Today's topic is kidney stones and we are going to talk about everything you need to know about kidney stones including what are kidney stones how they are formed what are the types of kidney stone what are the causes of kidney stones what are the symptoms and Signs of kidney stone what are the treatment and preventions of kidney stone what diet what you should eat what you should avoid if you have kidney stone.
As we know that Kidneys are the main organs which filters out the blood and it makes urine urine has a lot of unwanted substances which are present in the blood anything which is access most likely will be excreted through the urine other pieces are the perspiration some way or the other it is supposed to go out of the body but Kidneys are the main organ which do that which help us out so we are supposed to make at least one and a half to two litres of urine everyday kidney stones are basically crystallized form of any substance which gets collected and then forms a Pebble stone inside the Kidneys are the ducts the pipeline which takes urine from both kidney into the bladder it can form into these pipelines this is called uretus and they can form inside the urinary bladder and even outside which is going from the urinary bladder through your external genitalia to outside that is called urethra so it can form kidney stones can form in the urethra in the bladder in the united or in the Kidney so anywhere in this week all renal stones kidney stones directrix stone or cystic stone on urethral stone so don't come home anyway but you have to understand form in a different location so they are formed in the Kidney and then they can pass out through this whole pathway and they can go out the body without causing any problems usually this happen many times let's start and it can get stuck there are three most common where do the stones can get stuck at these three locations are the three most narrow pathway in the pathway of urine you don't have to look into the details of these three location but yes I'll give you an idea first locations is at the junction of kidney and the main tubule the greater than second is the junction of the ureter and the bladder and third is the junction of the bladder and external urethra is 3 location significantly bigger amount of stone can get stuck stones kidney stone clean made up of anything which is heavy and present in a very large amount in the urine most common types of kidney stone common type of kidney stone calcium Store does not make a stone by itself combines with phosphate the most commonly kidney stones are either calcium oxalate stones or calcium phosphate show the first type of kidney stone is calcium so if you have a lot of very very high amount of calcium in the body if you have high amounts of oxalate or postpaid then they can form a kidney stone but that is not the only reason we look at other reasons which is the major reason for Kidneys and that does not me you stop eating calcium because a normal amount of calcium is very important very much necessary for your body functions low amount of calcium also causes kidney stone how I will come to that to the first type of kidney stone is calcium store II type of kidney stone uric acid if you have higher amount of uric acid in the blood they can get crystallized they can get together form a stoner Pebble inside the kidney or in the urinary tract sunstone third type of stone is true White stone are less common but they are usually seen in urinary tract infection patients those patients who have an infection of anywhere either kidney and ureter bladder used anywhere around the urinary track first White stone very very rare type of kidney stones are 16 and 16 stones are usually running in the family that means if your family has a very regular history of kidney stones you might consider testing your self esteem and let me tell you the way of telling what type of without actually examining the store you have to have to urine or blood to check for higher amount of any of these substances if they are present in a very high amount in your blood or present in high amount in urine and most likely the stone in the urinary tract is because of them what are the substances as we seen high amount of calcium along with calcium oxalate and phosphate then I am out of uric acid then if you have urinary tract infections and system I have to be considered so these are the four major types of kidney stones and we have to see now what is the basic reason pocket so is there are three basic reasons for skipping stones single reason in the world which can lead to quit listen to this 3 ost biggest reason is not calcium not uric acid not diet nothing is your water intake if you take less amount of water you are dehydrated your Kidneys will not have enough filtrate will not have enough pressure to flush out the substances you can form kidney stone even with Normal amount of all the substance is not drinking enough water not drinking enough fluid not forming enough urine if you are not forming in a urine the whole day that means around 2 litres of urine in a day for not forming it or if urine is in dark colour that yellow brown colour that means your urine is concentrated in you are not drinking enough fluid so that is a very high risk of developing kidney stones in kidney diseases renal stones and even urinary tract infections can happen because of this the biggest reason is dehydration drinking less fluid I cannot emphasize this in our biggest thing which you can do to avoid kidney stones drink a lot of water lot of lot what fluid the second reason guide the second reason obviously is very high concentrations of these substances in your blood that means high uric acid very high amount of calcium very high amount of calcium 16 patients who are very regularly taking calcium supplements plus they are taking calcium base and acid plus they are taking a lot of calcium high calcium foods all these things they get concentrated and inform stones then not just calcium let me tell you calcium is not the culprit but still it is supposed to be present in a high amount and phosphate is there if they are also have their then only calcium can actually on these things then we come on to uric acid is also a lot of people who have high uric acid especially if they have a very high protein diet and that is we have made a totally different video on uric acid specially made on uric acid explain every single aspect you and you need to understand about uric acid in that video to check out my channel for that video if you didn't if you haven't seen it already so we're scene higher concentrations of calcium uric acid phosphate obsolete and then urinary tract infections that means the third reason for having a kidney stone is medical diseases medical condition yes that is one of the reasons for a lot of medical conditions can lead to kidney stone how they can lead to kidney stones the biggest problem with medical conditions is one of the medical conditions in urinary tract infection The Other condition there are many conditions which can affect the kidney The functioning of the urinary tract you need to understand motion inside the urinary tract as I already explain one part contract The Other relax at this contract this relax is this contract which relaxes to the urine flow forward if because of an infection disease if there is a ok if there is something pressing if there is a tumor if there is hormonal imbalance a lot of diseases are there which can affect the functioning and the structure of this urinary tract and if there is any problem in this there is more chances that the kidney stone will be formed so this is a three reasons why you can have no confessions of a stone forming substances are having a medical disease which affects your urinary tract what can be the sign if you do have a kidney stone what will happen usually a small amount of kidney stones are easily pass without causing any symptoms signs or problem if your kidney stone is stuck somewhere because stones are not always a very smooth surface structure onset can have irregular surfaces it can have any shit for that matter sometimes it can form into the shape of a staghorn as well as me inside the Kidneys if it is a very large stay very large stone so stoned can view from a size of a granual to staghorn big stone as well so depending on the size and the shape the stone can get start anywhere so if the stone have any pointed surfaces it can actually cause abrasions and damage the urinary tract anywhere while passing down and therefore get gas cause 3 infection rocket when it gets blocked if the stone blocks one of the urinary tract obviously urine will not be able to go down and the pressure will cause swelling in the upper part of the urine and even there is swelling in the Kidneys now understand because of just block it you don't get any symptoms first we'll have what will happen because you are a urinary tract and your Kidneys do not have any nerves to cause a lot of pain but there is a covering on the kidney the cuff what happens when the pressure causes swelling in the Kidneys because of this swelling the capsule the covering is stress that causes pain who is your having kidney stone pain the problem has been there for some time and is now causing something called as hydronephrosis swelling and causing stretching on the capsule causing pain typically the pain will happen somewhere around the middle or lower parts of your back sometimes pain can come forward sometimes the pain if it is in the urinary tract Euro trash can go from here to down so that is a different radiation of pain depending upon the location of the store but that can be pain when there can be burning micturation there can be infection if there is any operations if the stone has caused the trauma inside while throwing down it can cause bleeding can cause serious infections also so seen some time so all these things are the symptoms of urinary tract sometimes obstruction system that means decrease amount of urine and sometimes the symptoms actually vanish all of a sudden with a dash of urine that the stone which was blocking has just passed all the things are signs and symptoms sometimes we can actually passport the kidney when we try to palpate the abdomen nicely Solan symptoms how do you treat it kidney stones depends upon the size and location if there is any complications all these complications which we talked about there are no complications if there is no significant problems in the Kidney size and we find the stone and if it is less than 1 pm is that stone has a very high chances of passing through the urinary track without causing much Rock and for that the biggest management is Lifestyle changes taking a lot of fluid doing a lot of Jumping exercises taking some Alpha blockers muscle relaxants which can relax the urinary tract to do the floor so that the the storm passes easily sometimes you have to give antibiotics and pain Killers to relieve the pain of the stone something it can lead to gastritis prevent acid to these all are included in the medical management of things problems in the stone is very large then we have to consider some procedure what are the procedures first is Lithotripsy we do we use a shock wave the skin to actually and shop break the stones into smaller pieces so that a smaller pieces can pass through the urinary tract easily that is called as Lithotripsy shock wave therapy type of procedure is we can actually put a small if the stone is there inside the bladder or in the units are we can pass a small microscope and we can actually catch the stone and take it out sometimes we can even pick it up from the Kidneys are the option of Lithotripsy there is an option of putting a sister scope of microscope inside the evening third procedure option is obviously surgery the surgeries can be done for a very huge size of stone especially if the area has already got infected or there is any past is present in the Kidney so all these are options which is considered on the patient patient basis depending upon the condition Symptoms and Signs And the problem the doctor does all this test and then decide what is the best plan of Management for your cure.
