Microlithiasis of the kidneys, as manifested and how to properly treat

Microlithiasis of the kidneys is a formation of small stones of different structure:

• Urates - from salts of uric acid.
• Oxalates - from the salts of oxalic acid.
• Phosphates - from salts of phosphoric acids.

Usually microliths are located in the pelvis of the kidney, and the cause of pathology and formation of deposits becomes a violation of metabolic processes in the body. When diagnosing such a disease, it is required to start implementing preventive and curative measures as soon as possible, otherwise the stones will grow and gradually accumulate, which can provoke serious consequences.

The main reason for the formation of small stones in the kidneys is an overabundance of any substances in the human body. Microlits are classified by their composition, namely:

1. Uranium stones, which are formed due to excess concentration of uric acid.
2. Phosphate stones, which are formed due to an overabundance of phosphate acid.
3. Oxalate stones, which are formed due to an overabundance of oxalic acid concentration.

The level of microlith formation in the kidneys is affected by malnutrition, hereditary propensity to accumulate a large number of salts in the body, as well as harmful addictions of a person. In addition, excessive consumption of vitamin C, certain medicines, calcium, frequent drinking of hard water and its use for cooking, prolonged dehydration and other such conditions that cause the development of the disease can cause harm.

Symptoms of the disease

Symptoms of renal microlithiasis appear gradually, in connection with which, patients turn to the urologist already at the advanced stages of pathology development. The released form of microlithiasis can provoke salt diathesis in the kidneys, which is difficult to treat and long-term in contrast to microlithiasis.

The main signs, after the appearance of which you should visit a doctor, are:

• aching pain in the lumbar region, which can irradiate into the groin and lower abdomen;
• acute pain in the lumbar region in the process of changing the position of the body;
• frequent urge to urinate, darken urine and drain blood together with urine;
• increase in blood pressure and temperature, up to 40 degrees;
• strong puffiness throughout the body;
• deterioration of health after overloads.

Diagnosis of the disease

The main method of diagnosing microlithiasis is ultrasound examination and urine tests, which enable us to establish the chemical composition of the stones. To prevent the progression of the disease, the doctor appoints the patient compliance with herbal and milk nutrition, as well as replenishment of the body with vitamins A and D.

It is also recommended to consume a lot of water and eat more watermelons, as they help regulate and restore the water-salt balance in the human body. If usual preventive maintenance does not help to improve the state of health, the doctor conducts a special therapy, which is selected strictly individually, depending on the patient's health, chemical composition and the size of the stones.

Treatment of

disease Treatment of kidney microlithiasis is strictly individual and, as already mentioned, depends on the number of stones, their size and chemical composition.

This disease is considered the first manifestation of urolithiasis. Treatment is usually done quickly and does not involve the use of antibiotic drugs. If, after the examination, the doctor diagnosed the microlithiasis of both kidneys, the treatment process is characterized by a more strict adherence to the

regimen. The medical process is conducted in two directions - medical therapy and dietary nutrition. To implement medicinal treatment, special drugs are used to help normalize the functioning of the kidneys, especially with regard to blood purification, stimulation of dissolution and excretion of microliths from the body.

Dietary nutrition involves following certain rules:

• Strict adherence to milk and vegetable nutrition.
• Admission to the body of the necessary amount of vitamins A and D.
• Refuse from consumption of spicy and salty foods.
• Consume large amounts of water, it is better if it is mineral.
• In summer it is recommended to consume fruits, especially watermelons, which, due to the fiber contained in them, normalize the water-salt balance in the body and saturate it with the necessary minerals.
• And one more obligatory condition of a food is a replacement of an ordinary tea with renal tea with herbs, which can be found at any chemist's point.

If the patient completely follows the diet developed for him, he will soon be able to achieve a gradual dissolution of the stones and their subsequent excretion along with the urine. Preventive measures will prevent repeated damage by microlithiasis, relieve a person of renal colic, the symptomatology of which manifests itself more often and becomes more pronounced.

An increase in the amount of water taken will facilitate the purification of the urinary tract. It's good if the water is mineral. A herbal teas will restore the functioning of the body, and as the human body recovers, it begins to self-clean, while removing and dissolving the sand in the kidneys.

After complete recovery of metabolism, microliths begin to dissolve independently and are excreted along with urine. To prevent recurrence of pathology, due attention should be paid to preventive measures and regularly, at least once every six months, to visit a qualified urologist and perform an ultrasound examination of the kidneys.

Measures to prevent disease

Prevention of microlithiasis is primarily a way of controlling lifestyle, because proper nutrition and avoidance of harmful addictions help to normalize any life processes in the human body. The same applies to the functioning of the kidneys.

To prevent salt deposits in the kidneys, it is necessary to adhere to a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and stop consuming harmful drinks such as energy, sweet carbonated water, strong tea and coffee, and do not abuse heavy physical loads.

Do not start the disease, as this can lead to an increase in stones, deterioration of health and various complications - renal colic, kidney failure, hydronephrosis, and the like. In addition, the treatment process becomes more complicated, when it becomes necessary to remove large stones through surgical intervention.
