The etiology of this disorder is multifactorial and The etiology of this disorder is multifactorial and is strongly related to dietary lifestyle habits or is strongly related to dietary lifestyle habits or practices. practices.
Urinary calculi or stones are the most common Urinary calculi or stones are the most common cause of acute ureteral obstruction. cause of acute ureteral obstruction.
The term nephrolithiasis (kidney calculi or The term nephrolithiasis (kidney calculi or stones) refers to the entire clinical picture of the stones) refers to the entire clinical picture of the formation and passage of crystal agglomerates formation and passage of crystal agglomerates called calculi or stones in the urinary tract called calculi or stones in the urinary tract

Any factor that reduces urinary flow or causes Any factor that reduces urinary flow or causes obstruction, which results in urinary stasis or obstruction, which results in urinary stasis or reduces urine volume through dehydration and reduces urine volume through dehydration and inadequate fluid intake, increases the risk of inadequate fluid intake, increases the risk of developing kidney stones.developing kidney stones.
Low urinary flow is the most common Low urinary flow is the most common abnormality, and most important factor to correct abnormality, and most important factor to correct with kidney stones. It is important for health with kidney stones. It is important for health practitioners to concentrate on interventions for practitioners to concentrate on interventions for correcting low urinary volume in an effort to correcting low urinary volume in an effort to prevent recurrent stone disease prevent recurrent stone disease

Clinical PresentationClinical Presentation
Symptoms may vary and depend on the location and Symptoms may vary and depend on the location and size of the kidney stones or calculi within the urinary size of the kidney stones or calculi within the urinary collecting system. In general, symptoms may include collecting system. In general, symptoms may include acute renal or ureteral colic, hematuria (microscopic or acute renal or ureteral colic, hematuria (microscopic or gross blood in the urine), urinary tract infection, or vague gross blood in the urine), urinary tract infection, or vague abdominal or flank pain. A thorough history and physical abdominal or flank pain. A thorough history and physical examination, along with selected laboratory and examination, along with selected laboratory and radiologic studies, are essential to making the correct radiologic studies, are essential to making the correct diagnosis. Small nonobstructing stones or "silent stones" diagnosis. Small nonobstructing stones or "silent stones" located in the calyces of the kidney are sometimes found located in the calyces of the kidney are sometimes found incidentally on x-rays or may be present with incidentally on x-rays or may be present with asymptomatic hematuria. Such stones often pass asymptomatic hematuria. Such stones often pass without causing pain or discomfortwithout causing pain or discomfort
