HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR KIDNEY STONES
Kidney stones (renal lithiasis, nephrolithiasis) are small, hard mineral
deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid
salts.
Kidney stones have many causes and can affect any part of your urinary
tract — from your kidneys to your bladder. Often, stones form when the urine
becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together.
Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause
no permanent damage. Depending on your situation, you may need nothing more
than to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone.
Causes---Kidney
stones often have no definite, single cause, although several factors may
increase your risk.
Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming
substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your
urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent
crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney
stones to form.
Types of kidney stones
Knowing the type of kidney stone helps determine the cause and may give
clues on how to reduce your risk of getting more kidney stones. Types of kidney
stones include:
Calcium
stones. Most kidney stones are calcium
stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate. Oxalate is a naturally
occurring substance found in food. Some fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts
and chocolate, have high oxalate levels. Your liver also produces oxalate.
Dietary factors, high doses of vitamin D, intestinal bypass surgery and several
metabolic disorders can increase the concentration of calcium or oxalate in
urine. Calcium stones may also occur in the form of calcium phosphate.
Struvite
stones. Struvite stones form in
response to an infection, such as a urinary tract infection. These stones can
grow quickly and become quite large, sometimes with few symptoms or little
warning.
Uric
acid stones. Uric acid stones can form in
people who don't drink enough fluids or who lose too much fluid, those who eat
a high-protein diet, and those who have gout. Certain genetic factors also may
increase your risk of uric acid stones.
Cystine
stones. These stones form in people
with a hereditary disorder that causes the kidneys to excrete too much of
certain amino acids (cystinuria).
Other
stones. Other, rarer types of kidney
stones also can occur.
Symptoms--A
kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or
passes into your ureter — the tube connecting the kidney and bladder. At that
point, you may experience these signs and symptoms:
·
Severe pain in the side and back,
below the ribs
·
Pain that spreads to the lower
abdomen and groin
·
Pain that comes in waves and
fluctuates in intensity
·
Pain on urination
·
Pink, red or brown urine
·
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
·
Nausea and vomiting
·
Persistent need to urinate
·
Urinating more often than usual
·
Fever and chills if an infection is
present
·
Urinating small amounts of urine
Pain caused by a kidney stone may change — for instance, shifting to a
different location or increasing in intensity — as the stone moves through your
urinary tract.
