Kidney stones are usually due to metabolic abnormalities, urinary tract system abnormalities and other conditions such as drugs.
1. Abnormal metabolism: usually urinary stones are mostly composed of human metabolites, and the common stone-forming components in urine are uric acid, cystine, oxalic acid, calcium, etc. Any physiological disorders may promote the formation and growth of stones.
2. Abnormalities in the urinary tract system: Usually the presence of urinary tract infections, urinary tract obstruction or the presence of foreign bodies in the urinary tract can induce stone formation, and urinary tract stones can aggravate the infection and obstruction.
3. Drugs: Usually taking aminopterin, silicates and sulfonamides will lead to high urine concentration but low solubility, which can induce kidney stones. Acetazolamide, vitamin D and other drugs, in the process of metabolism, can also promote stone formation.
4. Others: Kidney stones can also be induced by other factors such as climate and diet.
It is recommended that patients with kidney stones identify the cause of the disease in time, and follow the doctor’s instructions according to the cause of reasonable treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
