Kidney Stone [ Renal Stone/Urolithiasis ]
Introduction:
Renal or kidney stones are one of the most well-known and upsetting diseases among urinary problems, which are hard, pebble-like pieces of material that form in one or both of kidneys. Vedhive.in provides ayurvedic doctor for kidney treatment in kolkata.
Kidney stones may vary in shape and size. It may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pea. Some kidney stones are as big as golf balls. Kidney stones may be smooth or jagged and are usually brown or yellow in colour. A small kidney stone may pass through the urinary tract on its own, causing little or no pain. A larger kidney stone may get stuck along the way. A kidney stone that gets stuck can block urine flow, causing severe pain or bleeding.

Ayurvedic Perspective:
In the Sanskrit language, Ayurveda describes renal stones as Ashmari.Ashmari (calculi) comprises of two words, i.e. ‘Ashma’ and ‘Ari.’ ‘Ashma’ means a stone and ‘Ari’ means enemy. Ashmari (calculi), specifically called as Moothrashmari (urolithiasis), is a disease of Moothravahasrotas (urinary tract) and involves formation of a stone or stones, resulting in severe pain as given by an enemy.
Acharya Sushruta explains the two processes of stone formation. One is by the stagnation and supersaturation of the urine by crystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.
According to Ayurveda, Ashmari is of four types i.e. Vatika ,Paitika , Shlaishmika and Shukraja.The Vatika, Paitika and Shlaishmika Ashmari may be similar to calcium oxalate, uric acid and calcium phosphate stones respectively.
Types of kidney stones:
In modern medicine classification of urinary calculi (stones) is based on its chemical constitution and their morphology, so different types of urinary calculi are described i.e. Calcium stone, Struvite stones, Uric acid stone, Cystine stone and mixed stone.There are four major types of stone are deposit in kidneys which are- calcium (75 to 85%), struvite (2 to 15%), uric acid (6 to10%) and stones of cystine (1 to 2%) recorded while kidney treatment in kolkata. The distribution and frequency of these stones is depending upon the geographical location of living being and population studied. Rarely, the long term used of drugs causes the kidneys stones which are about 1%.
Calcium stones ( 80 % of Stones ):
The stones of calcium oxalate, calcium urate and calcium phosphate are associated with hypercalciuria which caused by hyperparathyroidism. People associated with disease, increased calcium absorption from the gut causes renal calcium or phosphate leak, hyperuricosuria, hyperoxaluria, hypocitraturia and hypomagnesuria developed.
Struvite stones / Infection Stones ( 10 % of Stones ):
Struvite is composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate stones which grow to fill the collecting system (partial or complete staghorn calculi). This stage is developed due to chronic urinary tract infections which caused by Gram-negative urea-splitting rods including Proteus, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella species.
Uric acid stones ( 5 – 10 % of Stones ):
The formation of uric acid stones depend upon high purine intake drugs or high cell turnover (e.g. malignancy) which are mostly found in patients with gout. Uric acid stones mostly form in slightly acidic urine (pH 5.5). They are visible in nature and usually radiolucent on X-ray film.
Cystine stones ( Less than 1 % Stones ):
Cystine stones become due to having hereditary intrinsic metabolic disorder called cystinuria in which the re-absorption of cystine in the renal tubule is impaired. These stones could difficult to find on X-rays because of high sulphur content. In drug-induced stones, several drugs can participate in the formation of renal stones. Vedhive's provides ayurvedic doctor for kidney treatment in kolkata.
Drug-induced stones:
Some drugs are also participating in the formation of renal stones which can be used for another disease. They are indinavir, atazanavir, guaifenesin, triamterene, silicate (antacids) and sulfa drugs. These stones are rare and are always seen on X-Rays (radiolucent) while kidney treatment in kolkata.
Complications:
- Septicemia
- Bladder blockage
- Loss of kidney function.
- Kidney Failure
- Severe pain
- Injury to ureter while undergoing surgery for kidney stone removal
- Heavy bleeding during Kidney stone surgery
- Recurring kidney stone ( 80% chance )
- Urinary tract infection ( UTI )
