Urinary stones can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary. There are various causes of urinary stones, such as metabolic abnormalities, hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, etc., which are explained below:
1. Abnormal metabolism causes the pH of urine to exceed the normal range, which tends to make various ions and compounds to be deposited. Formation of various types of stone crystals.
2. Hyperthyroidism, nodules, acute tubular necrosis recovery and other diseases can cause hypercalcemia, which can easily lead to the formation of calcium-containing stones.
3. Some metabolic diseases can cause hypercalciuria, leading to the formation of calcium-containing stones in the urinary tract.
4. The high oxalic acid environment formed by hyperoxaluria can cause calcium ions to be deposited, resulting in the formation of stones.
5. Urinary tract obstruction, infection, and the presence of foreign bodies in the urinary tract are local factors that induce stone formation.
6. Long-term use of some drugs with high concentration but low solubility in urine, such as amphotericin, or long-term use of drugs that tend to induce stones, such as vitamin C.
7. Lifestyle habits of too little exercise, too little water, diet too much animal protein, refined sugar, etc. can induce stones.
The appearance of urinary stones should be timely consultation, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment.
