The formation of kidney stones, sometimes called renal calculi, is actually common.
Studies show that 1 out of 20 people form these stones in their urinary system.
Kidney stones are formed by crystallization, a process of combining of minute mineral particles in the urinary system.
Most are small, even microscopic.
The large ones clog the tubes in the system and cause significant symptoms.
Here are the signs of a stones infested or blocked urinary system.
The primary signal is a lower abdominal pain at the back.
This tells that the stones are one the move, being pushed by urine.
The pain results from the build up of pressure since the stones clog the ducts right after the kidney.
Note that the part where the stone clogged is the part where the pain is felt.
Patients may also experience a burning sensation while urinating.
In this case, the stone has been pushed- and is now blocking the bladder.
This makes the patient urinate more frequently but in less urine volume.
Since the stones are moving from the kidneys to the bladder, the pattern of pain begins at the sides just beneath the ribs; and it goes down to the groin.
Note that the above pain signals are also associated with other ailments such as appendicitis, intestinal blockage and gallstones.
Clinical diagnosis, including urinalysis, has effective methods to identify the signs of a stones blocked urinary system.
Specific chemical contents in the urine are high if the person has kidney stones problem.
Extreme un-ebbing pain, blood in the urine, cloudy urine and fever are the signs of a kidney stones blocked urinary system that requires immediate attention.
These are symptoms of infection and can be life threatening.
Nevertheless, this kind of sickness is not fatal especially if the symptoms are not neglected.
