Causes of kidney stones

How the occurrence of stones in the kidney / urinary tract, as yet known completely. But experts argue, metabolic disorders soon is the main factor, in addition to general risk factors. Common risk factors include: age, sex, heredity, diet, and environment.
There is a close relationship between the formation of stones to the level of socio-economic status of, ujra dr. Tangjong, who talk about kidney stones in relation to food. Animal protein referred to as the greatest effect on this disease. Increased consumption of animal protein, causes increased excretion (removal) of uric acid in the urine, followed by a decrease in urine acidity tingkata and disposal of citrate.
These changes cause increased risk of stone formation. This risk can also be enhanced with the increasing consumption of sugar, fat and salt, because it can increase calcium fantasized murder. The lack of consumption of high fiber foods, polysaccharides nonselulosa, magnesium, phosphate, and vitamin B-1 also increases the risk of calcium oxalate stone formation.

The pain was initially mild, but after half an hour later until the increase, can be severe pain (colic) until the patient is howling in pain. sometimes there are symptoms there seems to be an irritation of the bladder, such as repeatedly to urinate and pain during urination (sban-saban/diuretis).

Tempuyung
Tempuyung plant (Sonchus arvensis L) has long been renowned as a destroyer of kidney stones. These plants come from the mainland Aurasia (borders of Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia) and grown in Indonesia, possibly since penyebarkan Hinduism. As a chronic herb that stands, the trunked tempuyung round it can only grow as high as 0.5 to 1.5 meters. This stems beronga and if injured will issue a milky white sap. He usually grows at an altitude of 50-1650 m above sea level, in a slightly shaded like the side walls of the house. Smooth green leaves with purple little choppy and jagged edges have not teraratur. At first glance seem sepertii leaf elephant footprint, which is still a family, but leaves the elephant tread was too jagged. Near the base of the stem, serrated leaves form a rosette that terpusar, but which is located in the upper stem mebeluk criss cross. Wavy leaves hug the stem is a nutritious litotriptik, destroying the buildup of calcium carbonate as a "stone" in the bladder and kidneys.
Efficacy is due to leaves contain potassium, which always competes with calcium to combine with carbonate, oxalate or uric. Calcium and calcium carbonate deposition that "petrified" in the kidney was broken down by potassium tempuyung, so the sediment was dissolved and helped out with urine. Potassium was also is a diuretic (urine decays).
If the kidneys are filtering wastes duty was blocked by the deposition of calcium carbonate, then the work will be disrupted. protein molecule that should not go away, now come out. So is red drah grains. if you've urine so we will be cloudy and may also bleed. with the entry of potassium from tempuyung, kidney stones can be dissolved clog dem little bit. potassium when incorporated continuously on a regular basis, akhinya free kidney stones and normal duties again.

Tempuyung can be purchased in tea bag form a proxy by the manufacturers of traditional medicines Bhineka Manunggal work, while the leaves of which are also sold by the seller kerin herbal ingredients.
