What are urinary numbers?
Calculi in urine are hard matter commonly referred to as stones - the word "calculi" literally means "pebbles" in Latin - which are located anywhere in the urinary tract. They consist of mineral Solimi, especially calcium oxalate in most cases and usually form in the kidneys. The vertical or bladder is those found in the bladder. If they are found in the kidney or pelvis area, they are called kidney or kidneys.
The symptoms of urine calculations may vary a bit depending on their size, but some of the more common symptoms are blood or pus in the urine; Severe pain that comes and leaves, usually in the groin and lower back; nausea and vomiting; And less urine output because the numbers block urine passages. If the numbers cause infection, there may be a feeling of burning during urination. There may be no symptoms, which is the case most of the time if the numbers are small and can only be considered as resnad by some type of scan.
Calculi in the urine are caused by imbalances of fluids and some mineral salts in the body. When some mineral salts are in excess, the numbers are formed. Usually there is a basic metabolic disorder that causes imbalance, and disorders are associated with the predominant mineral involved in the number of number. For example, if the stone is mainly made of calcium oxalate - approximately 85 percent of the numbers found - a common disorder that is the basis, is hyperparathyroidism, while the body is responsible for checking the amount of calcium in the body and "hyper".
Calculi is further tested for chemical make -up when they were handed over or were surgically extracted. Depending on what mineral is considered to be prevailing in make -up to be calculated, subsequent test or tests. Tests can help determine what is the basic disorder.
The most common and most reliable diagnostica test carried out to search or confirm urine calculations is scanning computed tomography (CT); Only very rare types of stones are missing CT scan detection. However, CT scans are expensive and cause radiation, acute danger in some cases such as pregnancy. Other tests are available, including X -rays, ultrasound and urine and/or blood tests. They are either cheaper than CT scanning, as in the case of X -rays, or do not cause radiation, as in the case of ultrasound, blood tests and urine tests.
Calculi in urine is usually treated by stimulating them to be transmitted or promoted through the urinary tract, usually by increasing the amount of liquid consumed and in some cases using certain drugs. If the numbers are too large to go through it, or if they do not go after a month, they can either surgically extracted or treated with a lithotripsist with a wave. This treatment sends sound waves through the body and breaks the numbers to be handed over.
