Kidney Stone
Kidney stone or renal calculi, are solid masses made of crystals. Kidney stones usually originate in the kidneys. However, they can develop anywhere along the urinary tract, which consists of these parts:
- kidneys
- ureters
- bladder
- urethra
Kidney stones are one of the most painful medical conditions. The causes of kidney stones vary according to the type of stone. The different types of kidney stones include:
1) Calcium
Calcium stones are the most common. Eating fewer oxalate rich foods can reduce your risk of developing this type of stone. High-oxalate foods include:
- potato chips
- peanuts
- chocolate
- spinach
2) Uric acid
This type of kidney stone is more common in men than in women. They can occur in people with gout or those going through chemotherapy. This type of stone develops when urine is too acidic. A diet rich in purines can increase urine’s acidic level. Purine is a colorless substance in animal proteins, such as fish, shellfish, and meats.
3) Struvite
This type of stone is found mostly in women with urinary tract infections (UTIs). These stones can be large and cause urinary obstruction. They result from a kidney infection.
4) Cystine
Cystine stones are rare. They occur in both men and women who have the genetic disorder cystinuria. With this type of stone, cystine, an acid that occurs naturally in the body leaks from the kidneys into the urine.
Other risk factors include:
- dehydration
- obesity
- a diet with high levels of protein, salt, or glucose
- hyperparathyroid condition
- gastric bypass surgery
- inflammatory bowel diseases that increase calcium absorption
- taking medications such as triamterene diuretics, antiseizure drugs, and calcium-based antacids
