How does kidney stone form
There are many factors affecting the formation of stones. Age, sex, race, genetics, environmental factors, diet habits and occupation are related to the formation of stones. Abnormal metabolism, urinary tract obstruction, infection, foreign body and drug use are common causes of stone formation. It is known that there are 32 components in urinary calculus, and the most common component is calcium oxalate. Stones of other components, such as magnesium ammonium phosphate, uric acid, calcium phosphate and cystine (an amino acid), can also be mixtures of the above components. Men are more likely to suffer from this disease than women. People over 30 are more likely to suffer from this disease than young people. This disease is rare in children.
Specifically, the main causes of stones are as follows:
1. The water quality of drinking water is poor. In some areas, the drinking water is hard water, with high crystal and calcium content, which makes people's urine calcium increase and is easy to form stones. In addition, if the amount of drinking water is too small and the urine is concentrated, it is also easy to cause stones.
2. Bad eating habits, eating foods with high oxalic acid and calcium, such as animal viscera, spinach, bean curd and other bean products, strong tea, wine, coffee, etc. And the food is too fine, eat more meat, eat vegetables and other cellulosic food is too small, and also prone to urinary stones.
3. In different living environments and climates, in hot areas, people sweat a lot and urine is easy to concentrate, forming urinary stones.
4. Poor lifestyle, daily life, too little exercise, too little activity, also prone to urinary stones. In addition, the body suffers from certain diseases, resulting in hypercalcemia or hypercalcemia. Diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, gout, fracture, paralysis, and hemolytic bone tumor can increase urinary calcium and easily form kidney stones. Urinary obstruction of various reasons makes urine stasis and urinary tract infection prone to stones.
People with high incidence of kidney stones
1. People who drink little water and habitually hold urine.
2. People who have bad eating habits such as overeating, skipping breakfast, and eating supper.
3. Drinking water with high mineral content for a long time.
4. Age and sex: male is more than female, about 4-5:1. The peak age of male onset is 25-40 years old. Women are 25-40 years old and 50-65 years old.
