ABSTRACT
Urolithiasis is the process of formation of stones anywhere in the
urinary tract. It is a disorder of the urinary tract which is caused by a
wide range of aetiological factors. Urolithiasis is one of the third
most common afflictions found in humans. Approximately 80% of all
kidney stones are composed predominately of calcium oxalate. These
stones may lead to obstruction with dilation or stretching of the upper
ureter and renal pelvis as well as spasm leading to severe episodic
abdominal pain. Homeopathy, on the other hand, is a very effective
cure for kidney problems and it is very cost effective for the patient
to treat Kidney Stones. It eradicates the problem from its roots and
helps prevent any further diseases and problems in the kidney. There
are various Homoeopathic remedies which are very helpful to break
and remove the kidney stones from the body and remove the
recurrency of the kidney stones from Homoeopathic Medicines and
these helps to establish the permanent cure of the patient.

DEFINITION
Kidney stone disease, also known as
Nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis, is when a solid
piece of material (kidney stone) develops in the
urinary tract. Kidney stones typically form in the
kidney and leave the body in the urine stream.
Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stone disease, is a
common, painful, and costly condition.
While a stone may form due to crystallization of
lithogenic factors in the upper urinary tract, it can
subsequently move into the ureter and cause renal
colic. If a stone grows to more than 5 millimeters
(0.2 in), it can cause blockage of the ureter,
resulting in severe pain in the lower back or
abdomen. In some regions, the risk is higher,
most notably in countries such as Saudi Arabia,
where the lifetime risk of developing a renal stone
in men aged 60–70 is just over 20%.
INTRODUCTION
There are various types of kidney stones. It is
clinically important to identify the stone type,
which informs prognosis and selection of the
optimal preventive regimen.
Calcium oxalate stones are most common
(~75%); next, in order, are calcium phosphate
(~15%), uric acid (~8%), struvite
i.e.,(Magnesium ammonium phosphate) (~1%),
and cystine (<1%) stones. Many stones are a
mixture of crystal types (e.g., calcium oxalate and
calcium phosphate) and also contain protein in the
stone matrix. Rarely, stones are composed of
medications, such as acyclovir, indinavir, and
triamterene.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Nephrolithiasis is a global disease. Data suggest
an increasing prevalence, likely due to
Westernization of lifestyle habits (e.g., dietary
changes, increasing body mass index).
National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey data 2007–2010 indicate that up to 19% of

men and 9% of women will develop at least one
stone during their lifetime. The prevalence is
~50% lower among black individuals than among
whites. The incidence of nephrolithiasis also
varies by age, sex, and race.
PATHOGENESIS-
In the consideration of the processes involved in
crystal formation, it is helpful to view urine as a
complex solution. A clinically useful concept is
super saturation (the point at which the
concentration product exceeds the solubility
product).
However, even though the urine in most
individuals is supersaturated with respect to one
or more types of crystals, the presence of
inhibitors of crystallization prevents the majority
of the population from continuously forming
stones.
The most clinically important inhibitor of
calcium-containing stones is urine citrate. While
super saturation is a calculated value (rather than
being directly measured) and does not perfectly
predict stone formation, it is a useful guide as it
integrates the multiple factors that are measured
in a 24-h urine collection.
Recent studies have changed the paradigm for the
site of initiation of stone formation. Renal
biopsies of stone formers have revealed calcium
phosphate in the renal interstitium.
It is hypothesized that this calcium phosphate
extends down to the papilla and erodes through
the papillary epithelium, where it provides a site
for deposition of calcium oxalate and calcium
phosphate crystals.
The majority of calcium oxalate stones grow on
calcium phosphate at the tip of the renal papilla
(Randall’s plaque).
Thus, the process of stone formation may begin
years before a clinically detectable stone is
identified. The processes involved in interstitial
deposition are under active investigation.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS- Predisposing factors
for kidney stones are-
Environmental and dietary causes
Low urine volumes: high ambient temperatures,
low fluid intake
Diet: high protein, high sodium, high calcium
High sodium excretion
High oxalate excretion
High urate excretion
Low citrate excretion
RISK FACTORS-
Genetic Risk Factors- The risk of nephrolithiasis
is more than twofold greater in individuals with a
family history of stone disease. While a number
of monogenic disorders cause nephrolithiasis.
The two most common and well-characterized
rare monogenic disorders that lead to stone
formation are primary hyperoxaluria and
cystinuria.
Primary hyperoxaluria is an autosomal recessive
disorder that causes excessive endogenous oxalate
generation by the liver, with consequent calcium
oxalate stone formation and crystal deposition in
organs. Intraparenchymal calcium oxalate
deposition in the kidney can eventually lead to
renal failure.
Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder that
causes abnormal reabsorption of filtered dibasic
amino acids. The excessive urinary excretion of
cystine, which is poorly soluble, leads to cystine
stone formation. Cystine stones are visible on
plain radiographs and often manifest as staghorn
calculi or multiple bilateral stones.
Stones are due to composed of medications, such
as acyclovir, indinavir, and triamterene.
Infections can cause Struvite stones are virtually
always caused by a urinary tract infection (UTI)
as a result of an enzyme secreted by certain types
of bacteria like klebsiella, E.coli, Proteus
mirabilis.
CAUSES-
Dehydration from low fluid intake is a major
factor in stone formation. Individuals living in
warm climates are at higher risk due to increased
fluid loss.
Obesity, immobility, and sedentary lifestyles are
other leading risk factors.
High dietary intake of animal protein, sodium,
sugars including honey, refined sugars, fructose
and excessive consumption of fruit juices may
increase the risk of kidney stone formation due to
increased uric acid excretion and elevated urinary
oxalate levels.
Kidney stones can result from an underlying
metabolic condition, such as distal renal tubular
acidosis, hyperparathyroidism, primary
hyperoxaluria, or medullary sponge kidney. 3–
20% of people who form kidney stones have
medullary sponge kidney.
Kidney stones are more common in people with
Crohn’s disease; Crohn's disease is associated

with hyperoxaluria and malabsorption of
magnesium.
A person with recurrent kidney stones may be
screened for such disorders. This is typically done
with a 24-hour urine collection. The urine is
analyzed for features that promote stone
formation.
Acquired causes-
Hypercalcaemia of any cause.
Ileal disease or resection (increases oxalate
absorption and urinary excretion)
Renal tubular acidosis type I
Congenital and inherited causes-
Familial hypercalciuria
Medullary sponge kidney
Cystinuria
Renal tubular acidosis type I (distal)
Primary hyperoxaluria
Types of Stones-
CALCIUM OXALATE- Calcium is one
component of the most common type of human
kidney stones, calcium oxalate. Some studies
suggest that people who take calcium or vitamin
D as a dietary supplement have a higher risk of
developing kidney stones.
CALCIUM PHOSPHATE- Higher urine
phosphate levels and higher urine Ph (typically ≥
6.5) are associated with an increased likelihood of
calcium phosphate stone formation. Calcium
phosphate stones are more common in patients
with distal renal tubular acidosis and primary
hyperparathyroidism.
URIC ACID- The two main risk factors for uric
acid stones are persistently low urine pH and
higher uric acid excretion.
Urine pH is the predominant influence on uric
acid solubility; therefore, the mainstay of
prevention of uric acid stone formation entails
increasing urine pH. While acidifying the urine is
not easily done, alkalinizing the urine can be
readily achieved by increasing the intake of foods
rich in alkali (e.g., fruits and vegetables) and
reducing the intake of foods that produce acid
(e.g., animal flesh). Urine uric acid excretion is
determined by uric acid generation. Uric acid is
the end product of purine metabolism; thus
reduced consumption of purine-containing foods
can lower urine uric acid excretion.
STRUVITE STONES- Struvite stones, also
known as infection stones or triplephosphate
stones, form only when the upper urinary tract is
infected with urease-producing bacteria such as
Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or
Providencia species.
Urease produced by these bacteria hydrolyzes
urea and may elevate the urine pH to a
supraphysiologic level (>8.0). Struvite stones may
grow quickly and fill the renal pelvis (staghorn
calculi). Struvite stones require complete removal
by a urologist. New stone formation can be
avoided by the prevention of UTIs. In patients
with recurrent upper UTIs (e.g., some individuals
with surgically altered urinary drainage or spinal
cord injury), the urease inhibitor acetohydroxamic
acid can be considered.
Cystine stones- These stones tend to form onlyin
patients with cystinuria, an autosomal recessive
disorder affecting 1 in 15,000 adults in the USA
that accounts for only 1% of patients with
nephrolithiasis. In cystinuria, nephrolithiasis is
the only clinical manifestation and it arises as a
result of abnormal renal tubule transport which in
turn leads to large amounts of urinary cystine
excretion. The diagnosis can be made by finding
typical hexagonal crystals in the urine.
LOCATION- Urolithiasis refers to stones
originating anywhere in the urinary system,
including the kidneys and bladder.
Nephrolithiasis refers to the presence of such
stones in the kidneys. Calyceal calculi are
aggregations in either the minor or major calyx,
parts of the kidney that pass urine into the ureter
(the tube connecting the kidneys to the urinary
bladder). The condition is called ureterolithiasis
when a calculus is located in the ureter. Stones
may also form or pass into the bladder, a
condition referred to as bladder stones.
SIZE- Stones less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter
pass spontaneously in up to 98% of cases, while
those measuring 5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.4 in) in
diameter pass spontaneously in less than 53% of
cases.
Stones that are large enough to fill out the renal
calyces are called staghorn stones and are
composed of struvite in a vast majority of cases,
which forms only in the presence of urease-
forming bacteria. Other forms that can possibly
grow to become staghorn stones are those
composed of cystine, calcium oxalate
monohydrate, and uric acid.
CLINICAL FEATURES
Many patients with renal stone disease are
asymptomatic, whereas others present with pain,
haematuria, UTI or urinary tract obstruction.

A common presentation is with acute loin pain
radiating to the anterior abdominal wall, together
with haematuria: a symptom complex termed
renal or ureteric colic.
The hallmark of a stone that obstructs the ureter
or renal pelvis is excruciating, intermittent pain
that radiates from the flank to the groin or to the
inner thigh. This pain, known as renal colic, is
often described as one of the strongest pain
sensations known. Renal colic caused by kidney
stones is commonly accompanied by urinary
urgency, restlessness, hematuria, sweating,
nausea, and vomiting.
The pain steadily increases in intensity to reach a
peak in a few minutes.
The patient is restless and generally tries
unsuccessfully to obtain relief by changing
position or pacing the room.
The intense pain usually subsides within 2 hours
but may continue unabated for hours or days. It is
usually constant during attacks.
Patients with large renal stones known as
staghorn calculi (see the image below) are often
relatively asymptomatic. The term "staghorn"
refers to the presence of a branched kidney stone
occupying the renal pelvis and at least one
calyceal system. Such calculi usually manifest as
infection and hematuria rather than as acute pain.
Dysuria (painful urination),
Nocturia (excessive at night),
Urinary hesitancy,
Fever,
Chills and
Abnormal urine color or smell.
SIGNS
Loin tenderness – is usually manifestation of
associated infection.
Palpable kidney in the presence of staghorn
calculus, or when obstruction has remitted.
DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis
of information obtained from the history, physical
examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies.
Clinical diagnosis is usually made on the basis of
the location and severity of the pain, which is
typically colicky in nature (comes and goes in
spasmodic waves). Pain in the back occurs when
calculi produce an obstruction in the kidney.
Physical examination may reveal fever and
tenderness at the costovertebral angle on the
affected side.
About 90% of stones contain calcium and these
can be visualised on plain abdominal X-ray
(radio-opaque stones) but non-contrast CTKUB is
the gold standard for diagnosing a stone within
the kidney or ureter, as 99% are visible using this
method.
Where a CT scan is unavailable, an intravenous
pyelogram may be performed to help confirm the
diagnosis of urolithiasis.
Ultrasound can show stones within the kidney
and dilatation of the renal pelvis and ureter if the
stone is obstructing urine flow.
Microscopic examination of the urine, which may
show red blood cells, bacteria, leukocytes, urinary
casts, and crystals;
Urine culture to identify any infecting organisms
present in the urinary tract and sensitivity to
determine the susceptibility of these organisms to
specific antibiotics.
Complete blood count, looking for neutrophilia
(increased neutrophil granulocyte count)
suggestive of bacterial infection, as seen in the
setting of struvite stones; look for calcium, urea,
uric acid, parathyroid hormone.
Renal function tests to look for abnormally high
blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia).
24 hour urine collection to measure total daily
urinary volume, urea, creatinine, magnesium,
sodium, uric acid, calcium, citrate, oxalate, and
phosphate.
Collection of stones (by urinating through a Stone
Screen kidney stone collection cup or a simple tea
strainer) is useful. Chemical analysis of collected
stones can establish their composition, which in
turn can help to guide future preventive and
therapeutic management.
MANAGEMENT
Stone size influences the rate of spontaneous
stone passage. For example, up to 98% of small
stones (less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter) may
pass spontaneously through urination within four
weeks of the onset of symptoms, but for larger
stones (5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.4 in) in diameter),
the rate of spontaneous passage decreases to less
than 53%.
The indications for intervention to manage or
remove stones from the renal tract are
summarized.

PREVENTIVE THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH
STONE RISK FACTORS-
Fluid intake should be high to avoid periods when
urine is concentrated, even at night.
Dietary calcium. In patients with hypercalciuria, a
calcium intake of 800–1000 mg/day to reduce risk of
bone demineralization. No dietary calcium restriction
for hypercalciuria.
Sodium is an important determinant of excretion of
calcium and in hypercalciuric patients, sodium intake
should be not more than 2 g/day. This is important in
those treated with thiazide diuretics – a high salt
intake here increases risk of hypokalaemia, which can
promote hypocitraturia.
Another reason to restrict sodium is that natriuresis
promotes urinary excretion of oxalate and uric acid.
Dietary protein. In patients with hypercalciuria in
whom excessive intake of animal protein is suspected
(dietary history or excessive 24-hour excretion of
sulphate), less dietary protein can reduce calcium
excretion.
Thiazide diuretics (chlorthalidone, indapamide)
stimulate renal calcium reabsorption and reduce
urinary calcium excretion.
Oxalate. Patients with hyperoxaluria should restrict
intake of the many sources of oxalate.
Hypocitraturia. Potassium citrate is preferred over
sodium because the former promotes citrate excretion
and for the need to restrict sodium for reasons already
mentioned.
Hyperuricosuria. Allopurinol 100 mg/day. Urine
should be maintained alkaline in case of uric acid or
cystine stones using potassium citrate or
acetazolamide.
Cystinuria. Chelating agents, e.g. penicillamine and
tiopronin are effective in reducing stone formation,
but have various side effects. Urinary alkalinization
must be maintained at all times. In patients who can
tolerate such a regimen, cystine stones can even be
dissolved.
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT-
SCOPE- “Renal colic is caused by a stone in the
ureter, which by its irritation causes a spasmodic
clutching of the little circular fibres of that canal;
the proper medicine relaxes these fibres, and the
pressure from behind forces these calculi out at
once.”-Kent.
There are various Homoeopathic Medicines by
which we can manage the urolithiasis. Some of
them are listed below:
Berberis Vulgaris- is an excellent remedy for
treating a variety of issues related to kidney and
renal health. This remedy soothe pain that radiates
into the back or shoots towards the bladder.
Indicated for Kidney stones if the pain is on the
left side. It is especially helpful for reducing
bubbling sensations as well as general discomfort
or sensitivity in the kidney region. Patient
experiences stitching, cutting pain from left
kidney following the course of the ureter into
bladder & urethra. The patient is experiencing
burning & soreness in region of kidneys.
Benzoic Acid -Excess of uric acid in urine. Urine
high coloured, urinous odour highly intensified.
Dark brown, highly offensive. Gonorrheal &
syphilitic patients. Pain suddenly change their
locality. Rheumatism & gout.

urging to urinate, passing but a few drops at a
time, which is mixed with blood. Intolerable
urging before, during & after urination. Violent
paroxysms of cutting & burning in whole renal
region. Urine is jelly like, and shredy. The patient
has raw pain, sore, burning in every part,
internally & externally. Over sensitiveness of all
parts. The patient drinking even small quantities
of water will have an increased pain in bladder.
Colocynth- Pains on urinating over whole
abdomen. Vesical catarrh, discharge like fresh
white of egg. Red hard crystals. Renal colic < left

and bloody urine. It acts on ureter and is indicated
for pain in lumbar region. Urine in these patients
is hard to start. Bloody urine with heavy deposit
of mucus is also a prominent symptom. Renal
stone symptoms are related to great thirst with
abdominal symptoms and enlarged prostate.
Lycopodium- is best suited for right side kidney
stone. Kidney stone patient has pain shooting
across lower abdomen from right to left. Pain in
back relieved by urinating. Urine slow in coming
must strain. Most prominent symptom in this
patient is Red sand in urine and Polyuria during

diseases of the kidney, bladder and urethra, The
symptoms are excruciating crampy pains in the
region of kidney with violent vomiting every few
minutes. The patient twists and turns in agony and
wrings her hands with intensity of the colic.
Pareira Brava- use is considered in cases of
chronic retention of urine where excessive
straining to pass urine is needed. It is a chief
remedy for urinary problems. It acts as a
stimulant and tonic, relieving irritation of the
urinary tract, indicated by constant urging, great
straining & pain down the thighs during urination.
Neuralgic pain in the anterior crural region (shin
area of the leg) is the very important symptom in
this remedy.
Sarsaparilla Officinalis – For Kidney Stone with
Burning at Close of Urination. In case of kidney
stone with excessive burning at the close of
urination, Sarsaparilla Officinalis is the medicine
that you can count on. Urine passed is scanty.
Urine may contain slimy or sandy particles. It is
for right-sided kidney stones.

CONCLUSION-
Not necessarily what illnesses are discovered, every
patient has to be advised to stay hydrated by drinking
a lot of water. Likewise in this Renal calculi the
person is necessary to drink more water and it helps
to relieve the complaints. Homoeopathy and there are
various indicated Homoeopathic Remedies which are
helpful for the patients to improve complaints along
with the removal of stones. Conditions in which
surgery has a high degree of risk, such as diabetes,

Dalal1 , Dr. Namrata Shah1 , Dr. Kirtida Desai2 1 B.H.M.S, PG Scholar in Department of Practice of Medicine, 2 B.H.M.S, M.D, P.G. Guide, P.G. Coordinator, PhD Guide, HOD & Professor in Department of Practice of Medicine, 1,2 Jawaharlal Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College, Parul University, Vadodara, Gujarat, India ABSTRACT Urolithiasis is the process of formation of stones anywhere in the urinary tract. It is a disorder of the urinary tract which is caused by a wide range of aetiological factors. Urolithiasis is one of the third most common afflictions found in humans. Approximately 80% of all kidney stones are composed predominately of calcium oxalate. These stones may lead to obstruction with dilation or stretching of the upper ureter and renal pelvis as well as spasm leading to severe episodic abdominal pain. Homeopathy, on the other hand, is a very effective cure for kidney problems and it is very cost effective for the patient to treat Kidney Stones. It eradicates the problem from its roots and helps prevent any further diseases and problems in the kidney. There are various Homoeopathic remedies which are very helpful to break and remove the kidney stones from the body and remove the recurrency of the kidney stones from Homoeopathic Medicines and these helps to establish the permanent cure of the patient.

Kidney stones typically form in the kidney and leave the body in the urine stream. Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stone disease, is a common, painful, and costly condition. While a stone may form due to crystallization of lithogenic factors in the upper urinary tract, it can subsequently move into the ureter and cause renal colic. If a stone grows to more than 5 millimeters (0.2 in), it can cause blockage of the ureter, resulting in severe pain in the lower back or abdomen. In some regions, the risk is higher, most notably in countries such as Saudi Arabia, where the lifetime risk of developing a renal stone in men aged 60–70 is just over 20%. INTRODUCTION There are various types of kidney stones. It is clinically important to identify the stone type, which informs prognosis and selection of the optimal preventive regimen. Calcium oxalate stones are most common (~75%); next, in order, are calcium phosphate (~15%), uric acid (~8%), struvite i.e.,(Magnesium ammonium phosphate) (~1%), and cystine (<1%) stones. Many stones are a mixture of crystal types (e.g., calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate) and also contain protein in the stone matrix. Rarely, stones are composed of medications, such as acyclovir, indinavir, and triamterene. EPIDEMIOLOGY Nephrolithiasis is a global disease. Data suggest an increasing prevalence, likely due to Westernization of lifestyle habits (e.g., dietary changes, increasing body mass index). National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data 2007–2010 indicate that up to 19% of IJTSRD51878
  • 2. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD51878 | Volume – 6 | Issue – 6 | September-October 2022 Page 649 men and 9% of women will develop at least one stone during their lifetime. The prevalence is ~50% lower among black individuals than among whites. The incidence of nephrolithiasis also varies by age, sex, and race. PATHOGENESIS- In the consideration of the processes involved in crystal formation, it is helpful to view urine as a complex solution. A clinically useful concept is super saturation (the point at which the concentration product exceeds the solubility product). However, even though the urine in most individuals is supersaturated with respect to one or more types of crystals, the presence of inhibitors of crystallization prevents the majority of the population from continuously forming stones. The most clinically important inhibitor of calcium-containing stones is urine citrate. While super saturation is a calculated value (rather than being directly measured) and does not perfectly predict stone formation, it is a useful guide as it integrates the multiple factors that are measured in a 24-h urine collection. Recent studies have changed the paradigm for the site of initiation of stone formation. Renal biopsies of stone formers have revealed calcium phosphate in the renal interstitium. It is hypothesized that this calcium phosphate extends down to the papilla and erodes through the papillary epithelium, where it provides a site for deposition of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystals. The majority of calcium oxalate stones grow on calcium phosphate at the tip of the renal papilla (Randall’s plaque). Thus, the process of stone formation may begin years before a clinically detectable stone is identified. The processes involved in interstitial deposition are under active investigation. PREDISPOSING FACTORS- Predisposing factors for kidney stones are- Environmental and dietary causes Low urine volumes: high ambient temperatures, low fluid intake Diet: high protein, high sodium, high calcium High sodium excretion High oxalate excretion High urate excretion Low citrate excretion RISK FACTORS- Genetic Risk Factors- The risk of nephrolithiasis is more than twofold greater in individuals with a family history of stone disease. While a number of monogenic disorders cause nephrolithiasis. The two most common and well-characterized rare monogenic disorders that lead to stone formation are primary hyperoxaluria and cystinuria. Primary hyperoxaluria is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes excessive endogenous oxalate generation by the liver, with consequent calcium oxalate stone formation and crystal deposition in organs. Intraparenchymal calcium oxalate deposition in the kidney can eventually lead to renal failure. Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes abnormal reabsorption of filtered dibasic amino acids. The excessive urinary excretion of cystine, which is poorly soluble, leads to cystine stone formation. Cystine stones are visible on plain radiographs and often manifest as staghorn calculi or multiple bilateral stones. Stones are due to composed of medications, such as acyclovir, indinavir, and triamterene. Infections can cause Struvite stones are virtually always caused by a urinary tract infection (UTI) as a result of an enzyme secreted by certain types of bacteria like klebsiella, E.coli, Proteus mirabilis. CAUSES- Dehydration from low fluid intake is a major factor in stone formation. Individuals living in warm climates are at higher risk due to increased fluid loss. Obesity, immobility, and sedentary lifestyles are other leading risk factors. High dietary intake of animal protein, sodium, sugars including honey, refined sugars, fructose and excessive consumption of fruit juices may increase the risk of kidney stone formation due to increased uric acid excretion and elevated urinary oxalate levels. Kidney stones can result from an underlying metabolic condition, such as distal renal tubular acidosis, hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria, or medullary sponge kidney. 3– 20% of people who form kidney stones have medullary sponge kidney. Kidney stones are more common in people with Crohn’s disease; Crohn's disease is associated

A person with recurrent kidney stones may be screened for such disorders. This is typically done with a 24-hour urine collection. The urine is analyzed for features that promote stone formation. Acquired causes- Hypercalcaemia of any cause. Ileal disease or resection (increases oxalate absorption and urinary excretion) Renal tubular acidosis type I Congenital and inherited causes- Familial hypercalciuria Medullary sponge kidney Cystinuria Renal tubular acidosis type I (distal) Primary hyperoxaluria Types of Stones- CALCIUM OXALATE- Calcium is one component of the most common type of human kidney stones, calcium oxalate. Some studies suggest that people who take calcium or vitamin D as a dietary supplement have a higher risk of developing kidney stones. CALCIUM PHOSPHATE- Higher urine phosphate levels and higher urine Ph (typically ≥ 6.5) are associated with an increased likelihood of calcium phosphate stone formation. Calcium phosphate stones are more common in patients with distal renal tubular acidosis and primary hyperparathyroidism. URIC ACID- The two main risk factors for uric acid stones are persistently low urine pH and higher uric acid excretion. Urine pH is the predominant influence on uric acid solubility; therefore, the mainstay of prevention of uric acid stone formation entails increasing urine pH. While acidifying the urine is not easily done, alkalinizing the urine can be readily achieved by increasing the intake of foods rich in alkali (e.g., fruits and vegetables) and reducing the intake of foods that produce acid (e.g., animal flesh). Urine uric acid excretion is determined by uric acid generation. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism; thus reduced consumption of purine-containing foods can lower urine uric acid excretion. STRUVITE STONES- Struvite stones, also known as infection stones or triplephosphate stones, form only when the upper urinary tract is infected with urease-producing bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Providencia species. Urease produced by these bacteria hydrolyzes urea and may elevate the urine pH to a supraphysiologic level (>8.0). Struvite stones may grow quickly and fill the renal pelvis (staghorn calculi). Struvite stones require complete removal by a urologist. New stone formation can be avoided by the prevention of UTIs. In patients with recurrent upper UTIs (e.g., some individuals with surgically altered urinary drainage or spinal cord injury), the urease inhibitor acetohydroxamic acid can be considered. Cystine stones- These stones tend to form onlyin patients with cystinuria, an autosomal recessive disorder affecting 1 in 15,000 adults in the USA that accounts for only 1% of patients with nephrolithiasis. In cystinuria, nephrolithiasis is the only clinical manifestation and it arises as a result of abnormal renal tubule transport which in turn leads to large amounts of urinary cystine excretion. The diagnosis can be made by finding typical hexagonal crystals in the urine. LOCATION- Urolithiasis refers to stones originating anywhere in the urinary system, including the kidneys and bladder. Nephrolithiasis refers to the presence of such stones in the kidneys. Calyceal calculi are aggregations in either the minor or major calyx, parts of the kidney that pass urine into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidneys to the urinary bladder). The condition is called ureterolithiasis when a calculus is located in the ureter. Stones may also form or pass into the bladder, a condition referred to as bladder stones. SIZE- Stones less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter pass spontaneously in up to 98% of cases, while those measuring 5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.4 in) in diameter pass spontaneously in less than 53% of cases. Stones that are large enough to fill out the renal calyces are called staghorn stones and are composed of struvite in a vast majority of cases, which forms only in the presence of urease- forming bacteria. Other forms that can possibly grow to become staghorn stones are those composed of cystine, calcium oxalate monohydrate, and uric acid. CLINICAL FEATURES Many patients with renal stone disease are asymptomatic, whereas others present with pain, haematuria, UTI or urinary tract obstruction.

The hallmark of a stone that obstructs the ureter or renal pelvis is excruciating, intermittent pain that radiates from the flank to the groin or to the inner thigh. This pain, known as renal colic, is often described as one of the strongest pain sensations known. Renal colic caused by kidney stones is commonly accompanied by urinary urgency, restlessness, hematuria, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. The pain steadily increases in intensity to reach a peak in a few minutes. The patient is restless and generally tries unsuccessfully to obtain relief by changing position or pacing the room. The intense pain usually subsides within 2 hours but may continue unabated for hours or days. It is usually constant during attacks. Patients with large renal stones known as staghorn calculi (see the image below) are often relatively asymptomatic. The term "staghorn" refers to the presence of a branched kidney stone occupying the renal pelvis and at least one calyceal system. Such calculi usually manifest as infection and hematuria rather than as acute pain. Dysuria (painful urination), Nocturia (excessive at night), Urinary hesitancy, Fever, Chills and Abnormal urine color or smell. SIGNS Loin tenderness – is usually manifestation of associated infection. Palpable kidney in the presence of staghorn calculus, or when obstruction has remitted. DIAGNOSIS Diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies. Clinical diagnosis is usually made on the basis of the location and severity of the pain, which is typically colicky in nature (comes and goes in spasmodic waves). Pain in the back occurs when calculi produce an obstruction in the kidney. Physical examination may reveal fever and tenderness at the costovertebral angle on the affected side. About 90% of stones contain calcium and these can be visualised on plain abdominal X-ray (radio-opaque stones) but non-contrast CTKUB is the gold standard for diagnosing a stone within the kidney or ureter, as 99% are visible using this method. Where a CT scan is unavailable, an intravenous pyelogram may be performed to help confirm the diagnosis of urolithiasis. Ultrasound can show stones within the kidney and dilatation of the renal pelvis and ureter if the stone is obstructing urine flow. Microscopic examination of the urine, which may show red blood cells, bacteria, leukocytes, urinary casts, and crystals; Urine culture to identify any infecting organisms present in the urinary tract and sensitivity to determine the susceptibility of these organisms to specific antibiotics. Complete blood count, looking for neutrophilia (increased neutrophil granulocyte count) suggestive of bacterial infection, as seen in the setting of struvite stones; look for calcium, urea, uric acid, parathyroid hormone. Renal function tests to look for abnormally high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia). 24 hour urine collection to measure total daily urinary volume, urea, creatinine, magnesium, sodium, uric acid, calcium, citrate, oxalate, and phosphate. Collection of stones (by urinating through a Stone Screen kidney stone collection cup or a simple tea strainer) is useful. Chemical analysis of collected stones can establish their composition, which in turn can help to guide future preventive and therapeutic management. MANAGEMENT Stone size influences the rate of spontaneous stone passage. For example, up to 98% of small stones (less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter) may pass spontaneously through urination within four weeks of the onset of symptoms, but for larger stones (5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.4 in) in diameter), the rate of spontaneous passage decreases to less than 53%. The indications for intervention to manage or remove stones from the renal tract are summarized.

Dietary calcium. In patients with hypercalciuria, a calcium intake of 800–1000 mg/day to reduce risk of bone demineralization. No dietary calcium restriction for hypercalciuria. Sodium is an important determinant of excretion of calcium and in hypercalciuric patients, sodium intake should be not more than 2 g/day. This is important in those treated with thiazide diuretics – a high salt intake here increases risk of hypokalaemia, which can promote hypocitraturia. Another reason to restrict sodium is that natriuresis promotes urinary excretion of oxalate and uric acid. Dietary protein. In patients with hypercalciuria in whom excessive intake of animal protein is suspected (dietary history or excessive 24-hour excretion of sulphate), less dietary protein can reduce calcium excretion. Thiazide diuretics (chlorthalidone, indapamide) stimulate renal calcium reabsorption and reduce urinary calcium excretion. Oxalate. Patients with hyperoxaluria should restrict intake of the many sources of oxalate. Hypocitraturia. Potassium citrate is preferred over sodium because the former promotes citrate excretion and for the need to restrict sodium for reasons already mentioned. Hyperuricosuria. Allopurinol 100 mg/day. Urine should be maintained alkaline in case of uric acid or cystine stones using potassium citrate or acetazolamide. Cystinuria. Chelating agents, e.g. penicillamine and tiopronin are effective in reducing stone formation, but have various side effects. Urinary alkalinization must be maintained at all times. In patients who can tolerate such a regimen, cystine stones can even be dissolved. HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT- SCOPE- “Renal colic is caused by a stone in the ureter, which by its irritation causes a spasmodic clutching of the little circular fibres of that canal; the proper medicine relaxes these fibres, and the pressure from behind forces these calculi out at once.”-Kent.
