ESWL procedure. And, 99 percent of stones measuring less than 5 millimeters can get out of urine along with conventional treatments, namely drinking water.

Urology or the branch of medicine men and women the urinary tract and male reproductive organs are more complex. Answering the challenges in the field of urology.

5 Various techniques for Removing Kidney Stones

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:18:00 +0700

During this time the public learned that the stone contained in the urinary tract such as the kidneys can only be removed through surgery. But actually there are other techniques to overcome them.

Kidney Stones Treatment is based on the location, stone size (whether under 5 mm, 5-10 mm or more than 20 mm) and also looks at kidney function (still good or not).

Contained stones in the urinary tract can be in the kidneys, urethras, bladder or urethra. And the nature of this stone there is a hard (usually of calcium oxalate) and there is also a relatively soft (usually from uric acid).

Here are some techniques that can be used to eliminate or overcome the kidney stones:

1. Conservative techniques
This technique is usually to stone in the urethra and a small channel that is less than 4-5 mm, have kidney function is still good and there is no blockage. This technique is by eating plenty of water so that the stone can go out by itself, the length of this technique is usually up to 6 weeks.

If there is infection in the urinary tract, pain is not unbearable, decreased kidney function and urine bloody, and then the conservative technique must be stopped.

2. ESWL technique (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy)
This technique uses a shock wave focused on one point of the kidney stone to break the stones into smaller fragments and smooth (about 1-2 mm) and the water will come out along with urine.

But people who do this technique should have good kidney function, if not broken stones will not come out of the body. And with regard to the composition of the rocks that form, including hard rock if it usually takes more than one ESWL.

If repeatedly shot (ESWL) for a stone in the near term could decrease kidney function and high cost, usually only be about 2-3 times.

This technique uses modern equipment and procedures are safe and comfortable because without the use of anesthesia and the surgical wound because the shock wave is coming from outside the body, and reducing morbidity.

Patients with this technique takes some time until the stone fragments are completely lost, usually 1-2 months after ESWL should have controls like X-rays to see if it is clean or not to reduce the recurrence rate.

3. URS Engineering (Ureterorenoscopy)
This technique is done by inserting a tool through the urinary tract is equipped with a lens, and then insert a small instrument to break up the stone and remove it using special forceps. This technique is easier for women.

4. PCNL Technique (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy)
The technique is to remove kidney stones that are large (more than 20 mm) or deer horn-shaped stones (staghorn stone) with a small surgical wound (1-2 cm), approximately 84 percent of patients get a net figure of 100 percent stone through a one-time action.

This large stone will be destroyed by such a long metal instrument that accompanied ultrasonic or electro hydraulic energy into stone chips, and includes techniques with minimally invasive (minimal injury).

Patients who do not need to be performed PCNL general anesthesia, half of the body just enough anesthetic to the time of surgery about 2-3 hours, depending on the size of the stone.

This technique has been widely accepted as one of the procedures are relatively safe, effective, comfortable with morbidity (pain) is low in lifting the stones, and a shorter recovery period.

5. Open surgery techniques
Along with the development of technology, then the technique is open surgery (open surgery) is rarely done. This operation is usually performed to remove stones as kidney stones that are large.

However, this technique has a greater risk of bleeding, kidney damage and requires a longer recovery period than other techniques.

Regularly control for Patients with kidney stones

noreply@blogger.com (iipz) — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:32:00 +0700

People who had experienced pain of kidney stones or stones in the urinary tract should be diligent in regularly to the doctor's control. If not diligent control, stones in the urinary tract can sometimes recur despite removal action.

Stone in the urinary tract may recur, in one year about 10 percent of patients with stones in the urinary tract have a relapse.

There are several factors that can trigger kidney stones in the urinary tract. Usually comes from one of the risk factors of stone formation.

Example of the work, if he works in the field, often exposed to heat such as cooks or in the machine and rarely drink, and then there is the possibility of recurrence.

In addition to the work, a few other things can also be a risk factor of stone formation, urinary tract, namely:

Gender, males are more at risk than women

Shooting of kidney stones with ESWL

ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a device that produces the shock wave generated by a special generator. Patients with kidney stones lay supine on a special table and at the waist attached to a tool that delivers the shock wave. With the help of roentgen rays or ultrasound shock waves were focused by a concave mirror and its focus specifically fitted to kidney stones, then the generator is turned on and the stone will be broken into as the sand that will come out with urine on the day the next day.
