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.
