Common Symptoms Of Kidney Stones

CKD will cause the body to retain many excess fluids and waste that are normally filtered out to prevent internal harm throughout the body. With kidney disease there will be a rise in blood pressure due to the amount of extra fluid that is retained in the blood vessels. This fluid retention will cause the passageways to become narrow and make blood passage through the vessels increasingly difficult, in turn causing an increase in blood pressure. There will also be an increase in protein and blood found in the urine because it is not filtered out properly by the kidneys. Swelling will occur in the extremities and around the eyes because of the fluid retention as well. The longer the urine goes unfiltered the harder it may become to urinate due to pain or blockage or there may be more frequent night time urination (The National Kidney Foundation, 12).

The cause is unknown. However, there is an increased incidence in males. There are four types of stones; calcium (oxalate of phosphate), struvite, uric acid and cystine. The most common type (70-80%) is calcium stone. These stones are usually caused by an increased concentration of calcium in the blood. The causes and treatment for stones vary depending on what type of stone it is. Factors such as; high serum and urine level of stone components, urinary tract infection and the ph of the urine and dehydration all contribute to the formation of a stone. The main cause struvite stone is UTI, due to a certain enzyme that some bacteria secrete. Formation of the stone requires that the urine be supersaturated. If there is a higher concentration two ion in the urine they are more likely to precipitate. The formation of a stone usually begins with small clusters of crystals. Most crystals will pass because the force holding them together is not strong enough. Larger ion clusters however, form nuclei and become strong enough to stay together and overcome the tendency of ions to move apart. Once stable, the stone will continue to grow. The stone can become logged anywhere in the urinary tract if it is greater than 5mm, if the stone is less than or equal to 5mm the stone will usually pass on its own. Mr. J.S. has a few contributing factors to the formation of his stone. According to the book, Pathophysiology, “Obstructive

A kidney stone may not bring about manifestations until it moves around inside your kidney or goes into your ureter. But,some side effects are Severe torment in the side and back, beneath the ribs, torment that spreads to the lower stomach area and crotch, torment that comes in waves and changes in power, torment on pee, pink, red or cocoa pee, overcast or putrid pee, queasiness and regurgitating, and steady need to urinate.

In George Orwell’s book, Animal Farm, Napoleon maintains power over the animals by inducing fear and manipulation.

The patient was presented with throbbing back and stomach pain, which came in wave and ended into the groin. The patient had slightly distended abdomen, decreased bowel sounds were noted in addition to protein and blood traces on the urine. These symptoms represent nephrolithiasis and include nausea and flak pain. It is characterized by distal ureteral stones and its diagnosis is done with regard to clinical symptoms only, however, confirmatory tests may be performed.

Upper urinary tract calculi should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain. The classic presentation of calculi is excruciating unilateral flank or lower abdominal pain of sudden onset that is not related to any precipitating event (Fig 7). The pain often begins as vague flank pain. Patients frequently dismiss this pain until it evolves into waves of severe pain. It is generally believed that a stone must at least partially obstruct the ureter to cause pain. The pain is commonly referred to the lower abdomen and to the ipsilateral groin. As the stone progresses down the ureter, the pain tends to migrate caudally and medially. Calyceal stones are asymptomatic

Glomerulonephritis is a group of kidney diseases in which the glomeruli of the kidney becomes inflamed. The glomeruli of the kidney filters protein and blood out of the incoming blood vessels and redistributes them back into circulation. In the case of Glomerulonephritis, the inflamed glomeruli are unable to redistribute the blood and protein back into circulation and thus is released in the urine. Glomerulonephritis is a broad term used for a few specific types of glomerular damage. The specific name is given once tissue samples are examined under a microscope and key features have been identified (www.hopkinsmedicine.org/nephrology/glomerulonephritis.html). While it cannot be used as definitive diagnosis, a few key symptoms can help to determine the tests needed for diagnosis. Commonly abdominal pain, diarrhea, excessive urination (polyuria), fever and edema of the ankles, feet, abdomen, and face (including eyes) are experienced. Once these symptoms have been evaluated by a doctor, a complete urinalysis would be requested in helping to diagnose the disease. With Glomerulonephritis protein (proteinuria) and blood (hematuria) would be found in the urine sample. (www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000484.htm). If the urinalysis is returned positive with these findings a kidney biopsy will be performed. Positive confirmation of which type of Glomerulonephritis can then be made if the results of the biopsy show abnormal tissue and the result of the

Urinary obstruction can put pressure on the kidneys, leading to kidney infection or kidney damage.

“Still Life with flowers” by Vincent Van Gogh was made in 1888. In this artwork, the first thing that I recognized was the flower vase. The flower vase contains many pink flowers and along with its long and sharp leaves. The vase is colored black and white with its top half having green and red decoration on it. Next to the vase are two books laying on top of one another. The book on top is yellow while the one below is tan. These objects are on top of a brown table. The background is plane with only one color being green. After looking at the work carefully, it reminds me of my own childhood.

Furthermore, kidney stone may not cause any symptoms until it moves within the kidney and or passes into your ureter, which also can be dreadfully painful when passing through. However, it does not cause any permanent damages. Some of the symptoms that you might experience are, severe pain in the side and back, pain below the ribs, pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin. The discomfort can come in multiple waves, fluctuate or be very intense. The pain may last for a brief or extended time. Some individuals experience nausea and vomiting with the pain.

     Kidney stones are hard, crystalline deposits in the kidney. They are usually hexagonal, eighty percent of which are made of calcium. These calcium stones are two to three times more common in men, and are most likely to reoccur. The calcium oxalate versions most likely result from eating specific food. One percent of stones are cystine stones, which have to do with

Painful urination. Straining during urination increases the workload of the bladder muscles, which can cause muscles spasms. These spasms, combined with the pressure caused by the enlarged prostate on the urethra, can cause great pain during voiding or

How many of us really think about our ability to urinate, I know I never did, but for my Uncle and Cousin, they could only wish to do what comes so naturally to us. When you have kidney disease and suffer Renal failure, which is what both of my relative's had, the kidneys are unable to remove those wastes through urinating. When the kidneys no longer perform these functions adequately, wastes and excess fluid build up in the blood. Some of the warning signs of kidney disease are as follows:

For the most part, I have to agree with the critical theorists: learning barriers do exist. In wealthier nations, men are still more likely to earn higher salaries for the same positions as held by women. Wealthier families have the means to pay for quality educational experiences and have endless opportunities to continue educational learning opportunities. Demographic factors, such as age and sex can determine who qualifies for educational opportunities. While the government funds the education of our younger children, there is a limited amount of funding available for adults to advance their education. In their pursuit of the American dream, many less fortunate families do not have funds available to participate in educational
