Kidney calculi refers to stones that occur in renal calyx, renal pelvis and the junction of renal pelvis and ureter. Clinically, it is more common in renal pelvis and calyx (that is, the beginning of catheter), and renal parenchymal stones are rare. Kidney is the main part of urinary calculi, and kidney calculi is more likely to directly damage the kidney. Some patients have no pain, but. It still does some damage to the kidneys, so early detection and early treatment are very important.

I have seen several patients with very obvious pain. The patient walked into the clinic with the help of his family. The patient only complained of abdominal pain, and was forced to stop talking because of the pain. The pain made her roll on the examination bed in the outpatient clinic, crying with pain, regardless of the image, until the pain was relieved. So pain is one of the main symptoms of kidney calculi.

Pain: this kind of pain is mainly located in the patient's spine, waist and upper abdomen, which is paroxysmal and persistent. The dull pain mainly appears in the waist, such as discomfort and dull pain. Patients will say that the pain is more severe during activities or childbirth. Severe cases will be accompanied by pallor, cold sweat, rapid pulse, and even some patients will have hypotension and even shock. At the same time, it will be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and constipation. If colic occurs, the urine volume is small, and there may be polyuria after the symptoms are relieved.

Hematuria: This is another common symptom in kidney calculi. Microscopic examination shows hematuria or gross hematuria. There are also seizures with pain as the main symptom. When accompanied by hematuria, careful observation shows that the urine is mixed with sand or small stones.

When kidney calculi was complicated with obstruction and infection, the patient developed epigastric pain or waist mass and went to the hospital. The symptoms of patients with staghorn stone pain are not obvious, which is easy to be ignored by patients because the disease is very complicated; In this case, Mr. Hu is such a patient. He didn't know he had kidney calculi until he was found out in the physical examination. It is not uncommon in clinic.

You can say no for sure! Even a small stone may cause kidney damage, and in severe cases, it may cause obstruction or even sepsis, leading to repeated high fever.

Clinically, it can be seen that most patients will not have renal colic, but no pain does not mean that no treatment is needed at all. If long-term ureteral obstruction is caused by kidney calculi, and repeated infection causes great damage to renal function, if it is found because there is no feeling, renal function may have been seriously damaged.

Kidney calculi is a common disease of urinary system. If kidney calculi is found, whether there are pain symptoms mainly depends on the stone size, whether there is obstruction and secondary infection. The pain is mainly due to the large range of activities of small stones. When small stones enter the ureteropelvic junction or ureter, in order to promote the discharge of stones, the ureter will move violently, so patients will have colic.

However, do not think that stones are too small to be cured. In fact, stones at the stone site may cause hydronephrosis and affect renal function. If the doctor doesn't need treatment for the time being after evaluation, it is suggested that Shi Hao check it once every six months for urine analysis.

After the treatment of kidney stones, many patients will ask, how to prevent the recurrence of kidney calculi? This is what I often come into contact with patients and what patients are most concerned about. How to prevent recurrence? Let's read on. ......

Drinking plenty of water can be an effective method to prevent the recurrence of calculus, because drinking plenty of water can increase urine volume and significantly reduce the saturation of urolithiasis. According to clinical practice, increasing urine volume by 50% can reduce the incidence of urolithiasis by 86%, so it is necessary to maintain sufficient urine volume, because drinking a lot of water can produce certain pressure in the proximal urinary tract of stones and can eliminate small stones.

Patients with urolithiasis need to limit excessive nutrition and reduce the occurrence of urolithiasis.

Supplement cellulose.

Check your stomach regularly. Speaking of which, some people may ask, does kidney calculi have to have his stomach examined? Yes, the stomach is our body's host for storing food and objects. There will be discomfort when there is too much gastric acid in the stomach, suggesting that it is necessary to take medicine to suppress hyperacidity and then hurt the stomach. The acid-making drugs we often eat contain a high amount of calcium, and too much calcium in the kidney will cause renal calcification and lithiasis.
