Passing of
Kidney Stones
For a patient who is
suffering from kidney stone, there is a treatment for passing
of kidney stone. The constituents,location and the dimention
of the kidney stones affects the spontaneous passage of
stones. Kidney stones that are less than 4 mm in diameter and
lie in the lower ureter region, have a 90% change of passing.
In contrast, stones greater than 6 mm in diameter have only a
20% chance of passing spontaneously.
The Surgical Treatment
contain following types of surgery for passing of kidney
stones. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which is called
as ESWL. In this shock wave treatment, a particular machine is
used by the doctor to send shock waves in a straight line to
the kidney stone. So that waves helps to break the large
stones into small pieces and then these small pieces flow and
exerts from your urinary system of your body in the form of
urine. Second method is percutaneous nephrolithotomy-lithotripsy;
third, one is Endourology which is endoscopic removal or
manipulation and Open surgery.
Medical study states
that 95% of stones can be removed without an incision
employing the first three surgical treatment procedures. The
technique, risk, benefits, success and potential complication
vary, thus I would advise you to discuss these with your
urologist. ESWL is one of the most popular techniques today.
It works by using shock waves to fragment your stone into
small pieces (sand-like) that pass freely through the urinary
tract. The urologist looks directly into the ureter during the
endourologic procedures, and manipulates and retrieves the
stone with small instruments. Both of these procedures are
low risk, highly successful, and usually done as day surgery
on an outpatient basis.
Passing of kidney
stones does not form again in our urine. Without proper
treatment, after a stone has passed, or surgically removed or
disintegrated by ESWL, the rate of recurrence is approximately
50%. On the other hand, with proper surgical and medical
treatment the recurrence rate can be reduced to 10% or less.
However, in order to select proper medical management after
treating urinary calculi it is imperative that the individual
undergo a thorough medical evaluation of the urinary stone.
Urinary stone medical
evaluations go through following stages of that patient. These
stages are detailed medical history, physical examination,
urine and blood test, kidney x-ray and ultrasound.
There is only
possibility of kidney stones to wash out . These kidney stones
can not be dissolved in our urine. Many types of of kidney
stones are made up of calcium and hence they cannot be
dissolved easily; however, stones caused by uric acid and
cystine are easily dissolved.
There are various
natural, home remedie, which are used as preventive measures
for removing kidney stones. These remedies are drinking of 8
to 12 glasses of water per day. For preventing the kidney
stone from formations, you have to develop a habit of taking
plenty of fluid in the form of water and fruit juices. This is
one of the helpful natural remedies for kidney stones. This
utilization of water in acute level helps to break the stones
for melting steadily with urine. A balanced diet which should
be free from calcium supplement. A proper stone medication
from doctor and close follow-up by your doctor..
