Extractions: Kidney stone analysis is a test done on a kidney stone to determine its chemical makeup. The test is done on a kidney stone that has been passed in the urine or removed from the urinary tract during surgery. Chemical analysis of a kidney stone can help identify the type of stone and can provide important clues about why it formed. Kidney stone analysis may also guide treatment and provide information that may prevent stones from forming in the future. People who have had a kidney stone are at risk for having another one, so prevention measures are important. A kidney stone (renal calculus) forms in the kidney from substances that separate out of the urine. See an illustration of a kidney stone A kidney stone may range from the size of a grain of sand to about 1 in.(2.5 cm) or larger across. Sometimes a stone may leave the kidney and move down a

Extractions: You can tell the age of a tree by counting the rings on the trunk. You can count horses teeth. Scientists can even date rock and Strom Thurman with carbon dating. And, here's my theory: you can tell a person's age by counting the pills in his or her medicine cabinet. Between ages one and sixteen, my one pill a day was Flintstone's chewable vitamins. Actually, I started out on something akin to Lucy's "Vit-a-Meat-a-Veg-a-Min." Each morning, my mom would tackle me, pin me to the floor, and force a table spoon of Vit-a-Gag-a-Choke-a-Retch down my throat. Thank goodness for Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty! So, one pill bottle: one to sixteen years old. At sixteen, my hormones waged war against my body and suddenly my face erupted into full-scale, thermonuclear acne. Add to the battle-scarred landscape 1970-style braces, and it looked like Paris had been bombed with the Eiffel Tower lying in ruins across the destruction. Fortunately, there were tetracycline pills which brought a bit of peace to my war-ravaged face. So, two pill bottles: sixteen to twenty years old.

Extractions: Almost everyone knows someone who has had kidney stones. The kidneys filter the blood to remove excess mineral salts and other soluble (dissolvable) wastes. The kidneys also produce the urine that dissolves these wastes and excretes them through the urinary tract. Kidney stones form when the urine becomes so saturated with a certain mineral that no more of it can dissolve into the urine (like trying to dissolve too much sugar in your iced tea). The undissolved portion of the mineral forms crystals that then clump together and grow into hard stones. Kidney stones usually develop in the kidneys. However they can form anywhere in the urinary tract. This condition is medically known as urolithiasis or nephrolithiasis. When kidney stones are quite tiny, they may pass unnoticed with the urine. Often however, they grow too large to pass easily through the urinary tract, and some stones have rough or sharp edges. When these stones are passing through the urinary tract, it can be quite painful. In some cases, kidney stones cannot pass on their own, and treatment with specialized medical equipment or surgery may be necessary. For most people, kidney stones are like dandelions in the lawn; they can be eliminated, but they'll be back another year. Therefore, a major part of the treatment for this condition is aimed at preventing recurrences. There are various types of kidney stones. Because treatment for each differs, it is important for the physician to determine the stone's mineral content and to identify any medical conditions that may have contributed to stone formation. Preventive treatment may be with medications and/or changes in the diet.
Kidney Stone: Definition And Much More From Answers.com
kidney stone n. A small hard mass in the kidney that forms from deposits chieflyof phosphates and urates.
http://www.answers.com/topic/kidney-stone

Extractions: The development of the stones is related to decreased urine volume or increased excretion of stone-forming components such as calcium, oxalate, urate, cystine, xanthine, and phosphate. The stones form in the urine collecting area (the pelvis) of the kidney and may range in size from tiny to staghorn stones the size of the renal pelvis itself. The cystine stones (below) compared in size to a quarter (a U.S. $0.25 coin) were obtained from the kidney of a young woman by percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL), a procedure for crushing and removing the dense stubborn stones characteristic of
Kidney Stone Treatments With Lasers

http://www.surgical.lumenis.com/optimized/kidney-stone-treatments.htm

Extractions: Effective kidney stone treatments have been long sought after, and laser lithotripsy has become the top contender. The procedure uses a flexible laser fiber inserted into an endoscope through the urethra to the stone located in the kidney. When the laser is activated, the laser beam vaporizes the stone. This high-tech approach has eclipsed other kidney stone treatments, becoming a standard of care and is revolutionizing the treatment of stones. These minimally invasive kidney stone treatments are increasingly replacing the traditional extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) technique where the kidney stone is bombarded by shock waves generated outside the body. For more information, please click here Adult tonsillectomy Laser lithotripsy uses a flexible laser fiber inserted into an endoscope through the urethra to the stone located in the bladder, ureter or kidney. When the laser is activated, the laser beam vaporizes the stone. This high-tech approach has become a standard of care and is revolutionizing the treatment of urinary stones. This minimally invasive therapy is increasingly replacing the traditional extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) technique where the stone is bombarded by shock waves generated outside the body. Peer-reviewed articles appearing in well-respected urology and laser journals continue to document the many advantages of laser lithotripsy over ESWL including: Better treatment for more complex stones

Kidney Infections Symptoms Stone
Symptoms of kidney infections / kidney stone causes and causes of bladderinfections kidney pain symptom and bladder kidney infections .
http://www.newhopehealthclinic.com/symptoms_of_kidney_bladder_conditions.htm

Extractions: Testing Your Health From Home. Bladder Infections Bladder infections are most common in women and are usually bacterial in nature. The primary causes of bladder infections include sexual intercourse, pregnancy, and instrumentation. A bladder infection will commonly produce frequency of urination with burning, and fever with pain in the lower abdomen. A simple urine test can diagnose this condition by showing white blood cells in the urine. One way to help rid the urinary tract of bacteria is to change the pH of the urine to be more acidic. A natural way to do this is to drink a diluted mixture of raw apple cider vinegar on a daily schedule when signs of bladder infection are present. Kidney Stone Causes Kidney Stone Symptoms The pain is located from just below the middle of the rib cage in the front, around to the back and deep in the abdomen as low as the pubic area. Pain can range from a constant dull pain to an excruciating sharp pain that fluctuates. Nausea and vomiting usually accompany severe pain. Other associated symptoms include fever, chills, blood noticed in the urine, swelling of the abdomen, pus in the urine, and a rare obstruction of urine output. A diagnosis is based on symptoms, urine tests, an ultrasound, or mostly commonly by X-ray. 90% of kidney stones can be passed and eliminated in the urine unless the stone is too large, surgery may be necessary.

Extractions: August 1 The Bacteria in the Stone Extra-tiny microorganisms may lead to kidney stones and other diseases By John Travis I n the fine tradition of transforming lemons into lemonade, here's a story of a laboratory annoyance and how it may lead researchers to a new therapy for one of the most painful maladies that people suffer. Almost a decade ago, E. Olavi Kajander faced a problem that has frustrated many a biologist. The biochemist at the University of Kuopio in Finland was trying to culture mammalian cells, but they simply weren't thriving. The cells grew very slowly, if at all, and many contained abnormal bubbles, or vacuoles, within their cytoplasm. The investigators didn't find any viruses or mycoplasmas, but they did capture images of unusually small bacteria inside many of the cells. In the years since then, Kajander and his colleagues have isolated and characterized the tiny microorganisms, dubbing them nanobacteria because they range in diameter from 50 to 500 nanometers (see sidebar). "They are as small as the largest viruses—and smaller," says Kajander.
