Hypercalcemia, Kidney Problems & their Cures

KIDNEY PROBLEMS AND CURES

The processes of kidney may be disturbed due to physiologic, morphologic and hormonal disturbances.

(i) KIDNEY STONE:

(a)Hyper Calcemia (Calcium Stone Formation): An excess of calcium in the blood is called hypercalcemia.

Reasons:

• Excess amount of calcium deposits as a stone.
• Excessive PTH secretions and excessive vitamin D ingestion may cause hyper-calcemia.
• The stone formation is metabolic disease.
• Materials like stones etc in the kidney become the reason of urinary obstruction and complications due to infections.
• Several kinds of cancer also cause hypercalcemia is the result of abnormal homeostasis of calcium.

(b) Hyperoxaluria (Calcium Oxalate Stone): An excess of oxalates gives the result of calcium oxalate stones.So extra oxalates is the reason of abnormal homeostasis.

★ Green vegetable and tomatoes may be the reason hyperoxaluria.

In patients, there are 70% calcium oxalate types stones in kidneys.

(c) Stones Of Calcium Phosphate: The incidence of calcium of calcium phosphate stones is 15%.

(d) Stones Of Uric Acid: The stones of uric acid are found 10% in kidneys of patient.

(e) Stones Formation: When salt are precipitated out during urine formation and accumulate later to form stone.

(ii) CURES OF KIDNEYS:

The stones of kidneys may be removed by following ways:

(a)Surgery: The kidneys stones may be removed by kidney surgery.It is general technique.

(b)Lithotripsy: Now a day, a non surgical technique is used to remove the stones from kidneys, ureter or gall bladder.This technique is famous as lithotripsy. 

• In lithotripsy different kinds of wave shocks are utilized to remove stones.
• The most common lithortripsy is extra-corporeal shock wave lithortripsy.
• The shock waves break the stones in tiny pieces or into sand.
• Ultimately, these tiny pieces are passed out through the urine body in urine.
• High concentrations of X-ray or Ultrasound are directed from a machine outside the body to stone inside.
