Study Notes
Contributing Factors to Kidney Stone Formation
- High protein, salt, or glucose intake can increase the risk of kidney stone formation.
- Low calcium levels in the diet can lead to the body drawing calcium from bones, increasing the risk of stones.
- Long-term use of vitamin D and calcium supplements can also contribute to stone formation.
Diagnosis of Kidney Stones
- Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) is a dye-based imaging technique.
- It helps visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
- Can detect the presence of stones.
- May not be able to determine the size or composition of the stones.
- Ultrasound of the Kidney: is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to produce images of the kidneys.
- Can detect the presence of stones and assess their size and location.
Treatment of Kidney Stones
- Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy: minimally invasive procedure involving inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera into the urethra and bladder.
- A laser is used to break up the stones.
Prevention and Management of Kidney Stones
- Encourage patients to maintain a high fluid intake.
- Aim for 3,000 to 4,000 mL of urine excretion every 24 hours.
- Advise patients to follow a regimen to prevent further stone formation.
