Hello Nurwakhidfauzan, thank you for your question on HealthReplies.com
Kidney stones or in medical language called "nephrolithiasis" is the formation of hard material that resembles a stone in the kidney. This material is formed from the remnants of substances in the blood that are filtered through the kidneys, then settle over time. Based on the type, there are 4 types of kidney stones, namely calcium stones, uric acid stones, struvite stones and cystine stones.
In addition to food waste, kidney stones can be caused by:
Not drinking enough water, being overweight, taking certain drugs, having had surgery on the digestive tract, often taking supplements that contain high calcium, Family history of suffering from a similar disease. Symptoms that appear in this patient are generally in the form of
Pain in the waist / side of the abdomen Frequent urination Urine color looks cloudy Restlessness Sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting Treatment for kidney stones depends on the type and size of the stone itself. Therapy using drugs from within can generally be given if the stone size is less than 0.5 cm. However, if the size is larger then the right choice is surgery. There are various types of operations, including:
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), this procedure uses sound waves with high frequency Open surgery, this procedure is done by opening the abdomen at the waist so the doctor can remove stones in the kidney Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), this procedure is done by making small incisions This allows the device to enter the kidney and break up the stone. This procedure is carried out if the use of ESWL cannot be carried out. It is recommended to consult directly with the surgeon who treats your father, so that the best treatment for your father's recovery can be discussed. To prevent the appearance of these stones in the future, several things can be done, including:
Drink water at least 2 liters/day Limit consumption of foods, drinks and supplements that can trigger the growth of stones such as nuts, sardines, black tea, sweet potatoes, spinach, grapes, asparagus If you take drugs, make sure they are only given by a doctor. If you feel pain, you can take pain relievers such as paracetamol
