Kidney Stones

I have had four kidney stones, the largest being 3mm. That stone had me laid up on the couch eating vicodin for three weeks. So unless you have an 8mm wide ureter, I would get ready for some serious pain.

Presence of kidney stone may cause kidney pain and sticky urine.

You cannot get a kidney stone in the pancreas, but you can get pancreatic calculi (stones). They will show up on a CT scan if they are sufficiently radioopaque i.e. dense enough to cause a change in the X-ray beam which is picked up by the detectors.

You can suspect you have a kidney stone if you experience severe, sharp pain in your back or side, often radiating to the lower abdomen or groin. Other symptoms may include blood in your urine, frequent urination, a burning sensation while urinating, and nausea or vomiting. While these signs are indicative, a definitive diagnosis usually requires imaging like a CT scan or ultrasound. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment.

No. Go to the doctor.

It depends on the channel/transporter being blocked. For example, it's well established that a type of diuretic called a loop diuretic (eg, furosemide) causes hypercalciuria, a fancy term for excess calcium in the urine. Loop diuretics work by blocking a sodium-potassium-chloride transporter in the kidney, and indirectly result in decreased calcium reabsorption from the urine. Because most kidney stones are made of calcium, the excess urinary calcium caused by loop diuretics can predispose people to kidney stones.

By contrast, thiazide diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide) commonly used to treat high blood pressure often cause hypocalciuria, which is decreased urinary calcium. Thiazides work by blocking a sodium-chloride transporter in the kidney, indirectly causing increased calcium reabsorption so less ends up in the urine. So thiazide is a reasonable medication to use for treating high blood pressure in patients prone to kidney stones.

Thiazide and loop diuretics aren't technically "channel blockers", but I'm assuming you're using the term loosely. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

kidney is very important part of human body. It throws out the waste materials from our body. You can ease stone pain at home by drinking mixture of olive oil & Lemon juice, eating pomegranate & watermelon, nettle leaf with hot water etc.

These are some of the home treatment to reduce kidney stone pain.

The other poster is correct, but here is an easy explanation of a blocked urethra: It's like a straw that is packed with sand, but eventually if fluids are behind it (urine) the sand will eventually move. This causes infection. You don't have to pass a stone to have great pain. The other, if this person is an alcoholic it can cause high uric acids which can be caused from too much drinking. This can also cause gout (swelling of especially the leg or ankles) and can be extremely painful. It is adviseable that this person seek medical help as soon as possible. Look into a urinary tract infection.

To help prevent calcium stones from forming, your doctor may prescribe a thiazide diuretic or a phosphate-containing preparation. Drink more water. Reduce your salt use. Talk to your Doctor about a diet low in animal proteins and salt.

Sulfonamides are likely to precipitate in urine resulting in crystalluria.If the patient does not take adequate amounts of water(6-8 glasses/day) these are likely to aggregate into kidney stones

The outside.

Tamsulosin capsules can be used for the treatment of kidney stones. Tamsulosin acts as a relaxant which encourages a smooth passage of a kidney stone.

Shenshitong Keli is a Chinese herb used for promoting blood circulation, promoting diuresis, the removal of urinary calculus and for clearing away heat and toxins.

of course.!

Kidney stones can cause severe pain in different areas. Depending on the location of the stone, it may cause pain in your lower back on the left or right side. If it has moved on to your ureter, there may be pain in your pelvic region.

However, if you are having pain and you know that it is kidney stones, you should see a urologist who can determine if there is blockage occurring and possibly give you a prescription pain medication.

There are different types of kidney stones with different dietary recommendations. Talk with your health care provider about what makes sense in your specific situation.

Very Unlikely, but get medical help now.....it is more painful than childbirth! They will try to get you to "flush it out". Drink ridiculous amounts of water and go to emerg-sooner than later.

If your doctor tells you that your blood work shows a high rdw-cv, it simply means you have a higher than normal red blood cell distribution. This may be caused by an iron or B12 deficiency and is usually easily treated with a change in diet and the addition of supplements.

Kidney stones come in all sizes and shapes, sometimes they pass in a few days or hours and sometimes they require surgery. Urology doctors today are the best way to determine where your stone is and whatprocedure is needed to save the kidney from damage. I have had 25 surgery's for stones, I am a stone maker and after years of surgery's the doctors still do not know why I form stones every year. Everyone has stones but are not aware of them passing and some of us have to bare the intense pain, see your doctor, Urology Doctor is best. Be brave and take care of your stones, see you doctor, do not wait! stonemkr email is Hello@tcsn.net

e

sure can, I have one about 1 inch from the exit. I can feel it with my hand.

The kidney stones must be removed as they are very painful, and cause serious harm to the body .

If your kidneys don't work, you get very ill, very quickly. Kidney stones are irrelevant in this connection.

I have kidney failure and one of the first things that happened to me was I got kidney stones.

I don't know if this is typical of kidney failure.

Speak to your doctor.
