By following these preventive steps you'll lessen your chances of affliction. Steps: Eat less meat. Due to increased intake of animal proteins, the incidence of kidney stones is 10 times more prevalent now than it was at the turn of the century. Drink plenty of fluids - one study has shown that people who drink more than 2 1/2 liters of water every day have almost a 40 percent decrease in the risk of developing a stone than those who drank less water. Limit consumption of grapefruit juice and cola drinks. Studies have shown that these may actually increase the risk of developing stones. Adopt a diet high in potassium and magnesium - these minerals decrease the likelihood of kidney stones. Talk to your doctor about taking supplements such as pyridoxine and magnesium. Taken together, these reduce oxalate, a mineral salt found in kidney stones.

If you're trying to prevent osteoporosis but are worried about developing kidney stones, UT Southwestern researcher say make sure to choose the right kind of calcium supplement - calcium citrate - and look for a potassium citrate supplement to take with it. This is especially important for women who are at risk for kidney stones or who have had kidney stones before.

Extractions: and Conditions A B C D ... Y A kidney stone is the result of a chemical reaction that occurs when the urine becomes concentrated and when certain substances combine together to create an object that is too large to pass in the urine. Calcium oxalate, calcium and ammonium phosphate, uric acid, cystine and other substances (such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, lysine, arginine and ornithine) in the urine crystallize to form a hard mineral deposit called a kidney stone. top ^ A kidney stone develops when substances in urine form crystals that stick together and grow in size. In most cases, these crystals are removed from the body by the flow of urine, but they sometimes stick to the lining of the kidney or settle in places where the urine flow fails to carry them away. These crystals may gather and grow into a stone, ranging in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. Most stones start in the kidney. Some may travel to other parts of the urinary system, such as the ureter (the tube leading from the kidney to the bladder) or bladder, and grow there. The most common types of

http://www.mssm.edu/urology/patient_care/kidney_stones.shtml

Extractions: A kidney stone is a solid lump or concretion (generally ranging in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball) produced from the combination of urinary organic matter and mineral deposition. These concretions may pass from the kidney, down the ureter, and into the bladder. They may occasionally get stuck in the ureter so that the passage for urine within the urinary tract is blocked. What are the signs and symptoms of kidney stones People with kidney stones often have abdominal or back pain that can either be sharp or dull in nature. Urinary tract infections or blood in the urine can also be present. When an infection is present, a high fever may result. It is important to see your doctor if you have any of these symptoms because not only can kidney stones cause intense pain, but they can eventually lead to infections or kidney failure, which could require dialysis.

Extractions: These symptoms are usually caused by the blockage of the flow of urine from the kidney, or due to infections caused by bacteria, which can hide inside the stones. As many as 90% of kidney stones will pass out in the urine on their own, but in some cases, the stone can cause blockage of the urine flow from the kidney. This can result in the loss of kidney function or severe infection, if untreated, which may lead to death.

Extractions: Washington State University Home Skip Navigation By Lindsey Van De Vanter , WSU Today WSU researcher Linda Massey An ailment that afflicts U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq has prompted the U.S. government to call upon a Washington State University researcher for her assistance. Linda Massey, professor of human nutrition at WSU Spokane, is a world expert on diet's influence on kidney stones. Kidney stones are uncommon in people under the age of 30; however, soldiers in Iraq, most of whom are in their 20s, have an increased risk of developing kidney stones due to their unique lifestyle. Since 1991, Massey has studied the effects of variables such as milk, meat, soy protein, caffeine, salt and vitamin C on the formation of kidney stones. She was asked by a committee of the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine to testify in August on what soldiers should eat to prevent kidney stones while in combat in Iraq. Other experts testified about other ways to improve the soldiers' diets. "For soldiers who develop kidney stones, it's like they got shot in the leg," Massey said. "It takes them out of combat."

http://www.nwkidney.org/yourhealth/kidneystones/

Extractions: A healthy kidney filters out excess chemicals and waste from the bloodstream. These then travel to the bladder to be eliminated in the form of urine. If these chemicals crystallize and build up in the kidney, they can form stones. Stones can stay in the kidney or move into the urinary tract. Symptoms and treatment may vary depending upon the location, size, shape and chemical composition of the stone.

http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/f-w99/kidneystones.html

Extractions: Dr. Carol Johnston of Arizona State University published an article in Nutrition Reviews To this evidence, we can add another recently published study by Dr. Gary Curhan and colleagues at Harvard, Brigham and Womens Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital. For 14 years, Dr. Curhan et al. Over twenty years ago, Linus Pauling proposed that the RDA for vitamin C should be increased to 200 mg/day. At about the same time, he mustered theoretical and experimental arguments to support his belief at that time that the optimal intake for humans is about 2 grams/day. While the merits of ingesting that much vitamin C or more each day are debatable, at least we can be confident that large doses are not harmful for healthy people and may be of therapeutic benefit in many cases. In particular, the concern about the role of vitamin C in kidney stone formation, a source of speculation for several decades, appears to be no longer justified.

Kidney Stone Symptoms, Types, Causes And Treatment
Discusses how mineral crystals build up to cause kidney stone symptoms and how stones affect the urinary tract. Defines urology.
http://www.kidney-stone-symptoms.com

Extractions: The kidneys are twin organs, about the size of your fist. Red-brown in color, they are important parts of the urinary tract. They filter the waste products of metabolism out of the blood, maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance and regulate the concentration of acidity in the blood. Waste products are carried out of the body in urine. Hard masses develop when waste materials are not dissolved adequately in urine. Microscopic crystals of waste material remain in the kidney. Over time, the crystals grow in size, until they are large enough to cause blockages or other kidney stone symptoms. These deposits are also called calculi (plural for calculus The most common elements of calculi are calcium, oxalate, phosphate and uric acid. Stones can develop when excessive amounts of waste material accumulate and cannot be dissolved in the urine. Conversely, calcium and other materials may be present in normal amounts, but the body possesses insufficient water to process enough urine to dissolve them.

The Kidney Stone Web Site - Definition & Location
An Educational Resource for kidney Stone Sufferers.
http://www.rogerbaxter.com/KidneyStone/

Extractions: The most obvious reason to learn about kidney stones and modify a person's behavior accordingly is to avoid the intense pain which they cause. But the most important reason is because kidney stones can quickly lead to failure of the kidneys which is life threatening. A kidney stone that does not pass on out can block the urinary tract. This blockage will probably cause pain initially. But if medical attention is not received to identify the cause of the pain and remove the blockage, the pain is likely to gradually go away over a few days time. This lack of pain may cause the sufferer to think the crisis has passed when, in fact, the kidney which has been blocked by the stone has shut down. If left untreated in just a few days this shut down can lead to permanent loss of function in that kidney. A kidney stone can even rupture the collection system of the kidney.
