Transcript of Health supplements and nutritional remedies for kidney stones
Kidney stones form when the urine becomes too concentrated, the minerals crystallize and form hard deposits called uroliths.
Treatment of Kidney Stones
Treatments may vary, depending on the size and number of your kidney stones.
Small kidney stones may pass out in the urine just by increasing your fluid intake to flush them out.
Medical treatment may include the use of medicines to relax the ureters, thus allowing small stones to descend and pass out in the urine.
Larger stones may be removed by using different procedures such as ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or open surgery.
Medications may prevent stones from forming again, and these include allopurinol, potassium citrate, hydrochlorothiazide, orthophosphates, and acetohydroxamic acid.
Avoid trans fats, which are found in processed foods, commercially baked goods, French fries, onion rings, and donuts.
