Learning The Role Of Kidney & Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidneys serve vital roles in the proper functioning of the body. When the body is affected with dehydration, the movement of fluids through kidneys slows down, due to which minerals and salts, most commonly calcium oxalate, stick together leading to their crystallization in the kidneys. These small build-ups of crystallized minerals and salts form kidney stones. They can affect any part of the body. Naturally, the kidney stones pass off from the body causing any major symptoms. But due to their enlargement, passing them off can be a painful affair.

Treatment Of Kidney Stones

In the initial case of kidney stones formation, simple home remedies can be efficient to treat the cause. Plus, abstaining from certain foods such as spinach, almonds, rhubarb, okra, beets, junk fried items (potato chips and fries), nut butter, and bran flakes is significant to decrease any negative impact on the body. Dehydration is a major risk factor for causing kidney stones. An intake of eight glasses of water every day can be the simplest way to cure kidney stones. If the affected person wants to pass off the kidney stones, 12 glasses of water per day should be included in the daily routine. The composition of citrate and intake of lemon juice at the start of the day can help in the breakdown of kidney stones. On similar lines, apple cider vinegar works, it has citric acid which dilutes the build-ups of calcium. The use of basil extract in the daily dose of diet is a widely accepted home remedy for treating kidney stones. Pomegranate juice has various components that are enriched with astringent and antioxidant properties. These components boost a decrease in the acidity of urine and they provide a painless passing off of kidney stones. Juice of wheatgrass and celery has been widely used to treat kidney stones. The antioxidant properties of wheatgrass clean the urinary tract from minerals and salts, reducing the chances of their crystallization.

Composition Of Kidney Stones

The composition of kidney stones can vary according to their components and home remedies can be targeted specifically to the underlying cause. Calcium stones are formed of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, or maleate. The risk of acquiring these stones increases when foods rich in high oxalate which comprises potato chips, peanuts, chocolate, beets, and spinach are increased in the daily diet. Doctors recommend a high calcium diet as an alternative response to treat such kidney stones. Uric acid stones are usually formed in men due to the highly acidic level of urine. A purines rich diet in animal proteins, such as fish, shellfish, and meats should be taken to decrease the levels of acidity in urine. The presence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) increases the risk of struvite stones in women. Medical attention should be readily seeking if the symptoms of kidney stones cause pain in the lower abdomen or genitals, persistent lower abdominal or lower back pain, fever or chills, vomiting, nausea, bloody urine, loss of consciousness, painful urination, or cloudy or foul-smelling urine. As per the medical reports, kidney stones are common in men and the age group of 20 and 50. Risk factors which increase the chances of kidney stones include dehydration, obesity, a diet with high levels of protein, salt, or glucose, hyper parathyroid condition, gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel diseases which increase the level of calcium absorption, and medications including diuretics, anti-seizure drugs, and calcium-based antacids.
