You will receive the first lesson within minutes.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, situated in the back of your abdomen on each side of your spine, and their main function is to remove excess fluid, unneeded electrolytes and waste from your blood in the form of urine. The cause of kidney stone is likely to form when your urine contains a high concentration of calcium, oxalate, uric acid and rarely, or low levels of substances that help prevent crystal formation, such as citrate and magnesium. Another reason for the formation of crystals may be when the urine becomes too concentrated, acidic or too alkaline. A number of factors can cause changes in your urine like a family history or your deit, drugs, climate, lifestyle and certain medical conditions. There are four main types of kidney stones:
1 Calcium stones. 2 Struvite stones Uric 3 Acid stones. 4 Cystine stones.
General biologic events also lead to kidney stones. The key process, which leads to the development of kidney stone, is supersaturation. This process involves salts that include like calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, cystine carried in the urine. The concentration levels of these salts increase to such points where it is impossible to dissolve hence leading to crystal formation. Another reasons involved may be reduction in the volume of urine and increase in the volume of salts. The cause of calcium stones is when there isn't a proper balance of components in the urine that promote the formation of stone. Its 45% times a calcium stone case. Even an increased amount of chloride in the urine may lead to an increase in the amount of calcium. Similarly an excess amount of sodium leads to an increased level of calcium in the urine. Certain cancers or lumps in organs or an excess intake of salt in too diet may also lead to the formation of crystals. Short bowel syndrome results when the small intestine has undergone surgery and has lost its capacity to absorb fats and nutrients. This excess is then excreted into the kidneys leading to stone formation. Studies reveal that people who have a high intake of vitanimC meat, fish, and proteins are also at high risk. Resorption takes place when high levels of calcium are present in the bloodstream this is because bones break and release all the calcium into the bloodstream.
