Kidney Stone: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

The stones in the kidneys, also called kidney stones, is a mass similar to stones that can be formed anywhere in the urinary system. Generally, the stones in the kidneys are eliminated through the urine, without causing symptoms, but in some cases, it can get stuck causing intense pain and blood in the urine.

The treatment is done with the ingestion of abundant liquids and medications, and in the most serious cases, it may be necessary to perform surgery to remove the stuck stone.

Symptoms

The symptoms of kidney stones arise suddenly when the stone is very large and gets stuck in the kidney, or gets stuck when it starts to go down through the ureters to the bladder or when it causes an infection such as pyelonephritis, says urologist in Dwarka. 

A kidney crisis can vary over time, mainly in the location and intensity of pain, but small stones do not usually cause problems and are often only discovered during urine tests, ultrasound or radiography.

The place and the intensity of the pain can vary according to the transit of the stone inside the organism, being of greater intensity when it crosses the ureter until the bladder, to be eliminated altogether with the urine, says urologist in Janakpuri.

In case the pain is very intense, do not calm down and there is fever, vomiting, blood in the urine or difficulty urinating, you should go to the doctor or to the kidney hospital in Uttam Nagar so that exams are carried out and the kidney stone treatment in Uttam Nagar is initiated as soon as possible.

Causes of kidney stones

The causes of kidney stones, also known as kidney stones, can be related to little fluid intake, diet, genetic factors and some diseases. Some of the causes are:

• Renal Calcium Calculus : of hereditary origin and should be treated with a diet with low sodium content and protein, recommending the intake of diuretics. The treatment can be done through the reduction of the consumption of foods rich in oxalates and fats, the intake of a calcium supplement to facilitate the fixation of oxalate in the intestine says urologist in Uttam Nagar.
• Renal calculation of uric acid : it can be caused by a high consumption of foods rich in proteins that generate the increase of uric acid in the bloodstream. In this case the treatment can be done with the ingestion of Allopurinol and with a diet with low purine content.
• Renal calculation of cystine : of hereditary origin, can be treated with a high intake of fluids, alkalis and D-penicillamine, when necessary.
• Renal struvite calculation : can be caused due to the complication of an infection in the urinary system. Kidney stone treatment in Hari Nagar can be done through the ingestion of antibiotics and surgery to remove the stones, because they tend to be large. 

When performing the tests that diagnose the kidney stone, the urologist in Hari Nagar can identify what type of calculation the individual has, making an analysis of its composition, indicating the best treatment. For all types of kidney stones, the main recommended kidney stone treatment in Palam is the intake of approximately 3 liters of water per day and a lot of rest, since hospitalization is not always necessary, since the stones can be naturally expelled by the body.

In addition to this, stones in the kidneys can also be caused by rare diseases such as primary or secondary hyperoxaluria, for example. These diseases promote an accumulation of oxalate in the body due to deficiencies in some enzymes that digest this compound, thus ending overloading the kidneys, which leads to the emergence of these stones, says urologist in Palam.

Treatment for kidney stones

Treatment during a kidney stone crisis should be indicated by a urologist in West Delhi and usually begins in the kidney hospital in Hari Nagar through the use of intravenous analgesic medications such as Tramadol and antispasmodic medications such as Scopolamine. After a few hours, in which the pain picture improves, the patient receives medical discharge.

At home the treatment is maintained with oral analgesics such as Paracetamol, rest and hydration with around 2 L of water per day, to facilitate the exit of the stones.There is also a home remedy that is widely used to treat stones and is chancapiedra tea, has diuretic and analgesic properties that facilitate the exit of them. 

In the most serious cases, in which the stone is too large to go out alone, it may be necessary to perform surgery or laser treatment to facilitate its exit. During pregnancy, the treatment is done only with analgesics and medical support.
