Kidney Stones – Symptoms and Causes

Image
Kidney Stones – Symptoms and Causes About one in 10 People will develop kidney stones, with the condition being slightly more common in men than in women. Such stones typically occur in people aged 30 to 60, and are created when minerals and salts in urine turn into hard crystals. People usually have kidney stones because they do not drink enough water or other fluids, or have too much salt or animal protein in their diet. Some of the other risk factors for kidney stones are: • Obesity • Metabolic diseases such as gout, cystic renal disease and hyperthyroidism • A family history of kidney stones Furthermore, about half of people who have kidney stones have another one within five to 10 years. Symptoms of Kidney Stones Most people with kidney stones do not have symptoms, but may experience a condition known as microscopic haematuria, which is the presence of blood in urine that cannot be detected by the naked eye. Sometimes, very small stones can travel through the urinary tract a...

Treatments for Kidney Stones

Image
Treatments for Kidney Stones   Tiny kidney stones may pass out in urine naturally without causing any symptoms, and larger ones may have to be removed through medication and other means. Here are some of the common kidney stone treatments. Medication for Kidney Stones For smaller stones, patients may be given alpha blocker medication to relax the muscles in the ureters, which are the thin tubes which transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This enables the stones to travel through the ureters more easily to be expelled in urine. Patients will need to drink about two to three litres of water per day to flush out the stones, and may be given painkillers to cope with the discomfort. Examples of alpha blockers include tamsulosin. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) A procedure called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) may be used to break larger stones into smaller pieces so that stone fragments can be passed out in urine. This non-surgical kidney stone trea...

Balisawsaw

BAKIT BINABALISAWSAW? ✅ Ang BALISAWSAW ay maraming ibig sabihin sa ating wika, ngunit ang pinakamadalas na definition nito ay ang MADALAS NA PAG-IHI buong araw (hindi lang tuwing gabi).  ✅ Minsan, ang BALISAWSAW ay tumutukoy naman DYSURIA o ang mahapding pag-ihi.  ✅ Dahil sa ang sintomas na madalas na pag-ihi o mahapding pag-ihi ay parehong sintomas ng impeksyon sa ihi, ang BALISAWSAW ay madalas na nauugnay sa pagkakaroon ng UTI o URINARY TRACT INFECTION. ✅ Ang normal na bilang ng pag-ihi sa isang araw ay nasa 4-10 na BESES (average ay 6-7 na beses). Kapag lumampas sa bilang na ito, maaaring sabihin na ikaw ay BINABALISAWSAW. ✅Ang pinakakaraniwang dahilan pa rin ay impeksyon sa ihi o UTI. Ang pagpasok ng BACTERIA sa daluyan ng ihi papunta sa pantog ay nagdudulot ng irritation. Isa sa mga common reaction ng katawan ay umihi ng umihi. ✅Ibang dahilan ng pagkakaroon ng BALISAWSAW:  - OVERACTIVE BLADDER  - DIABETES MELLITUS  - LABIS NA PAGINOM NG KAPE, SOFT DRINKS O ...

How to avoid developing Kidney Stones

Image
  How to avoid developing Kidney Stones Avoid developing kidney stones. People develop kidney stones when certain minerals, salts and chemicals in their urine, such as calcium and uric acid, become concentrated enough to form crystals. Following a few simple tips can help to prevent this. Drink plenty of water Drinking lots of water dilutes the concentration of stone-forming substances in urine. According to the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, the ideal amount is 2.5 litres to 3 litres, or about 12 cups, of water per day. Adding lemon slices or lemon juice to the water helps too, as the citrate in the fruit blocks the formation of kidney stones.   Go easy on the salt and animal protein A salt-heavy diet can lead to kidney stones because salt increases the amount of calcium in urine. Doctors recommend having less than five grams, or one teaspoon, of salt per day. Cutting back on salt is good for the body in other ways too, as it lowers blood pressur...

Can a CT scan detect a Kidney Stone? And what are the different kinds of Kidney Stones?

Can a CT scan detect a Kidney Stone? And what are the different kinds of Kidney Stones ?  Usually a CT scan is your best bet for finding kidney stones but it can depend on the type of stone and its size.  Without imaging you'd just be guessing there's a stone until you actually passed one.  Some 60% of all Renal Stones are radiopaque.  In general, Calcium Phosphate stones have the greatest density.  Followed by Calcium Oxalate and Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Stones.  Cystine Calculi are only faintly radiodense.  While Uric Acid Stones are usually entirely radiolucent.

How long can you hold your bladder?

Image
 How long can you hold your bladder ?  I’ve never held my bladder, as I’m not a surgeon and I can’t get to it without killing myself.  But my bladder can hold my urine pretty well. When I was young, “pulling an all-nighter” meant staying up all night studying for an exam. Now that I’m older, pulling an all-nighter means sleeping for 7 or 8 hours without having to get up and pee.  The average adult produces about 60 to 85 mL of urine per hour. When the adult bladder fills to about 200 mL, a person begins to feel the need to pee; that would be about 2–1/2 to 3 hours of urine accumulation, although the urge can arise earlier if the bladder wasn’t completely emptied the last time. A moderately full bladder contains about 500 mL, and a really full bladder (to the point of pain and urgency) holds 700 to 800 mL. That means a person who is really good at holding it could possibly go from 9 to 13 hours, depending on the body’s state of hydration and rate of urine productio...

Can Obesity cause Kidney Disease for men?

Image
 Can Obesity cause Kidney Disease for men ?  Yes, obesity can indeed cause kidney disease in men. Obesity is a significant risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is a condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time.  Here's how obesity can contribute to kidney disease in men:  1. Increased Risk of Diabetes: Obesity is strongly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, a condition in which the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys, impairing their function.  2. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Obesity is often associated with hypertension, or high blood pressure. High blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to CKD. Additionally, hypertension is a common cause of glomeru...

  Kidney Stones: Sapat ba iniinom mong tubig? Madalas ka ba kumain ng maalat ?  Ito ang mga iba’t ibang bato nag pwedeng mamuo sa Kidneys mo kung hindi ka mahilig uminom ng tubig yung less than 1 liter lang iniiinom mo per day. Lagi kang dehydrated. Madalas kulay dark yellow orange ang ihi mo at mahilig kang kumain ng maaalat tulad ng chichirya.   Bakit nga ba nagkaka-kidney stones.

Kaya dapat i-limit or iwasan ang mga pagkain na rich in Oxalate tulad ng patatas, kamote, tofu, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, beans, nuts, wheat, black tea, beets, raspberries, rhubarb at spinach.   Ibig sabihin ba nito masama din pala ang calcium sa kalusugan? Hindi naman. Syempre kailangan nati...

Why does holding your urine for a long time cause kidney failure

Image
 Why does holding your urine for a long time cause Kidney Failure ?  Holding urine for a prolonged period can potentially lead to kidney problems, but it doesn't directly cause kidney failure. Instead, it can increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other complications that may indirectly affect kidney function.  Here's how it happens:  1. Urinary Retention: When you hold urine for a long time, it can lead to urinary retention, where urine stays in the bladder for an extended period. This can occur due to various reasons such as weak bladder muscles or urinary obstruction. As urine stays in the bladder, it provides a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of UTIs.  2. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): UTIs occur when bacteria enter and infect the urinary tract, including the bladder, urethra, and in severe cases, the kidneys. Holding urine for too long can increase the likelihood of UTIs because bacteria have more time to multiply i...
