MANILA, Philippines - Do you have frequent severe cramps in the lower back? Are you always in pain when urinating? Is your urine cloudy or bloody? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have a kidney disorder.
Kidney disease is one of the top 10 causes of death in the Philippines, according to recent studies. Every year, about 120 Filipinos in every one million develop kidney failure due to stone formation.
One of the most painful kidney disorders is kidney stone — when hard pebble-like lumps develop from crystals that separate from the urine within the urinary tract. Calcium combined with oxalate or phosphate is the most common kidney stone. Another type of stone is struvite, which is caused by urinary tract infection.
Stones occur more frequently in men than in women. However, people with a family history of kidney stones are also likely to develop stones. Kidney stones can also be associated with external factors like diet and lifestyle. Foods high in protein, fats, phosphorus, and sodium usually disrupt the kidneys’ natural process of filtration.
To prevent formation of kidney stones, have a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Also, avoid salty and spicy food additives or flavor enhancers.
Kidney stones can now be easily treated with modern advancements in healthcare. The most common kidney stone removal procedure is through extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). It uses shock waves to break kidney stones into small specks to make them easily move through the urinary tract and out from the body.
Instead of undergoing surgery, a non-invasive treatment is recommended by doctors like taking oral medications that can break down the formation of calcium and uric acid stones and lead to faster recovery.
You can consult a doctor about such preventive medicine offered by New Marketlink Pharmaceutical Corporation (NMPC). NMPC offers a drug for renal therapy, which not only breaks down pebble-like lumps in the kidneys and urinary tract for easy discharge but also prevents the stones from coming back.
