Master Liu (pseudonym) is in his 50s and has symptoms of frequent urination and dysuria about a month ago, but he didn’t take it seriously because he had already < span>More than 10 years of kidney stones, plus prostatitis after getting older.

When symptoms appeared, he naturally thought that these two diseases were the cause. However, as time went on, he found that his symptoms became more and more serious, and every night I woke up many times at night and couldn’t even urinate at the back. This made him pay attention to go to the hospital for examination. After examination, Master Liu was found to have urethral stones, right kidney stones and left kidney tumors. Surgery as soon as possible.

Just a small kidney stone can turn into cancer? I believe this is difficult for many people to accept. Is the final result of kidney stones cancer?

1. How far is it from kidney cancer when kidney stones are found?

Kidney stones are “stones” in the kidneys caused by calcium, oxalate, uric acid in the urine A substance that accumulates and hardens in the kidneys when the concentration is too high.

At present, the incidence of kidney stones in China is about 1.61%-20.54%, and the incidence is increasing. Gao, do so many kidney stone patients get kidney cancer?

Professor Cao Yang, head of the Cancer Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that there is currently no There is direct evidence that kidney stones cause kidney cancer. However, some patients may have multiple renal pelvis stones combined with renal cancer, which may indicate that nephrolithiasis will repeatedly cause chronic irritation to the kidney, may cause renal cell cancer.

Many people feel that it is not a big problem after they find kidney stones on a daily basis, and they completely ignore them. Kidney Stones That Should Be Treated But Not, and these hazards.

1. Hydronephrosis

When there are stones in the body, it can cause Obstruction of the urinary system can easily allow urine to flow back or accumulate in the kidneys, which in turn can induce hydronephrosis, resulting in increased kidney pressure and decreased function.

2. Infection

Kidney stones may also cause urinary tract infections, manifesting as symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Some patients may also experience symptoms of high fever and chills.

3. Renal failure

The long-term stimulation and compression of stones in the kidneys, It may induce kidney atrophy, renal function impairment, etc., and it may evolve into uremia in the later stage.

After kidney stones are detected, treatment or follow-up must be actively performed, and they must not be ignored. In addition to kidney stones, there are some seemingly small diseases that also need to be treated in time.

Second, these minor diseases should also be dealt with in time, beware of cancer

1. Familial adenomatous polyposis strong>

Polyps themselves are precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer, and such polyps have a 50% probability of being passed on to the next generation, and the probability of canceration is almost 100% . For patients with hereditary gastrointestinal polyps in the family, screening must be carried out as soon as possible to achieve early detection and early treatment.

2, junctional mole

junctional moles are moles located at the junction of the epidermis and dermis. These moles are generally smooth, small and flat, brown or black in color, and appear on the palm of the hand , soles, lips, etc. are more common. Junctional moles tend to grow in areas that are easy to rub and have a higher risk of becoming cancerous than other moles.

3. Leukoplakia

Esophageal leukoplakia refers to hyperkeratosis of the esophageal mucosa The leukoplakia that appears later is a type of precancerous lesions. This disease is more common in men over 40 years old. Once found, it is recommended to conduct regular re-examinations. If the leukoplakia is abnormally enlarged and rough, it should be dealt with in time.

4. Chronic atrophic gastritis

Chronic atrophic gastritis is a type of chronic gastritis. The cancer rate of the disease is 0.5-1%. The risk of cancer is higher in the presence of intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia.

Speaking of which, suffering from kidney stones is not a “wonderful” experience, it will make people feel “what a painful realization”, want to prevent kidney stones Eat less of these foods.

Third, do not want to be targeted by kidney stones, these foods should be controlled

1. Foods with high oxalic acid content

Large accumulation of oxalic acid is one of the important incentives to induce stones, so we should eat less food with high oxalic acid content in daily life.

2. Foods with high fat content

Meat food, especially fatty meat, contains high fat content and should be consumed in large quantities It will reduce the amount of calcium that can be combined in the intestine, increase the absorption of oxalate, and easily accelerate the occurrence of kidney stones.

3. Foods with high sugar content

Sugar is one of the important nutrients in our body, but a large amount of sugar intake will not only increase the risk of obesity, but may also lead to urinary calcium excretion This in turn increases the risk of urinary tract stones.

4. Foods high in purines

< span>The final metabolite of purine in the human body is actually uric acid, which in turn promotes the deposition of oxalate in the urine, thereby increasing the risk of stone formation. Animal offal, seafood, peanuts, thick broth and other foods contain It is rich in purines, so it is recommended to eat less.

Xiao AI reminds again that in life We must not underestimate the “minor illness” in China. We must pay enough attention to any disease. Don’t wait until the minor illness has become a serious illness before regretting it. It may be too late. #Number Weekly# #HealthTrue Knowledge Project# < /span>
