Your kidneys are an amazing blood purifier!
Each one has about one million tiny filtering units that help whisk toxins out of your body to help keep you healthy.
But for more than 600,000 people each year, something goes painfully wrong. Tiny crystals can build up inside the kidneys to create a small stone that cause excruciating pain you wouldn’t wish on anyone.
What can you do to help prevent this dire situation? How can you relieve a kidney stone attack?
The doctors at the world-renowned Harvard Medical School have the rock-solid answers you need in an online guide called What do do about Kidney Stones. For example:
What causes kidney stones to form? One common way is by not getting enough fluid in your diet. The other cause is an out-of-balance pH of your blood. Discover the surprising ways you can help keep stones from forming.
Am I at risk? See how your diet, age and even your occupation can put you at risk of certain types of kidney stones and what you can do about it.
What about treatment? Find out what at-home and medical treatments doctors recommend to help control the intense pain — plus what doctors can do if a stubborn stone doesn’t pass.
How can I prevent kidney stones? Drink enough fluids every day...eat a heart-healthy diet (that’s also good for your kidneys) ...and, depending on blood tests, take stone-preventing medication. Get all the details in this informative resource.
Does it matter what KIND of kidney stone I have? Yes! Knowing what your stone is made of can help you avoid a repeat incident. Harvard Medical School docs show you how.
