Why do kidney stones find you? Doctor: Mostly related to these bad habits, don't take it seriously!

It is obvious that everyone eats soft meals every day, blood and tissues are flowing in the body, but some people have "stones" growing inside their bodies, such as urinary system stones, gallbladder stones, tophi, etc. are common diseases.

　　Among them, the most difficult to understand is kidney stones. The kidneys are obviously metabolic organs, so why do they still grow stones?

　　First of all, the so-called kidney stones refer not to the stones that are actually seen in daily life, but to the substances formed by the accumulation of some crystalline substances and organic matrices in the kidneys. Kidney stones are the most common diseases of the urinary system. Although stones can occur anywhere in the urinary system, most of these stones come from the kidneys.

　　So the question is, what are the bad habits that make kidney stones find you?

1. Unhealthy eating habits

　　Relevant studies have shown that long-term intake of high-protein foods, foods containing refined sugar, and foods containing high purines , but too little dietary fiber food intake will increase the risk of kidney stones.

　　Because after the kidneys form the original urine, the original urine contains a lot of metabolites, including uric acid, oxalic acid, calcium and so on. If you ingest excessive food, it will lead to the accumulation of crystal substances in the kidneys , which in turn increases the risk of kidney stones;

　　2. Long-term inactivity

　　Relevant data surveys show that long-term exercise is too little, sedentary, or long-term bed rest , etc., will increase the possibility of kidney stones. Because the amount of exercise is too small, it means that the blood circulation speed is slowed down, the body metabolism is affected , and various crystal substances are easy to accumulate in the kidneys.

　　And the amount of exercise is reduced, calcium is often lost from the bones, precipitated into the blood , the calcium content in the urine exceeds the standard, and the prevalence of kidney stones will naturally increase;

　　3. Do not like to drink water for a long time

　　The most basic function of the kidneys is to produce urine, which is constantly working 24 hours a day. The production of urine by the kidneys is mainly divided into two parts. The first is the interception of the glomerulus , which is responsible for filtering water, some beneficial substances and metabolites in the blood .

　　The second is renal tubular reabsorption , which is responsible for concentrating the original urine . If you drink too little water for a long time, the concentration of urine will increase , and substances such as oxalic acid, uric acid, and calcium will be deposited in the kidneys, which will eventually develop into kidney stones.

　　Because of this, science recommends that you should not less than 1500-2000ml of water every day;

4. Long-term urination

　　In order to save time, many people do not release in time when the urge to urinate comes. From a clinical point of view, this is actually a bad habit, because urine seems to enter the bladder for storage, but the capacity of the bladder is actually very limited.

　　The kidneys work non-stop for 24 hours , and the longer the original urine accumulates in the kidneys, the easier the deposition of crystal substances , which in turn increases the possibility of kidney stones.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that although the pathogenesis of kidney stones is also related to heredity, disease and medication. However, most of the clinical onset of the disease in our country is actually affected by poor living and eating habits.

　　Therefore, if you don’t want kidney stones, renal colic and other problems to find yourself in the future, it is necessary to adjust your life and diet from now on.
