A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral material formed within the kidney or urinary tract. Kidney stones are a common cause of blood in the urine and often severe pain in the abdomen, and/or back. Kidney stones are sometimes called renal calculi.
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
While some kidney stones may not produce symptoms (known as "silent" stones), people who have kidney stones often report the sudden onset of excruciating, cramping pain in their low back, side, groin, and/or abdomen. These intolerant symptoms can last for months until the kidney stones are passed!
You may have kidney stones if you experience:
Severe pain or ache on in your back or side
Abdominal or groin pain
Have bloody or cloudy urine
Feel sick or vomit
A burning sensation during urination
Fever, chills
What causes kidney stones?
Kidney stones form when there is an excess of stone forming substances in the urine and a decrease in urine volume. Kidney stones containing calcium is the most common type of kidney stone in combination with either oxalate or phosphate. Other chemical compounds that can form stones in the urinary tract include uric acid and the amino acid cystine.
Factors that may increase your risk of developing kidney stones include:
Having a family history of kidney stones. If you have had a kidney stone, your risk of developing another one increases dramatically.
Being an adult. Kidney stones are most common in adults, though kidney stones may occur at any age.
Dehydration. Not drinking enough water each day can increase your risk of kidney stones.
Have a diet high in protein and/or sodium
Being a male. Men are more likely to develop kidney stones
Treatment for Kidney Stones
Lithrotripsy uses shock waves to break a large stone into smaller pieces that can pass.
Uteroscopic Stone Removal uses a small tool to get and remove stones stuck in the ureters.
Precutaneous Nephrolithotomy uses surgery to remove large stones from the kidneys.
The Renavive Formula uses a revolutionary advanced blend of natural ingredients that target the stone, dissolve the stone and then flushes the stone out of the body.
Rather than having to undergo treatment, it is best to avoid kidney stones initially. Taking an all natural product, Renavive, dissolves all types of kidney stones and immediately goes to work by cleansing the kidneys and helps pass stone particles safely and painlessly. Renavive protects the urinary tract and helps to prevent infection.
Prevention of kidney stones
Since kidney stones reoccur in over 60% of kidney stone sufferers, it is of extreme importance to prevent them. Finally, there has been a remarkable breakthrough in kidney stone prevention. Renavive's 100% natural formulation has been designed so that it can also be taken as a daily supplement to help stop stones from occurring in the future.
Additionally, if you are a kidney stone sufferer you should consume 8-10 glasses of water per day along with taking Renavive! After months or years of consistent dehydration, the body cannot effectively flush toxins, impurities and calcium. One result of many is calcium buildup in the kidneys. Fortunately, Renavive is available as an amazing solution!
