What Causes Kidney Stones?


A kidney stone can be a small grain of sand that can pass while urinating. But bigger ones will block your urine flow these leads to severe pain.

You can get kidney stones for the following reasons

Lack of Water
You need to make enough urine to dilute the things that can turn into stones. If you don’t drink enough or sweat too much, your pee may look dark. It should be pale yellow or clear.
If you’ve had a stone before, you should make about 8 cups of urine a day. So aim to down about 10 cups daily, since you lose some fluids through sweat and breathing. Swap a glass of water for a citrus drink. The citrate in lemonade or orange juice can block stones from forming.


Diet
Diet plays an important role in whether you get one of these stones.
The most common type of kidney stone formed when calcium and oxalate stick together when your kidneys make urine. Oxalate is a chemical that is in many healthy foods and vegetables. Your doctor advises you to limit high-oxalate foods if you had this type of stone.
Examples of high-oxalate foods include:
·         Spinach
·         Rhubarb
·         Grits
·         Bran cereal
·         Sodium intake
·         Limit salt intake
·         Animal protein Rich in uric and forms uric acid stones


Obesity
There are more chances to get a kidney stone if you’re obese.
Weight loss surgery can help you shed pounds and improve your health. But studies suggest that people who have the most common weight-loss operation, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, have an increased risk of stones. Not every weight loss surgery carries this risk. Only the ones that cause malabsorption.



Other medical conditions that can form kidney stones

Diseases can encourage kidney stones to form.

Certain genetic diseases: One example is a medullary sponge kidney, a birth defect that causes cysts to form in the kidneys.

Type 2 diabetes: It can make your urine more acidic, which encourages stones.

Gout: This condition makes uric acid build up in the blood and form crystals. Kidney stones can become large and very painful.

Hyperparathyroidism: Your parathyroid glands can pump out too many hormones, which increases calcium levels in your blood and urine.

Renal tubular acidosis: This kidney problem causes too much acid to build up in the body.
