Renal Calculi: A Comprehensive Review
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Renal calculi is nothing but a crystalline structures of calcium oxalate (C2H2CaO5) associated with risk factors like dehydration, high fat diet, high salt, animal protein and obesity. Due to the formation crystalline structure in the distal tubule, collecting duct etc. have symptoms like abdominal pain. Nephrolithiasis is a worldwide situation affecting all the regions. It is more prevalent in Europe, Canada, America, East Asia, Gulf region, Japan, China and different parts of India. The epidemiological study of renal calculi is evolving regarding the diet, obesity, gender etc. by modifying life style, diet and normal healthy weight, low fat and salt, proper hydration; we reduce the occurrence of renal calculi. The prevalence of renal calculi increases with augmented intake of caffeinated, high sugar containing beverages etc. Recent study shows that consumption of 8-ounces of caffeinated coffee and tea decrease the risk of stone development in women by 10 % and 8 % respectively. The same amount of wine decreases the risk by 59 % while grape juice increases the risk by 44 %.
