Small crystals in the kidney may be caused by physiological factors such as low water intake, or may be caused by pathologic factors such as increased uric acid and renal lesions, which can be treated with general therapy, medication, surgery, and so on.
1. Physiological factors: if it is due to low water intake, decreased urine production, increased concentration of urine caused by the composition of urine easy to precipitate in the kidneys, resulting in small crystals in the kidneys, this situation is generally increase the amount of water intake, increased urinary excretion can be improved.
2. Pathological factors
(1) increased uric acid: due to high uric acid or uric acid metabolism disorders in the body, uric acid can not be discharged from the kidneys, deposited in the kidneys, may produce small crystals, can take febuxostat, allopurinol and other drugs to reduce the synthesis of uric acid treatment.
(2) Ureteral stenosis: If the urinary discharge is blocked due to ureteral stenosis, resulting in accumulation of urine in the kidneys, and the salts in the urine condense out of the urine and precipitate as crystals resulting in small crystals in the kidneys, surgical treatments such as resection of the narrowed segment of the ureter can be taken according to the condition.
Small crystals in the kidneys in the increase in water intake is ineffective, should promptly consult a doctor, follow the doctor’s advice and treatment.
