Lithonal
is a kidney stones teatment.
If you've ever experienced kidney stones, or you are
experiencing them for the first time, you know how excruciating
they can be. Perhaps you're not sure if you've had them before
but recall experiencing some mild or even serious discomfort
during urination, a dull ache or sharp pain in your lower back,
side or groin area. Maybe you've gone to the bathroom and were
shocked, even scared to see blood in your urine, especially when
you're in so much pain. What's wrong? These are all common
symptoms and signs of kidney stones, also known as renal stone
disease. The US National Institute of Health estimates that 1 in
10 people develop kidney stones at some point in their life.
Researchers at the USNIH have found that those who live near
large bodies of water (the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico,
etc.) are more likely to develop kidney stones, as well as those
who live in "soft" water areas (where water contains low levels
of calcium, magnesium and other minerals). Also, people who come
from a family with a history of renal stone disease are more
likely to develop stones because certain genetic conditions that
promote stone development can be inherited from parents.
Kidney stones occur most often in people aged 30-45, though they
can occur in men and women of all ages, and their frequency and
possibility for occurrence decreases after 50. Certain types of
stones are more common in men and other types of stones are more
common in women. The agonizing pain of passing a kidney stone
for a man has often been compared to the pain of
childbirth--ouch!
Kidney stones develop for several reasons and it is usually a
combination of these that make them most likely to occur. Your
kidneys play a key role in keeping you healthy. They filter your
blood, taking out the waste and adding it to your urine to be
expelled from your body. They regulate electrolyte and pH
balance in your body, as well as blood pressure by expelling
fluid from your body. Stones can form due to a chemical
imbalance (too much or too few of certain minerals), a pH
imbalance (to much acidity or too alkaline), and dehydration,
Several other medical conditions sometime lead to stones such as
a congenital kidney defect, chronic diarrhea, arthritis and
urinary tract infection.
