Kidney Stones

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can vary in size, from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. When stones are small, they might pass out of the body without causing much harm. Larger stones, however, can get stuck in the urinary tract, causing pain and other complications.

Causes:

Kidney stones form when your urine contains too many crystals that can turn into stones. Factors that can increase your risk of developing kidney stones include:

  • Dehydration: Not drinking enough fluids can cause your urine to become concentrated, leading to stone formation.
  • Diet: A diet high in sodium, sugar, or protein can increase your risk. Consuming too much calcium or oxalate-rich foods (like spinach and chocolate) can also contribute.
  • Medical conditions: Obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain kidney diseases can increase your risk.
  • Family history: If someone in your family has had kidney stones, you’re more likely to develop them as well.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of kidney stones can include:

  • Severe pain, often starting in your back or side and radiating to the lower abdomen or groin.
  • Blood in the urine (hematuria).
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine.
  • Frequent urination, especially if it is painful.
  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Fever and chills (if an infection is present).

Types of Kidney Stones:

Treatment depends on the size and type of the stone:

  • Small stones: Often pass on their own with plenty of fluids and pain management.
  • Larger stones: May require medical interventions, including:
  • Ureteroscopy: A small scope is used to remove or break up the stone.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A surgical procedure to remove large stones directly from the kidney.

Prevention

  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out substances that may form stones.
  • Diet changes: Limit salt, animal protein, and foods high in oxalate if you’re prone to certain types of stones.
  • Medications: In some cases, doctors may prescribe medications to prevent stones from forming.

If you suspect you have kidney stones or have any symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
