OVERVIEW: Kidney stone disease, also known as nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis, is when a solid piece of material (kidney stone) develops in the urinary tract. Kidney stones typically form in the kidney and leave the body in the urine stream. A small stone may pass without causing symptoms.
CAUSES:
- Dehydration
- Obesity
- Diet with high levels of protein, salt, or glucose
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Bowel diseases
- Certain medications
SYMPTOMS:
- Blood in the urine
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Discolored or foul-smelling urine
- Chills
- Fever
- Frequent need to urinate
- Urinating small amounts of urine
TREATMENT: Stone size influences the rate of spontaneous stone passage. For example, up to 98% of small stones (less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter) may pass spontaneously through urination within four weeks of the onset of symptoms. Here we provide some products without any side
effects helpful for all initial symptoms.
