  Preventing Kidney Stones: Effective Strategies for a Healthier Life

  Kidney stones are a common painful condition that can be experienced by anyone. These solid deposits of minerals and salts can form in the kidneys, causing agonizing pain as they move through the urinary tract. While some people are genetically more prediscovered to grow kidney stones, there are several things that we can do to help prevent these from forming in the first place. Making some lifestyle changes and simply being cautious of dietary practices can greatly reduce your chances of developing this painful condition.1.Stay Well-hydratedThe best way to try to prevent kidney stones is to keep hydrated. Staying well hydrated by drinking adequate water during the day helps to dilute materials that create stones in the urine.Minerals and salts are less likely to crystalize and form stones when urine is dilute. Their reason behind this is that the normal, reliable advice says that you ought to be drinking 8–10 glasses, or 2–3 liters, of water a day, but whose to say what this refers to when there are so many factors in your environment, level of activity, health conditions, etc. That will determine how hydrated you need to be. Those with a history of kidney stones are often advised to drink enough water to produce around 2.5 liters of urine per day. Water remains the best, but other fluids (like herbal teas and citrus-based drinks) can help with hydration, and possible prevention, in some cases, because citrate (found in citrus-based drinks) can help reduce formation of stones.2.Balanced DietDiet is also an important part of preventing kidney stones. A diet that is low in salt and animal protein may help prevent stone formation. Excessive sodium intake can raise the amount of calcium in the urine, a major component of many kidney stones. So it’s important to limit processed foods, canned soups and salty snacks. Moreover, decreased animal proteins (e.g red meat, poultry/eggs) consumption will help to decrease the urinary levels of uric acid(another contributor to stone formation). We can certainly reduce our intake of animal proteins, and replace with more plant-based proteins, like beans, lentils, and tofu.3.Get Enough CalciumCalcium is also misunderstood with regard to kidney stones. Although calcium is a component of many stones, avoiding calcium is not the answer. In fact, consuming adequate calcium through fooddairy products or fortified plant-based options — can help prevent stones. That’s because calcium attaches to oxalate in the intestines, where it prevents oxalate from entering the bloodstream and being filtered out through the urine, where it can lead to stone formation. But speaking of extra calcium, it is also one of the minerals which shouldn't be taken in excess as it increases stone risk.4.Take in Oxalate-rich FoodsAnother food-related factor is the consumption of foods high in oxalate.Foods that are high in oxalate contain a compound that can combine with calcium in the urine to make calcium oxalate stones — the most common type of kidney stones. Spinach, rhubarb, beets, nuts and chocolate are all high oxalate. That doesn’t mean you have to completely ban these foods, but moderation, as well as balancing these foods with calcium-rich foods, may help in stone formation.So in summary, the avoidance of food that would cause kidney stones, drinking lots of fluid and maintaining a healthy life style solves the puzzle of staying away from kidney stones. Well, here you can really reduce your risk of this painful condition as long as you drink enough water, reduce salt and animal proteins, take enough calcium, control oxalate-rich foods and weight. Though none of these approaches guarantee immunity from kidney disease, they help support these important organs while improving your quality of life. So if you’re prone to kidney stones (or at higher risk), always check with your doctor directly for more tailored advice.

  Manifestations of Liver Damage

  Liver is one of the most important organ of us, it plays an essential role in detoxification, metabolism and nutrition storing. Due to the continuous and constant liver malfunction, it will lead to severe disease. Therefore, knowing the symptoms of the liver damage ahead of time is super important, so that you can get to be cured as soon as possible. Here are some early symptoms that you ought to know about liver damage.1.Fatigue and WeaknessFatigue and reduced strength is a common sign of liver damage. The liverisalso involved inenergy metabolism, turning nutrients into glucose the body metabolizes for energy. Without a well-functioning liver, this cycle is disrupted and manifests as chronic fatigue.Also, aslower detoxified liver will fill up the blood with toxins that, in turn, can lead to fatigue.2.Abdominal Pain and SwellingLiver damage can feel likediscomfort or pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen (where the liver is located). Depending on the level of injury, this pain would be consistent and dull orsudden and sporadic. In more severe instances, such ascirrhosis, the liver may enlarge and the abdominal area may become distended. Liver damage can also cause fluid to build up in the abdomen, a condition called ascites, making the belly swell,often painfully.3.Digestive IssuesLiver plays a vital role in digesting the fat, it will produce a kind of material which is called bile. When the production of bile decreases because of your liver damage, it will lead to the issues of digestion, such as nausea, vomiting and have no interests to eat and drink. Patients can also go through the hard times such as diarrhea or constipation, because the ability and capability of liver’s digestion in nutrients can be affected dramatically. Sometimes, an aversion to fatty foods will develop, because the body is not able to digest thesefoods well.4.Skin ChangesLiver damage can present other skin-related symptoms along with jaundice. Itchy skin (pruritus) is a prevalent issue, generally caused by the accumulation of bile salts in the circulation when the liver fails. Increased levels of estrogen can induce skin changes, such as a spider angioma which is a small red blood vessel that can be found on the skin – often on the face, chest and or arms.These are caused by heightened levels of estrogen, which the liver typically helps control.5.Bruising and BleedingWe need protein to form a blood clot and proteins are produced in the liver. The liver produces these proteins; when damaged, it produces less of them, which increases its tendency to bruise or bleed easily. Patients may observe such symptoms as frequent nose bleeds, bleeding from the gums and prolonged bleeding from small cuts. In extreme cases it can cause bleeding inside the body, which can be fatal.6.Cognitive Confusion (Hepatic Encephalopathy)From damaging the liver, which in turn can cause toxins, particularly ammonia, that the liver normally filters out, to build up in the blood. Hepatic encephalopathy is a cognitive impairment caused when these toxins reach the brain. Symptoms can include anything from mild confusion and trouble concentrating to severe disorientation and memory loss, and sometimes coma. This is more common in advanced liver disease (e.g, cirrhosis).In brief, there are a lot of manifestations when your liver is damaged, you need to find out these symptoms as soon as possible in order to get proper treatment . And if you have realized some of the symptoms mentioned above, you’d better go to see a doctor. As a matter of fact, the change of your living habits, the usage of right medicines and the necessary operations can cure your liver damage. If you keep healthy diets and do regular exercise, you can avoid liver damage of course.

  Etiology of Hives

  The medical name for hives is urticaria, and they are a commonly occurring skin condition that involves sudden, itchy, red and swollen areas of skin, know as welts, on the skin. They can also vary in size and shape and often arise and subside multiple times in a short period. Hives are usually not life threatening, but can be painful and distressing. Once you know what is triggering it or treated the underlying causes of the hives, your hives will go away. Life history and co-morbidities have a debilitating impact affecting transition to adulthood, and the hive is one of them. Here are the reasons why you encounter the hives.1.Allergic ReactionsFirst and foremost, allergic reactions are among themost widespread causes of hives. When the body reacts to an allergen, the immune system is hyperactive and release histamine and other chemicals in the blood. This results in blood vessel dilation and the swelling and itchiness characteristic of hives. Several common allergens which may lead to the hives include nuts, eggs and dairy products. And if you are stung and bitten by some insects, you may also have the chance to get hives. Even exposure to latex or certain chemicals has made me break out into hives in some cases.2.Physical StimuliThese typesof hives occur for example might occur after physical stimulation of the skin. There are many sub-typeswithin each category which may have a different trigger. Dermatographism, or “skin writing,” is an example of this phenomenon in which, when the skin is lightly scratched or rubbed, raised welts appear.The cold hives can be obtained by the exposure to the low temperature, while the solar hives results from the exposure to the sunlight. Heat hives which is caused by heat, cholinergic hives which is caused by the increase in body temperature such as exercise or taking showers, are other common physical hives. What is more, hives can be caused by these physical triggers that make the mast cells in the skin histamine-producing cells.3.InfectionsOne more common reason that causes the hives is the infection by virus or bacteria. Other viral infections — like the regular flu and hepatitis — can stir the immune response so much that hives result. The hives also can happen during a viral illness, particularly from the common cold, and can occur when you are infected by bacteria, especially because of the streptococcus or staphylococcus. And hives can be caused by all sorts of conditions, including infections from parasites.Infections are thought to elicit hives through the same process, although the exact mechanism is not fully understood.4.Systemic DiseasesHives may also be thesymptom of an underlying systemic disease. Chronic urticaria is often associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid disease. Increased inflammation and rushing histamine are generated under these circumstances, causing the immune system to inaccurately attack the body’s own tissue. Certain cancers can also be behind hives, as part of the immune response the body launches to fight the malignancy, particularly lymphomas and leukemias. In some cases, hives can be a sign of an underlying endocrine disorder, such as diabetes or adrenal insufficiency.All in all, hives can have many different causes, with both allergic and nonallergenic sources behind the mechanisms that lead to this condition. The cause of what that will be individualized for what kind, however, will always have a foundation to the treatment and management of the eczema that person has. In several instances, recognizing and avoiding the trigger can greatly lessen the frequency and intensity of outbreaks. But chronic urticaria may require a more complex treatment plan that could involve antihistaminesor other medications to help manage symptoms. With further research, revealing the mechanisms behind hives, new and more targeted treatments are likely to come, and that driveshope who have to deal with thisproblem.
