What causes kidney stones

summary

When I used to work outside and rent a house, my neighbor was a beautiful girl. Once when I asked her to eat Malatang together, she said that she had kidney stones and could not eat those things. I still thought how could she have kidney stones when she was so young? Later I learned that kidney stones refer to the deposition of minerals and organic matter in the kidney to form stone like particles. The causes are related to constitution, race, gender, environment and eating habits. Let's have a look.

This is because the intake of the right amount of insufficient lead to urinary tract obstruction, urinary tract infection, these are easy to cause kidney stones; in addition, long-term bed rest can also cause kidney stones. Renal calculi can be roughly divided into four categories: calcium calculi (calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate), uric acid calculi, infectious calculi and cystine calculi.

Second: minor kidney stones are not to worry about, for less than 0.5 cm of kidney stones asymptomatic, only regular follow-up examination.

Third: when stones cause urinary tract obstruction, it will cause intermittent severe pain in waist and abdomen. Hematuria is also one of the symptoms.
