#what causes urolithiasis

[radioactiveradley]

PATHOLOGY OF THE URINARY SYSTEM (aka: STUFF WHAT GOES WRONG WITH YER PISS BEANS)

(AND YER PISS TUBES)

(and the pretty pictures I take of them)

[a warning: this post contains radiographic images and non-graphic description of serious kidney pathologies, including paediatric cancer]

Let's kick off with an old familiar friend! Yeah, I'm talking -

UROLITHIASIS (the humble kidney stone!)

Wanna know something horrific? The biggest kidney stone on record weighed over a kilogram. It was 17 cm across. Just. Imagine. Trying to piss that out…

Urolithiases are formed anywhere among your urinary tracts. They’re commonly found in the kidneys, giving rise to the more common term, renal calculi, or kidney stones.

Urolithiasis occurs when compounds within your urine crystallise. If your urine becomes too acidic, too base, contains too many of these compounds for them to remain in solution, or simply… sits around too long without flowing, it literally petrifies into a solid lump!

Some unlucky souls are just… predisposed to developing them. If you have had a kidney stone in the past, you are far more likely to get another one in the future. There also seems to be a genetic link – so if someone in your immediate family gets kidney stones, you have a higher risk.

Kidney stones typically hang out in the pelvis of your kidney and don’t cause an issue. Until you try to piss them out. Remember our kidney diagram (drawn on a conveniently shaped bean)?

You might notice that the ureters are significantly smaller than the renal pelvis. In other words…

Most renal calculi are made of CALCIUM (oxalate, usually). This is very, very good (for us. Less so for you) because calcium attenuates x-rays – meaning, it glows all pretty and shiny when we take a radiograph!

Here’s a kidney stone on an Abdominal X-Ray!

And a twinkly artefact caused by a kidney stone on Ultrasound!

But the best way to assess urolithiases, is, of course, with CT!

For realsies. We don’t need to inject contrast intravenously, because the kidney stones are (typically) shiny – which cuts down on time and worry, as it means you’re at no risk for having an adverse reaction! So a CT KUB (checking Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder for stones) is basically just a quick tumble in the washing machine (CT scanner), with a lovely clear picture as a result!

Look at these babies!! So sharp!!! So clear!!!!!! So shiny!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a beautiful matching pair of renal calculi right there – and to make things better, they’re (currently) non-obstructive, so this patient isn’t in suffering The Agonies!

Speaking of The Agonies…

Most kidney stones are passable, albeit with extreme pain.

However, some ain’t going anywhere. Especially staghorn calculi, which, um. One, stags have antlers. Two…

more like a fuckin' MOOSE ANTLER amirite????

But yeah, those buggers aren’t coming out. That’s almost definitely going to require surgery!

Smaller calculi can still cause problems when they become obstructive – i.e., they block the passage of your peepee. They can lead to:

HYDRONEPHROSIS (dilation of the renal pelvis due to retained urine, seen here in the Left kidney [right side of image])

HYDROURETER (dilation of the ureter)

So, what do we do with bothersome calculi? How about some...

EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE LITHOTRIPSY (ECSWL, because we love a sexy little acronym here in medworld).

We blast the stone apart with shockwaves, from outside your body! Ultrasound turned up to 11! Unfortunately, it only works on certain densities of stone, and on small stones.

LASER LITHOTRIPSY

(same thing but…. ZIP ZAP LASERZZZZZ]

SURGERY – PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY (PCNL).

(I totally haven’t added to this diagram in any way. This is how it works. Trust me.)

LOADS of other stuff can go wrong with The Ol’ Piss Beans

We have:

RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

The most common form of kidney cancer.

For suspected malignancies, we do a CT Urogram that assesses the whole urinary tract. This takes significantly longer than a KUB, but is well worth the results. This is a three-phase scan. We do...

A regular KUB non-contrast scan to check for calculi and to get our baseline Hounsfield Units ('grayness' and densities) for the kidneys. Then we inject contrast in a 'split bolus' - one load immediately, and another roughly 8 minutes in, scanning roughly a minute after the second injection is given. We scan 80 secs after the first contrast bolus is administrered, for the 'nephographic' phase, which enhances the renal cortex & medulla, and makes neoplastic changes and renal masses obvious (see image above). Then we wait 10-ish minutes and scan for the 'excretory' phase, after the contrast has worked its way through your kidneys, to detect 'filling defects' (anything that stops contrast opacification of the ureters) and pathologies related to the urinary collection system.

NEPHROBLASTOMA

This is one of the more common cancers found in kids. Although paediatric cancer is never exactly a happy topic, this cancer is now curable in roughly 90% of cases, thanks to the early removal of kidneys and the possibility of transplants.

Autosomal Dominant (and Recessive) Polycystic Kidney Disease

An inherited renal disease that can cause you to go into End Stage Renal Failure due to the healthy tissue in your kidneys becoming completely overtaken by cysts. As a result, your kidneys can grow more and more, until they practically fill your whole abdomen. 45% of patients will be in ESRF and need dialysis by the age of 60. Thankfully, transplants are an option.

Other commonly encounutered renal pathologies include trauma, which I talked about in my first kidney ramble (linked here!), infections, and more.

I hope you enjoyed this whistle-stop tour of Stuff That Can Go Wrong With The Kidney, And How We Look At Them Gnarly Beans!

....And, um, I spent way too long making this and now need to pee. This is your reminder to go empty that bladder if you need to! Stop those stones!

Podcast: Role Of Diet In Prevention Of Kidney Stones | Nelivigi Multispeciality and Urology Hospital Bellandur

Welcome back to “Urology for Everyone” podcast, this is Dr. Girish Nelivigi, Urologist and Andrologist with you. In today’s podcast episode I am going to talk about “What is the role of diet in the prevention of Kidney Stones?”

This is the most common question asked by patients with kidney stones. The common perception among people is that a specialized diet can prevent stones. However, the reality is far more complex. There is no particular diet that can prevent the formation of kidney stones. Diet plays a role only when a person consumes food that is overly excessive or severely deficient in some nutrients. For example, a diet severely deficient in calcium may cause calcium stones. This is because a calcium-deficient diet increases the absorption of oxalate that leads to stone formation. At the other end of the spectrum, calcium supplements may increase the risk of stone formation especially when these supplements are taken at a separate time from the main meals.

A common question asked is whether a patient with stones should cut down on the consumption of milk and other dairy products like cheese, curds, and paneer. All these foods contain calcium and there is no need to cut down on these foods for the reason we discussed earlier.

So, today’s podcast is very important to know what is the role of diet in the prevention of kidney stones. Listen to it carefully.

Bladder stones

[drmannimal]

Urolithiasis

Stones can be located anywhere along the urinary tract - nephrolith, ureterolith, urocystolith, urethrolith.

Signs of urolithiasis may include: - Abdominal pain - Abnormalities of urination (difficulty, frequency, blood) - Straining with the absence of urine (this is an emergency - obstruction)  - Anorexia - Vomiting - Depression - Palpation of stone in empty bladder or urethra per rectum

Diagnostics:

Bloodwork If blockage may see post renal azotemia - increased K, P, BUN, creatinine.

Urinalysis Urinary tract inflammation - hematuria, pyuria, may see bacteriuria. Urine pH - struvite crystals precipitate in alkaline urine. Crystals - presence does not mean there are stones, absence does not mean there are not stones. Can be observed in normal individuals.

What is the relationship between stones and UTIs? Stones may lead to infection - mucosal damage, incomplete voiding, bacterial entrapment in stones. UTIs may lead to stones - urease producing bacteria can alkalinize urine.

Radiographs Stones only visible if >1mm in diameter. Generally radiopaque (visible on radiograph) - struvite and calcium oxalate. Asses bladder size - evidence of obstruction? Ultrasound is superior for detection as it detects all types of stones (urate, cystine, and calcium phosphate may not show up on radiograph).

Above is a lateral view demonstrating stones within the bladder. A V/D was also obtained. Always take at least two views. This patient presented for increased frequency of small amounts of urine.

Types of stones:

Struvite Accounts for 50% of canine stones and 30% of feline stones. UTI may predispose to the formation through acidification of the urine. 

Calcium Oxalate Accounts for 35% of canine stones and 50-70% of feline stones.

Urate  Seen in dogs with portosystemic shunts - high excretion of ammonium biurate crystals. Seen in dalmations - defective hepatic transport of uric acid. My not show on radiographs - show up on ultrasound.

Cystine Inherited disorder - excessive elimination of cystine in the urine. Most commonly seen in male Dachshunds between age 3-6. Stones may show faintly on radiographs - show up on ultrasound.

Silicate Linked to consumption of large amounts of corn gluten and soybean hulls (high in silicates).

Treatment:

Treatment largely depends on the presentation of the patient. Medical management is not suitable for many patients (obstruction occurring or imminent, stone type not known, very large stones, sharp stones etc). If obstructed, emergency intervention is required.

Medical Management Calcium oxalate, urate, cystine, and silicate stones CAN NOT be dissolved and require surgical removal. Struvite stones can occasionally be dissolved with a special diet.

Surgical Treatment Stones may be removed surgically. Surgery varies depending upon the location of the stone. Bladder stones are removed via cystotomy which is often performed in general practice. Stones should be sent away for analysis to determine the appropriate steps moving forward (ie diet).

Above is an exposed bladder at the start of a cystotomy procedure. The patient was only passing small amounts of urine. Over 300ml of urine was removed from the bladder before an incision was able to be made.

Above is the same bladder after emptying the urine via cystocentesis, before incision.

Above are the stones that were removed from the bladder and urethra. The largest stone pictured was located within the urethra, causing a partial obstruction. The stones were sent away for analysis.

Aftercare Many of these stones have a high occurrence rate. Prevention with the appropriate prescription diet is essential. Treatment of concurrent urinary tract infection is essential. Appropriate monitoring is helpful in guiding recommendations moving forward - ie follow up urinalysis.

What is prostatomegaly & how frequently is it noticed?

Castrated male ferrets can range in age from middle age to old and suffer from the potentially serious ailment known as prostate disease. Indeed, urolithiasis is less frequent in male ferrets than urethral blockage followed by prostatomegaly. Although the mechanism behind the formation of prostatic cysts is unknown, androgens appear to increase the growth of prostatic tissue.

What causes the prostate gland to grow?

They are typically benign until a clinical examination and noticeably abnormal laboratory blood tests indicate a suspected cancer development in the prostate, which would require a confirmed prostate biopsy. A person may not have any symptoms or experience symptoms such as a urinary infection and obstruction in the urine outflow canal depending on the grade and size of the swollen gland.

Symptoms

Many symptoms that are brought on by prostatomegaly might get worse with time.

Common BPH warning indicators and symptoms include:

frequent urges to urinate or a rise in the frequency of nocturnal urination (nocturia)

having trouble urinating in the first place

The bladder has not entirely emptied when there is weak urine flow, intermittent urination, or dribbling after urinating.

Less frequent indications and symptoms include:

urinary tract infection causing difficulty urinating

blood in the urine

Treatments

As there is no cure for BPH, the goal of treatment is to manage symptoms. The degree of symptoms, the patient’s level of discomfort, and any potential side effects all have an impact on the course of treatment. The therapy should be more aggressive the more distressing the symptoms are. (homeopathic hospital Near Me)

The following are the main BPH treatments:

Active Observation prescription medication

 Minimally invasive surgery

More drastic measures

Engaged Observation

Active surveillance is the BPH therapy that is most frequently used. If you and your doctor decide to proceed with this course of therapy, it will be attentively watched but not actively controlled. As a result, your urologist will frequently assess your BPH. An annual exam is shared. Before making more recommendations, your healthcare provider will first look for severe or more urgent problems. The standard recommendations are diet and exercise to lessen or get rid of your symptoms.

Medicines on prescription

Prescription medications could be an option for BPH-afflicted males. Among the several drug categories are:

Blockers and Alpha-blockers are medications that reduce BPH symptoms by reducing tension in the prostate and bladder muscles.

They do not shrink the prostate, but if there is a blockage, they might enhance urine flow. Alpha-blockers have the advantage of working swiftly. Dizziness, lightheadedness, weariness, and problems ejaculating are a few potential adverse effects.

5- Drugs that Inhibit Alpha Reductase

By blocking DHT, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can improve urine flow and slow prostate development. Male hormone DHT can accumulate in the prostate and lead to prostatic growth.

Parallel Therapy

In a combination therapy, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and alpha-blockers are both administered concurrently. These could work better together than either medicine alone to stop BPH from getting worse. Comparatively speaking, taking two medicines raises the likelihood of experiencing substantial adverse effects. ( homeo doctor near me )

Phytotherapies

Physiotherapies are herbal medicines, however medical professionals do not advise utilising them. Saw palmetto is one of the most typical botanicals. Critical research have established their inefficiency. Supplements come in a range of purity and quality.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgical techniques (MIST) may typically be performed as an outpatient procedure without the need for a hospital stay. Recovery frequently happens more quickly. It can relieve symptoms, including issues with urine control. Certain MISTS don’t lessen the possibility that you’ll require further treatment or surgery.

Exist any problems?

Any procedure for prostatomegaly may have unanticipated side effects or problems, including bleeding, urethral stricture, urine leakage or incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

Kidney stones are a widespread and painful health issue that affects millions around the world. In India, an estimated 12% of the population is affected by kidney stones (urolithiasis), with a higher prevalence (15%) in northern states.

Dehydration: Inadequate fluid intake leads to more concentrated urine, increasing the likelihood of stone formation.

Dietary Factors: A diet high in sodium, protein, and oxalate-rich foods can contribute to stone development.

Obesity: Being overweight increases the risk of kidney stones due to changes in the body’s metabolic processes.

Genetics: A family history of kidney stones can raise the risk of developing them yourself.

Certain Medical Conditions: Conditions such as gout, Crohn’s disease, and hyperparathyroidism can predispose individuals to kidney stones.
