The kidneys perform a number of very important functions. On the need to pay particular attention since the cessation of kidney function occurs uremia, and then death.
The main functions of the kidney
• maintenance of acid-base balance, ie, the secretion of acid
• cleaning the blood of harmful substances and metabolic waste products. Through the kidneys in the course of one day pass up to 1,500 liters of blood (and blood purification during the day create about 1.5 liters of urine)
• maintenance of a fixed blood volume and concentration of electrolytes and water flow and salt
• regulation of arterial blood pressure
• hormone secretion as kidney function monitored by different hormones, especially the antidiuretic hormone
In the renal reabsorption of some canals done, the body of necessary substances such as glucose, amino acids, electrolytes, and about 99% water. There are several diseases of the kidney.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are one of the most painful disorders that affect people, and also one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. Men are more frequently affected than women. Most kidney stones leave the body without the intervention of a doctor. Cases in which symptoms are present continuously, or other complications occur, can be treated by various techniques, most of which does not involve surgical intervention. Progress in research has brought us a better understanding of the many factors that promote stone formation. Kidney stones are formed from crystals that precipitate from urine and accumulate on the inner surfaces of the kidney. Urolithiasis is a technical medical term used to describe stones that appear in the urinary tract. Doctors also use terms that describe the accommodation calculus in the urinary tract. For example, a ureteral stone (or ureterolitijaza) is a kidney stone which is in the urinary tract, and kidney stones (nephrolithiasis). To simplify things, the text we use the term "kidney stones".
Usually the first symptom of kidney stone pain is extremely severe. The pain often begins suddenly when the stone starts to move in the urinary tract, causing irritation or blockage. The man felt a sharp, cramping pain in the back and side in the kidney or lower abdomen. Sometimes this pain with nausea and vomiting occurs. Later, pain may spread to the groin. If the scale is too large to pass easily, pain continues as the muscles in tight urinary trying to squeeze the tube down the stones in the urinary bladder. How stone grows or moves, blood may appear in the urine. While the stone down the urethra close to the bladder, a person may feel a frequent need to urinate or a burning feeling when urinating.If these symptoms are accompanied fever or chills, infection may be present. In this case, you should immediately contact a doctor.
Cystitis
Urinary tract infections are common in bacterial infection, after respiratory infections. They can be found in people of both sexes and all age groups. Women of childbearing potential 10 times more likely than men. The largest number of urinary tract infection occurs in otherwise healthy women. Cystitis is the most common bacterial infections of the urinary bladder. Cystitis starts suddenly, and include dysuria (painful urination), frequent urination of small amounts of urine (polakisuriju), urinary urgency (urgent need to urinate) and sometimes pain above the pubic bone.
Cystitis occurs when the normally sterile lower urinary tract (urethra tube or urethra and bladder) become infected with bacteria, which resulted in inflammation. Over 90% of cases of cystitis caused by Escherichia coli. Bacteria that get into the bladder is usually removed during urination. However, if the bacteria remain in the bladder, easily and rapidly multiply resulting in infection. Cystitis is a common disease, 100 people, two of them will get sick. Most common in sexually active women aged 20 to 50 years, but it can occur in sexually inactive or girl. Women are prone to develop cystitis because of their shorter urethra (the bacteria do not have far to travel to the bladder) and the relatively short distance between the openings of the urethra and anus. Cystitis is rare in men with anatomically normal urinary tract. In the elderly the risk of cystitis is large, with an incidence of up to 33 100 people.
Onset is usually abrupt. Cystitis usually causes the following symptoms:
• Frequent urination (polakisurija)
• Baking and feeling pressure when urinating
• painful urination (dysuria)
• urgent need to urinate (urgency)
• the need to urinate at night (nikturija)
• discolored urine (urine blurred)
• Sometimes blood in the urine (haematuria)
• unpleasant or strong odor of urine
• pressure in the pelvic and low back pain
Pyelonephritis
Infection of the upper urinary tract infection that develops in the kidney is called pyelonephritis. Even half of women with cystitis may also have an infection and upper urinary tract (kidney and urethra).What causes a urinary tract infection? In 90% of cases of urinary tract infection is caused by a bacterium Escherichia coli. Staphylococcus saprophyticus is the second most common cause in women (5-10%). Other species are Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Enterococci. Changes in the quantity or type of acid that is located in the genital and urinary tract are the main factors that contribute to lower resistance to infection. In healthy women in fertile age, the vagina is colonized by lactobacilli, organisms that maintain high environmental acidity (low pH), which is negative for other bacteria. In addition, lactobacilli produce hydrogen peroxide which promotes the elimination of bacteria and reduces the ability of Escherichia coli adherence to vaginal cells. When you reduce the number of lactobacilli, such as after menopause, increases the pH, and thus the risk of infection. The risk increases if the condition reduces the immune response, or in the case of structural deformation of urine retained or returned to the upper urinary tract. However, infection does not come every time when bacteria get into the bladder. During normal urination many bacteria are washed out of it. In addition, the immune system and antibacterial substances in the lining of the bladder eliminate many causes of infection. Pyelonephritis can be further classified according to extent and severity of renal impairment. The causes may be different.
Mention the most common causes:
• Flu
• angina
• pneumonia
• a variety of infections
• different poisoning
• high blood pressure
Phytotherapy against kidney disease
It is important to recognize the time and the resulting pain as soon as possible contact a urologist. After searching and accurate diagnosis, urologists usually with medical help and suggested the use of urological tea. At that moment, if every patient should contact phytotherapist which are determined by examining the necessary phytotherapy. New we have already described several times in the pages of this journal. Phytotherapic approach achieves much better results than it does with a tea or one drops.
