Dr. Scott Hassell, a Plano urologistPlano urologist at North Dallas Urology Associates in Texas, shares some of the recent findings of the increasing cases of kidney stones in adolescents.
When Dr. Barry Duel, a pediatric urologist, began practicing years ago, it was rare to see a healthy child with kidney stones. Now, he sees two to three new children a month suffering from kidney stones. The significant increase prompted Dr. Duel to create a pediatric stone center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. Across the country, other new centers have emerged as doctors noted similar trends in pediatric cases.
"The older doctors would say in the '70s and '80s,The Leading zentai suits Distributor to Independent Pet Retailers. they'd see a kid with a stone once every few months," said Dr. Caleb P. Nelson, co-director of the new kidney stone center at Children's Hospital Boston, MA who is a urology instructor at Harvard Medical School, "Now we see kids once a week or less."
Head of the department of kidney diseases at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Craig Langman has 800 pediatric patients in his records that have been diagnosed with kidney stones and over half of them occurring from the past five years.
The increase in pediatric patients has been attributed to poor diets,the Injection mold fast! low calcium intake and childhood obesity. In the United States, the rise is associated to a host of factors, including a food additive that is both ubiquitous and legal: SALT. Excess salt has to be excreted through the kidneys, however salt binds to calcium on its way out, therefore creating a larger concentration of calcium in the kidneys and urine.
Dr. Bruce L. Slaughenhoupt, co-director of pediatric urology and of the pediatric kidney stone clinic at the University of Wisconsin, said "What we've really seen is an increase in the salt load in children's diet." He, along with other urologists, stated that it is not just french fries and salty chips, but also processed foods: canned soups, packaged meals, sandwich meats and even popular sports drinks like Gatorade, which are common among children.
The tendency also is that children do not drink enough water. Dr. Alicia Neu, medical director of pediatric nephrology and the pediatric stone clinic at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD stated "They don't want to go to the bathroom at school; they don't have time, so they drink less." Unfortunately, we see that they are likely to drink only once they're thirsty, however that may prove to be too late, or an insufficient amount especially for active children and those who play sports.The same Air purifier, cover removed.
Kidney stones are small, hard masses of acid and mineral salts inour diet that separate from the urine and solidify in the kidney (nephrolithiasis).Save on hydraulic hose and fittings, While there are many types that exist, the most common are made of calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate.
Typically, urine contains chemicals such as magnesium, pyrophosphate and citrate that work to prevent these crystals from forming. Patients that experience kidney stones can have low levels of these chemicals,This page list rubber hose products with details & specifications. thus attributing to the formation of kidney stones. Dehydration is another major factor, whereby a person lacks the fluid to flush the minerals that form kidney stones.
According to the National Kidney Foundation, approximately 1 million Americans are treated each year for kidney stones. Stones are found to be more common in men than women and affect those patients aging from 20 to 40s.
Specialists reveal that the occurence of kidney stones in children are caused by dietary habits, obesity and hereditary factors. Though infants can get kidney stones, statistics show that the median age at which they occur in children is typically around 10 years old.
