Lithotripsy (per sitting) in Ahmedabad

An Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is given after administering general anesthesia to minimize pain and possible discomfort to the patient. In some cases, medication is also given for minimizing chances of passing on infection. Shock waves are passed through the organ affected because of stones in the beginning. A tube is then passed through the bladder, for draining and collecting urine from the kidney. This technique ensures that even smallest of stones are removed.

Kidney problems and issues are on the rise in current times. Lithotripsy does not eliminate those problems, it merely reduces stone formations. That does not guarantee a long-term solution. You have to take care of your kidney and thereby the digestive system so that both collectively take care of your health. Here are few tips to maintain healthy and properly functioning kidneys:

• Regulate your protein intake - Protein is considered to be a prime nutrition factor for vegetarians. For people who love to gorge on animal meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, there is good news! The acid content in such foods reduces chances of stone formation.
• Water - Drinking around 8 glasses of water is enough to keep kidney stones from forming in your body.
• Dairy products - Diary products like cheese, milk, tofu etc. need to be consumed in a limit by people who have suffered from kidney stones before in their lives.
• Processed foods - Processed foods like chips, packaged food, instant noodles, all contain sodium in excess proportions. Avoiding them is like doing a big favor on your kidneys!
• Stop smoking - Smoking is responsible for kidney and heart diseases. Quitting smoking can safeguard your kidneys as well as heart health.
