What are Symptoms of Urinary Calculus?

●Dysuria. Urinary calculus would cause incompletely urinary tract obstruction, make the urine line thinner, bifurcation and weakness and be accompanied with urinary frequency, urgency and dribbling. For secondary urethral calculus, due to its suddenly being embedded within the urinary tract, it would lead to suddenly interrupted urination, strong micturition desire and bladder tenesmus, and cause acute urinary retention.

●Pain. It is a common symptom of urinary calculus, and about 90% of patients would suffer from pain. Half of the patients would have sharp cramps, and the other half of patients would have waist or abdominal dull pain. The onset of cramps is sudden, and it would be unbearable in several minutes. Patients are usually dysphoric, roll in the bed and could not lie on their backs quietly. The pain usually radiates to the pubis, groin and perineum down through the ureter. The pain may be temperate or bouts, or stop suddenly after continuous several hours. But the dull pain may last for several days.

●Blood in the urine. It is generally characterized by microscopic hematuria, and some patients are with naked eye hematuria.

●The bladder irritation symptom. Though the urinary bladder wall calculus could lead to urinary frequency, urgency, urine pain and other symptoms, these symptoms may be caused by that the lower ureteral muscles are connected to the trigone muscle and that they are attached to the posterior urethra directly.

●Gastrointestinal symptom. Most patients would suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension. For patients without obvious cramps, these gastrointestinal symptoms may be misdiagnosed.

So if we have these symptoms in life, we need to have a timely check in hospital so as not to delay the best treatment time.

Why the Elderly are Liable to Get Chronic Kidney Disease?

It is known to all with the increase of age,the internal organs in the body will slow down its working speed,kidneys are also included,among which glomerular filtration rate also decrease as people grow older.According to the related researches,for the female aging from 18-39,their rate of getting kidney diseases is 18%,while for the 60-70 female,this rate will increase to 24.2%. Those data indicate that there is a great chance of getting chronic kidney diseases for the elderly.

Chronic kidney disease are caused and induced by many other diseases such as the so called senile diseases like hypertension,coronary heart disease,diabetes,osteoarthropathy in the elderly, senile skin pruritus,hyperlipidaemia and so on. Those senile diseases are the main symptoms that induce chronic kidney diseases. As the physical function in the elderly is gradually aging,those senile diseases will lead to pathological changes in the body and therewith increase the possibility of getting the diseases.

What should the elderly do when they have chronic kidney diseases?
According to the research,the death rate of the elderly who have chronic kidney diseases is 17.6%,one of the main reasons for which is that they do not know they have been caught by the kidney diseases, and another is that they are reluctant to be on dialysis. For the first kind,the main reason why they do not know they have got kidney disease is that the kidney problems are caused by those so called senile diseases,and they are taking the medicines to treat their senile diseases,as a result of which,the optimal treatment time is missed and they do not know anything until they have been diagnosed with renal failure.Another situation which lead to high death rate in the elderly is that they do not want to be on dialysis.According to the surveys,for the patients aging from 80 to 84 ,the survival time is about 16 months after dialysis,the time for the 85 to 89 is 12 months( those statistic values show the maximum and the minimum. Though the majority of them begin to die in 6 months,there are many who survive for years.)
