Symptoms

Kidney stone can occur in any age group especially in those who drink less water or are taking supplements for a long time. It shows stasis and sedimentation of particles that eventually forms stone.

The pain is very severe and occasionally accompanied with vomiting or distress. This type of pain means movement of the stone-if the stone is stationary there is only a dull ache. Broadly speaking the stone is located in calyx , ureter or bladder. If the stone is small it moves from calyx to ureter and bladder and thrown out of body while urinating. These movements of the stone causes pain. A small stone easily passes- a bigger stone often gets stuck and can remain for long.

Calcium oxalate are the commonest stones. They are formed when the oxalates increase in the body. Natural calcium from food sources is better than calcium from supplements. Hence we need to decrase food sources rich in oxalates. Uric acid stones is a result of high uric acid levels in the body. High intake of purine rich food increases the levels of uric acid which increases the load on kidney to excrete. Higher excretion of uric acid reduces the ph of urine –making urine acidic. The helps form uric acid stones. Struvite stones are caused as a result of repeated urinary infections. Cystine stones are uncommon and generally runs in families.
