Kidney Stones, Causes and Prevention

Back pain occurs when the rock entered obstruction in the kidney. Meanwhile, severe pain in the abdomen occurs when a stone has been moved into the ureter. Nausea and vomiting are always followed severe pain. Kidney stone patients sometimes also experience fever, chills, blood in the urine of stone if injure the ureter, abdominal distension, pus in the urine.
IN terms of medicine, kidney stones or renal calculi Nephrolithiasis called. Kidney stone is a state consists of one or more stones in the pelvis or calyces of the kidney or ureter in the channel. The formation of kidney stones can occur in any part of the urinary tract, but usually formed in two parts most of the kidney, namely in the tubs kidney (renal pelvis) and the renal calix. Stone can be formed from calcium, phosphate, or a combination of uric acid is usually dissolved in the urine.
Kidney stones vary in size, can be either single or double. The stones stay in kidney tubs or to enter into the ureters and can destroy kidney tissue. Large stone will damage the tissue by pressure or cause an obstruction, resulting in back flow of fluid. Most kidney stones can occur repeatedly.
Is the cause? Kidney stones were found on one of 1,000 people, usually more prevalent in men (aged 30-50 years) than women. Also encountered in certain areas. Although it is certainly not known to cause kidney stones, the likelihood is that if the urine becomes too concentrated and substances in urine form crystals in the stone. Other causes are infection, obstruction, excess secretion of parathyroid hormone, in renal tubular acidosis, elevated levels of uric acid (usually in conjunction with inflammation of the joints), damage to the metabolism of several types of materials in the body, too much use of vitamin D or consuming too much calcium .
Symptom Although a large and varied stone location, the pain caused by obsruksi is the main symptom. Large stone with a rough surface that comes into the ureter will increase the frequency and force of contraction ureter automatically. The pain starts from the waist down toward the hips, then to the external genitals. Fluctuating pain intensity and pain is the culmination of tremendous pain. If kidney stones are in tubs and in the calix, the pain settled and less intensity. Back pain occurs when the rock entered obstruction in the kidney. Meanwhile, severe pain in the abdomen occurs when a stone has been moved into the ureter. Nausea and vomiting are always followed severe pain. Kidney stone patients sometimes also experience fever, chills, blood in the urine of stone if injure the ureter, abdominal distension, pus in the urine.
How is the diagnosis? The doctor will ask for symptoms, then perform the following tests:
1.Foto X-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to show the existence of kidney stones. 2.Ultrasound kidney, is a non-invasive tests that use high frequency waves will detect obstruction and its changes. 3.Pemberian intravenous dyes and scan to confirm diagnosis and determine the size and location of kidney stones. 4.Analisis stone to determine its mineral content. 5.Analisis urine culture to show the type of bacteria causing the infection, and others.
Preventing and treating How is the treatment? Because 90% of kidney stones less than 5 mm in diameter, is usually sufficient given the water decoction of the plant Desmodium stryracifulium and given to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day, was given antibiotics to prevent infection, as well as reduction of pain medication. In general, the stone will be out within 50-10 days.
If the stone is too large to be released naturally, surgery can be done. If the stones are in the ureter, cystoscopy can be used through the urethra and the stone manipulated with catheters. Rocks from other areas of expenditure (on calix and pelvis) require surgery from the side or lower abdomen. Percutaneus ultrasonic procedure called Lithotripsy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy will break up kidney stones into small fragments, which can be expelled naturally or by suction.
For the prevention of kidney stones should drink water frequently stryracifolium decoction Desmodium plants, or advisable to eat less calcium, was given medication to prevent uric acid stone formation, and vitamin C which give the acidity of the urine. If the parathyroid glands also include the cause, doctors will recommend actions paratiroidektomi (parathyroid glands removed).
Prognosis: symptoms of kidney stones often cause extreme pain, but usually once removed does not cause permanent damage. It often happens recurrence, particularly when no cause was found and treated.
Complications: 1. Kidney stones recur. 2. Urinary tract infection. 3. Blockage in the ureter. 4. Partial damage of kidney tissue. 5. The decrease or loss of function of the affected kidney.

Stroke sundries

is it a stroke?
Stroke disease is a disorder of brain function caused by blood flow to the brain disorder (reduced). As a result, nutrients and oxygen to the brain dbutuhkan not fulfilled properly. Causes of stroke are two kinds, namely the existence of blockages in blood vessels (thrombus), and the presence of a ruptured blood vessel.
Typically a stroke suffered by the elderly, because of the aging process causes hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) and the presence of fats that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). But some of the last case showed an increase of stroke cases that occurred in adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In this group, a major cause of stroke is a stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
Causes of stroke
In the case of stroke adolescence, genetic factors (heredity) is a major cause of stroke. Frequently encountered cases of stroke caused by blood vessel rupture fragile and easily, or blood system disorders such as hemophilia and thalassemia disease that is inherited by the parents of the patient. Whereas if a family member with diabetes (diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure), and heart disease, stroke likely to be greater in other family members.
Another cause of stroke is a food with higher levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) is very high. There was a lot of evil Koleserol on junk food, or fast food. In addition, other causes of stroke is a lazy habit of exercising and moving, lots of drinking alcohol, smoking, use of narcotic and addictive substances, much less rest time, and prolonged stress. Rupture of blood vessels are also often caused by disease of high blood pressure (hypertension).
Symptoms of stroke
The initial symptoms of stroke usually dizziness, head seemed to spin (like vertigo disease), followed by disruption to speak and move his mouth muscles. Other symptoms are feelings tergangguanya sensor (can not feel anything, such as pinched or poked a needle) and the body feels paralyzed side, and the absence of reflexes. Also often occur suddenly blind or blurred vision (due to blood supply and oxygen to the eyes is reduced drastically), disturbance of taste in the mouth of the system and the muscles of the mouth (so often encountered people with a wry face), paralysis of the muscles of your body, and disruption system memory and emotion. Often some patients can not stop crying because of paralysis of the brain controls emotions on the system. It made such effective stroke sufferers of mental illness, it is not. Things like this that need to be understood by patients' family.
Healing process
There are two main healing process that must be lived patients. First is healing with medicines in hospitals. Strict control must be done to keep the bad cholesterol can be lowered and did not grow up. In addition, patients are also forbidden to eat foods that can trigger a stroke, such as junk foods and salt (can trigger hypertension).
The second is the healing process fisiotherapy, which exercises the muscles to restore muscle function and communication function to be close to its original state. Fisiotherapi fisiotherapi conducted with instructors, and patients must adhere to the exercise performed. If this fisiotherapi not be taking seriously, then permanent paralysis can occur in limb paralysis had ever experienced.
Healing in patients with stroke varies greatly. There can be recovered perfectly (100%), some are just 50% only. Healing depends on whether or not a severe stroke, the body condition of the patient, patient compliance in undergoing the process of healing, perseverance and spirit to heal patients, as well as support and understanding from all patients' family members. Often found that stroke patients can recover, but suffered severe depression because their families do not want to understand and feel deeply disturbed by the disease (such as the attitude of patients not receiving state, the harsh treatment because patients have to clean the impurities, submit a patient to the nurse who was also treated patients with harshly, and so forth). This should be avoided if a family member who suffers a stroke.

What Is Hypertension?

Simply put, someone said to suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure if systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg. Ideal blood pressure is 120 mmHg for systolic and 80 mmHg for diastolic. In many cases, both the pressure increases.
Systolic blood pressure (top number) is the peak pressure is reached when the heart contracts and blood mempompakan out through the arteries. While diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) was taken when the pressure falls to its lowest point when the blood fills the heart to relax and go back.
Increased pressure on closely related hypertension is not exactly the storage of salt and water, or increased pressure from within the body gently on the circulation of the blood vessels (peripheral). Although the causes vary, but its center is the imbalance in the renin-Angio-tensin, which plays an important role in regulating blood pressure.
Hypertension, which usually develops during middle age, more in men and postmenopausal women. Who has a family history of hypertension enhances the risk: as smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, education, and low socioeconomic status.
You need to suspected hypertension if blood pressure is consistently 140/90 mmHg pointing figures or more. For those who are healthy (aged 18 and above), the table below can guide you what to do based on initial blood pressure checks.
These recommendations are highly dependent on your blood pressure readings in the recent past, other cardiovascular risk factors, and other disease. Consult a doctor if necessary.

BODY FOR SKIN HEALTH

Apart from the elements such as stress, hormonal, and free radicals, ultraviolet light, smoke, pollution, or dust samples outside elements that affect the health of skin, including the incidence of premature aging. However, many people have not optimally treat skin, unless you've been injured or damaged. Yet treating the veil of that body is not complicated, although there are tips-tricks in order not to rapid aging.
We need mambaca health articles for many health articles provide information to us. This article informs us about the health of the body esehatan. Health article may contain about the disease and how to maintain good health.
And this health article will explain in detail the skin health:
Healthy skin by health article actually reflects a healthy body condition. Conversely, dull skin can be an indication of less luminous body are not in a state fit.
Could this because of the skin (in skin health articles) carries a lot of other important functions beyond the veil of sense of taste and body of the threats surrounding natural conditions. He helped organize the body temperature, also protect from viruses and bacteria, and no less important function of secretion and drainage.
From skin health articles, on the secretion function, sort out the skin, called sebum oil to maintain skin moisture and smoothness. While spending the liquid form of sweat that is mainly composed of water to regulate body temperature to remain within normal limits.
From the article Skin Health: Ultraviolet prickly destroyer
Health Articles-As the veil of the body skin, the skin is the main shield against the threat of conditions outside the body; ultraviolet rays of the sun one of them. Ultraviolet (UV), this is often accused to be a major factor of premature aging aka premature aging. This light, particularly UV B is a strong penetration power, placed in order of number one in the list of causes.
Health article states: "David Bureau dermatologist from New York state as premature aging occurs, the skin (in accordance with articles on health) are changed so that people aged 30's look 20 years older. Even stimulation of ultraviolet light that can constantly make the skin damage or even skin cancer. "
Skin damage (in the health articles) that is common to those aged above 30 years (according to medical articles) - though can also occur in younger people - can also be caused by other external factors such as environment pollution levels, which can be various smoke with carbon content, the piles of dust and other impurities in the skin.
According to the article in addition to healthy skin from the outside, the internal condition of the body also affect the health of skin, such as hormonal factors, heredity, stress, and free radicals.
From the skin of Health Articles: Replace the skin every 28 days
According to medical articles, the outermost layer of skin is the epidermis (stratum corneum) are thin as onion skin. Below it are the various organs which have already been mentioned earlier. Deeper fat tissue is thick. The next layer of muscle (meat) and bones, which is no longer part of the skin.
health articles tell you that according to natural processes, actually every 28 days once a skin cell (from artikek health) will regenerate or rejuvenate themselves. The original skin cells will round up to the surface of the skin and change the shape of a flattened, before eventually die and become part of the layer of the epidermis.
On the condition (of health articles), skin aging, which occurs otherwise. "Outer layer of skin containing living skin cells, also the layer where the various vessels and glands, thinning. While it thickened layer of the epidermis, because skin cells continue to die or dakinya overlap, "said Edwin Juanda.
In article Edwin healthy skin stretch also the view that the layer of dead skin peeling does not occur automatically, and if peeling will last a long time. That's also why, flaking skin needs to be done specifically because of skin care everyday cleaning alone will not be able to lift the skin mati.merkuri1
However, according to Edwin (skin health articles), does not mean there is no hope for sufferers of premature aging regain healthy skin. There are several ways that can be done. For example, a very small spots (freckles) may be removed by peeling with a very fine instrument. "To more accurately spotting the wide use of topical bleaching creams at night," he said. He reminded, the use of cream bleach must be done carefully and under the supervision of a dermatologist. The use of excessive, especially in the long term, it is
increased skin black.
From health articles compared with blackish spots, wrinkles on the face is more difficult to remove completely. Although several ways to reduce it with real results. One of them by performing chemical peels. In the article recounted health oiled skin
special fluid that makes peeling epidermis. Once cured - by eating a very long time - wrinkle-wrinkle disappears.
Another way (health articles) with a surgical face lift, which is indeed necessary at great cost and must be performed by a specialist.
Another possibility is to use sour cream, vitamin A, which was introduced by prof. Kligman from the U.S.. With vitamin A acid cream like Retin-A or Vitacid, or Melavita on the face every night, in a few months the skin will become firmer and
wrinkles were reduced.
However, vitamin A acid cream have side effects, making the skin a little red and sore in the first few days of use. In addition, this cream was not necessarily suitable for everyone (described in artike-article
health).
"So, all measures of treatment was done so that more teenage skin
(According to medical articles) so that the layer beneath it grow faster. All the way is quite safe as long as it is made very
be careful, "said Edwin while noting the need to consult with a dermatologist.
From the article Skin Health: exfoliation treatment
(From atrikel health) Agreed with dr. Edwin's health expert, chemist Mark Potter who had served concocted medicines for
Operation Desert Storm troops who have to face the dry climate in the Middle East, said the need to be done to dismantle the pile of peels of dead skin that is not useful. "But be careful. Otherwise, even the skin will lose moisture, even
more damaged, "he said.
According to Potter (health articles) Anyway, besides making the skin glow back, "exfoliation has a function that is more than just beautify themselves, for example, the process of skin cell turnover will be faster, also increasing blood flow which is important in providing
food for the skin's surface. "
However, according to David Bureau, the soap is not good for dry skin,
because it can cause irritation. Therefore necessary to find the soap ama
n and contain the active substances are useful. We could easily have obtained this soap containing an active substance such as vitamin E complex that is useful to fight the signs of aging, moisturizing oil or other substances, such as the new Lux soap or Priti. This type of soap could
double work, other than really clean, well maintain skin suppleness and health. (described in medical articles)
According to an article for the health of facial skin texture smoother, softer, and thinner, more precise when used special soap or a face like Kao Biore facial soap, Oil of Ulan, or other products.
But for peeling in the treatment of everyday life, Potter (in
skin health articles) would recommend for use cleanser instead of soap. There are two good ways of doing it. According to First of health articles, use a chemical mask containing enzyme capable of binding the dead skin cells, destroys tissue, as well as lifting. "The second way a little less practical, but quite meaningful in action stripping, which is rubbing the skin gently mechanically."
As with the current product, called AHA (alpha
hidrocxy acid) or a group of fruit acids. AHA scrub considered able to overcome the weakness that only removing the outermost layer, but can not fix a relationship antarsel inside. AHAs, often described as magical antiaging substance and capable of peeling off dead skin with no rub, would
reduce wrinkles and make skin fresher. For substances that also moisturize the skin layer beneath it and stimulate the formation of new cells. (Described in medical articles)
"But the AHA is not suitable for all ages (found in health articles)
. Those aged 30-40 years can still use it. But the age of 40 would be better if using retinoic acid or acid retinoat, "said Edwin Juanda.
Because, she said, when the AHA can only go up
to the layer antarsel, then retinoat acid containing vitamin A which is needed to penetrate skin cells into cells. "Skin that is already ugly and dull will become more humid, thick, red, and fresh again."
No wonder nowadays many skin moisturizer product yes
ng a charge like Plenitude Excel AHA-A3 or Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. When a moisturizer with AHA able to penetrate deeper, then the moisturizer without the AHA will only moisturize the epidermis.
Efforts to maintain the skin's moisture needs to be done carefully. "It's hard to be able to enter the liquid
Years into the skin layer of structure is very complicated. Imagine, in our body fluid can only exit through the channels of sweat, "said Edwin.
That is why, cream the night he saw as an attempt to retain moisture and the best way to restore the skin condition. At bedtime, the system will actually metabolism beris
tirahat to fix the cells. "So that night cream will be signed with m
and work with a maximum already in a long time. It's different if worn during the day, not to mention a slap influence of sunlight that makes your skin spread with AHAs or so iritas retinoat acid.
To leave the skin smooth without cream tonight so d
what? breathe. "Cream of the night could be just a moisturizer that can be used at any time if a person feels his skin is too dry. This, too, can not be beaten flat the same for everybody. For those whose skin is oily, not advisable to wear night cream, will be spotty. "
