I was wondering this myself. I'm 40 yrs old and just had my first kidney stone experience. HORRIBLE! So, I read that excess vitamin C can increase the likelihood of kidney stones. It got me thinking about all the vitamin water I drink... at least 1 16oz bottle per day, sometimes 2 for the past couple years. What can I say, I like the stuff! I've been drinking plain ole water since my kidney stone.

It is 1mm less than the size of a quarter. 1/10 less...pretty freaking huge

Kidney stone is often associated with an increased urinary and serum concentration of substance found in the stones. Hypersaturation of urine with calcium is typically found in association with hypercalcemia . Hyperuricaemia associated with increased excretion of uric acid in urine may lead to formation of pure uric acid stone. There are four main types of kidney stones- (1) Calcium contaning stones-75% (2) Struvite stones( ammonium magnesium calcium phosphate stone)-15% (3) Uric acid stone-5% (4) Cystine stones-1%

If your guinea pig has a UTI it's urine may be dark or even bloody. The guinea pig will squeak and cry when going to the bathroom and may drink more water. If this happens call a vet immediately as the infection can spread to other organs.

Kidney stones are tiny pieces of minerals, like calcium, that collect in the kidneys and are too large to pass easily along the ureter, to the bladder, and out through the urethra. Symptoms of kidney stones, called nephrolithiasis, include extreme localized pain, perspiration, and often an associated infection. The most common symptom of kidney stones is a debilitating, shooting, intense pain anywhere in the abdomen. A kidney stone still lodged in the kidney would cause pain on one side, near your lower back. If it has moved partly down your ureter, the passage connecting the kidneys to the bladder, the pain might originate in your lower abdomen, side, or groin. A strong, continuous pain might indicate that the kidney stone is stuck permanently and will not be passed without a doctor's intervention. Other symptoms of kidney stones include clammy, cold, hot, or sweaty skin accompanying a fever or chills. Fever usually means the stone has caused a blockage, and your kidneys and urination cannot function normally. This kind of infection must be treated with antibiotics, as well as by removing the kidney stone. You might also be tired, nauseated, not hungry, or experience diarrhea or constipation. Some symptoms of kidney stones are very similar to the symptoms of a urinary tract infection or cystitis, especially in women. These have to do with urination. You might notice discolored or cloudy urine and pain, smarting, or burning during urination. A frequent or urgent need to urinate is usually a false alarm, as it may be difficult to actually urinate more than a tiny amount. Given these warning symptoms, a doctor can diagnose kidney stones by doing a blood or urine test, conducting an ultrasound, or taking an X-ray with or without dye. Then a medical professional can eliminate the kidney stone by a variety of methods, ranging from non-invasive flushing with lots of liquid, to minor surgery under general anaesthetic.

There isn't a certain amount of times that you will get kidney stones. something that you need to ask your self is are you at risk for them?Do you have family history of kidney stones ? Are you between 20 and 40 years? are you taking certain medicines such as diuretics (water tablets), antacids and thyroid medications? do you have only one kidney, or an abnormally shaped kidney?do you eat a diet high in protein ?are you being regularly dehydrated ? do you have very poor mobility (eg, being confined to bed) do you have a disease of the small intestine or a small intestinal bypass? Men are more prone than women, and around half of all people who have previously had a kidney stone will develop another one within five years.

This is a rather large name: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The extracorporeal means from outside the body (no surgery) plus is it done using sound (shock ) waves and the last part (litho-) means stone while the ending means to crush or to break up.

IMPORTANT! ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY HEALTH RELATED DECISION. I personally have been a green tea drinker all my life till I had a kidney transplant. My transplant doctor explained the following reasons why patients with an organ transplant should not drink Green Tea. 1. One reason why a transplant recepient takes transplant drugs is to suppress their immune (lower their white cell count) to prevent organ rejection. Green Tea raises one's immune system which may be good for a normal person but not a transplant recepient. 2. Also, the transplant drugs have chemicals that help the body to accept the new organ. Green Tea basically detoxify ( removes the potent of the transplant drugs) which may be good again for a normal person but dangerous for a transplant recepient. The Green Tea flushes the transplant drugs out of the system which suppose to always stay at a constant level (That is why taking your transplant meds at the right time is very crucial for the survival of the transplanted organ). To sum it up, if you are a transplant recepient don't drink GREEN TEA. However, ask your doctor because everyone has different circumstances. And remember to protect and cherish that life saving organ which had been given unselfishly out of love.

To remove stones from the kidney, most doctors advise lithotripsy which uses sound waves to blast the stone into smaller pieces that are easier to pass. This is better and much easier to recover from than the invasive method of cutting into the kidney and removing the stones.

It is rare for the kidneys to cause dull, aching pain. People sometimes equate back pain with kidney pain, but dull aching pain in the back -- especially the lower back or the middle of the back -- is usually due to muscles, ligaments, or even vertebrae and disks in the spinal column. Musculoskeletal pain typically gets worse with movement, and is relieved by heat or massage.

A pain that occurs above the waist but on the right side can be as a result of a strain. The strains usually occur when someone sleeps in an uncomfortable position or on a surface that is uneven.
