Kidney stone vary considerably in size. Some are as small as a grain of sand while others are so great to fill the entire pelvis (where urine comes out first, before the ureters) kidneys.Kidney stones are not always painful and sometimes found after x-rays or ULTRASOUND examination. Kidney stones usually occurs in men previously healthy aged between 30 to 50. Men have a greater risk than women by a ratio of 4:1.
Several factors cause kidney stones include family history, also suffer from urinary stones, consuming foods that contain a lot of calcium oxalate or excessive and did not apply a balanced nutritional patterns, never suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary tract blockage and abnormalities in parathyroid gland.
Less drinking can also lead to kidney stones due to the concentration of the substance in urine of stone formers increased concentrations resulting in the formation of the stone easier to occur. Not only that, short of inhibitir such as citric acid and glikoamiloglikan can also cause kidney stones because the leftovers are not terproses thus forming crystals.
Symptoms of kidney stones marked pain especially on the back. This is usually concentrated on one side of the back, but can also fit into the abdomen or the groin down to where it can result in pain until such a prick.

If the State of urinary stones are still small and estimated by doctors still can do, try expectative drugs therapy and drink plenty. Whereas if the State stone of urinary estimated difficult to be eliminated, leading to blockage and infection in the kidneys which causes impaired kidney function itself, inevitably must use a tool called ESWL (Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotrisp) where a kidney stone will be destroyed with the shock wave so that it becomes a small fractions thn can come out with the urine.
ESWL is handling without surgery, the patient does not feel pain, it does not need to be in usage and do not need hospitalization. If the hardness of rock, stone and rock quantities position which is impossible to overcome with ESWL treatment tool, which is another alternative with the PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomi), which works by inserting a pair of binoculars to the kidneys through the waist and stone stone breakers as well as the tools are solved directly are issued at the same time. If ESWL and PCNL is not can be done on a case to a specific case, the option of surgery would be the last action option to be able to issue the urinary stones.
For the case of urinary stones in the channel between kidney and urinary pouches are called ureters then the choice will fall on the URS (Ureterorenoskopy) i.e. the procedure spesialistik by using endoskopik-sized 3 millimeters that are inserted through the ureters to the urinary tract. Cubes solved by airwaves and stone fractions will be issued at the same time. If the stone is in a bag of piss can be overcome by means of endosopy by using the Prod included Cystoscopy Lithotripsy via urethra urinary tract.
