Stone disease symptoms

Stone disease: symptoms
"Silent" stones are often found directly in the renal tissue
Altogether, the symptoms depend on the location, size and mobility of the urinary stones. Stones within the kidney tissue often cause no symptoms and are often only discovered by chance during an ultrasound examination. Contrast, cause kidney calyx or renal pelvis stones slight pressure pain in the flank. By the mucosal injury to blood admixture in the urine, called the (macro) hematuria, occur. Stones can block urine flow from the so developed retention of urine.


Colicky pains are paroxysmal, extremely severe pain
Stepping stones in the ureter over cause she is colic. Colic or flank pain, kidney stones are at the forefront. Colic is one of the worst pain ever. They occur on undulating and cramping. The pain is triggered by the expansion and increase in wall tension that is caused by a stone that blocks the urinary tract.


Even small stones cause severe colic
Shape and size of stones can vary greatly. They range from pinhead-sized stones, which are currently still under ultrasound or x-ray detectable, to coral stones, which rarely lead to runoff disabilities, but more frequent hematuria and renal pelvic infections (pyelonephritis).


The pains are shifting, depending on the stone seat.
The typical kidney or Steinkolik usually starts suddenly in the form of spasmodic and incidental silent pain that radiates along the ureter toward the bladder, the genitals or the upper thigh region. Depending on the stone seat of the pain can shift from the kidney region in the lower abdomen to the groin. Typically this is the wave-like character of the pain: the pain-free periods alternate with periods of strong lateral pain. The victims are afraid and are anxious to go back and forth. Your skin is pale and sweaty. In affected men, it can, through the train of strained abdominal muscles, even come to undescended testicles.


Nausea, vomiting, and constipation can occur concomitantly
Through the pain, there is a release of prostaglandins, which leads to increased blood flow to the kidneys. This also increases the urine production. More urine increased the pressure on the urethra and thus the pain stimulus. By neural reflexes, it can also lead to impairment of gastrointestinal motor activity, which manifests as nausea, vomiting and constipation.


Colic should, even if they are short, straight run to the doctor
The duration of colic can range from a few minutes to several hours. A rapid intervention by the doctor is a good idea in any case and necessary. The reason: Depending on the extent and duration of Urine Extension Clasp can lead to pathological changes in the kidneys. There is a partial occlusion without urinary tract infection, the results also with prolonged existence does not automatically stay-at a loss. Even with a complete occlusion of the kidney produces urine continues once. The body tissues will continue to relieve them of metabolic waste products, so it is not immediately to a "poisoning" of the body with pollutants coming. But after a short time decreases the renal blood flow and cause a decline in kidney tissue (renal cortical) can occur. This can lead to permanent damage cause of the kidney. In addition, by the lack of wash-out the increased incidence of urinary tract infections is promoted. In this case, it may come through a combination of infection and to a urine stowage flooding of pathogens into the bloodstream and thus to the perilous state of urosepsis.
