Kidney Stones
Overview
The kidney acts as a filter for blood, removing waste products from the body and helping regulate the levels of chemicals important for body function. The urine drains from the kidney into the bladder through a narrow tube called the ureter. When the bladder fills and there is an urge to urinate, the bladder empties through the urethra, a much wider tube than the ureter.
In some people, the urine chemicals crystallize and form the beginning, or a nidus, of a kidney stone. These stones are very tiny when they form, smaller than a grain of sand, but gradually they can grow to a quarter inch or larger. The size of the stone doesn't matter as much as where it is located.
When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but should it fall into the ureter, it acts like a dam. The kidney continues to function and make urine, which backs up behind the stone, stretching the kidney. This pressure build up causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms of a kidney stone are resolved.
Causes of Kidney Stones
As the body consumes toxins, the kidneys become over-burdened with acid wastes. Nephritis, uraemia poisoning, and bladder diseases are all acid related conditions, which can be helped greatly by alkalizing the bloodstream.
Dehydration can be a cause because the dehydrated personn's urine becomes more concentrated, allowing chemicals to come in closer contact and begin forming the nidus of a stone.
Kidney stones begin as tiny specks; they gradually build into solid stones, composed of phosphates, urates, etc. They are another form of acidic salts.
Symptom
When a tubular structure is blocked in the body, pain is generated in waves as the body tries to unblock the obstruction. These waves of pain are called Colic.
- Renal colic (renal is the medical term for things related to the kidney) has a classic presentation when a kidney stone is being passed.
- Sweating, nausea and vomiting are common.
- Blood may be visible in the urine because the stone has irritated the ureter. Blood in the urine, however, does not always mean a person has a kidney stone. There may be other reasons for the blood, including kidney and bladder infections, trauma, or tumors. Urinalysis with a microscope may detect blood even if it is not appreciated by the naked eye. Sometimes, if the stone causes complete obstruction, there may be no blood in the urine because it cannot get past the stone.
Kidney Stones Treatment
Prevention is always the preferable way to treat kidney stones. Remaining well hydrated and keeping the urine dilute will help prevent kidney stones from forming.
Drinking plenty of alkaline water will prevent kidney stones from forming, and even after their formation, it can help dissolve them.
