summary

When suffering from the stone disease, it is generally because the patients do not pay attention in their daily life. Although kidney stone is a benign disease, sometimes it may block the urinary tract, hinder the excretion of urine, cause pain, hydronephrosis, serious may cause uremia or even tumor. The characteristics of renal calculi are: complex etiology, diverse components, non-specific symptoms, many treatment methods and strong professionalism. In particular, the treatment should be based on the different circumstances of stones to develop different strategies and choose the best method. Therefore, after getting kidney stones, we need to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Let's take a look at the following.

How to treat stone

First, the purpose of the treatment of kidney stones is to remove stones, keep the urinary tract unobstructed, and make the urinary system play a normal function. The method of removing the stones should be based on the location, number, size, renal function, anatomical abnormality, infection and physical condition of the stones.

Second: Generally speaking, conservative treatment or observation is the main treatment for kidney stones less than 5mm. 5 mm ~ 2 cm of renal calculi, extracorporeal lithotripsy is the first choice. In particular, we should pay attention to the fact that extracorporeal lithotripsy can not be carried out only on the basis of a single B-ultrasound result or X-ray, but should be carried out after the diagnosis is clear. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the first choice for renal calculi larger than 2 cm.

Third: diet adjustment is an important part of the prevention of stone recurrence. For patients with calcium oxalate stones, we should reduce the intake of foods that are easy to produce oxalic acid, such as spinach, amaranth, cabbage, mustard and so on, and avoid taking a lot of vitamin C. For the elderly, calcium supplementation is generally not limited, but calcium supplementation should be carried out at the same time with meals.

matters needing attention

There is no reason why spinach and tofu should not be eaten. The incidence rate of uric acid stones is increasing year by year, which is related to the excessive intake of meat and fat. Patients with uric acid stones should eat less purine producing foods, such as animal viscera, seafood, beef and mutton, soup, nuts, etc.
