kidney stones genetic predisposition

There are other types as well ( cystine, struvite , uric) Kidney stones may hold a genetic predisposition. In your case, the presence of kidney formers in the family may explain the onset of kidney stones at an earlier age. It is best to open lines of communication with your physicians. At this point, you may discuss on whether a referral to a pain management specialist may help.Continue following physician's advice regarding diet, fluid intake and exercise.

Kidney stones, for example. Kidney disease. Anatomy that is unusually shaped. You could have a genetic predisposition. Men should also have their prostate checked if they have chronic UTI's as that is a common cause of this recurrence. Not sure why anyone would opt to not treat a UTI since they are uncomfortable. They 'can' clear by themselves from time to time but if you have chronic uti's, the underlying reasons should be investigated.

Its important to remember that kidney stones are not uncommon and are easily treatable if followed up on. The other conditions are clinically rare.

If you have a strong family history of kidney stones and given the right genetic predisposition, increase intake of food high in calcium may incease the risk for calcium stone development in the urinary tract. So just take everything in moderation. Take plenty of water everyday and engage in mild to moderate exercises daily to improve circulation.Improved circulation facilitates excretion of wastes from the body.

I do have multiple medical problems that being treated, which include kidney stones. My labs are good except my K+, which is low. Do you think that there is any risk in genetic testing and do you think that there is any need to test? hx htn, atypical migraines, complex partial seizures, kidney stones and diarrhea with bx noncaseating granulomas. My mother has had thyroidectomy, noncancerous, rt adrenal adenoma( active) not pheo, high calcium, hot pituitary per my sister.

The genetic inheritance of asthma and/or a predisposition to it is complex. In essence, persons may be born with a genetic pattern favorable to the development of asthma but never exhibit the outward, clinical expression of it. I believe that description applies to your grandparents who actually did, in effect, genetically pass on the “asthma gene(s)” to your parents or, maybe just to one of your parents for a person with asthma need not get these genes from both parents.

Cystinuria is a cause of persistent kidney stones. It is a disease involving the defective transepithelial transport of cystine and dibasic amino acids in the kidney and intestine, and is one of many causes of kidney stones. If not treated properly, the disease could cause serious damage to the kidneys and surrounding organs, and in some rare cases death. The stones may be identified by a positive nitroprusside cyanide test. The crystals are usually hexagonal, translucent, white.

If there is a concern over the presence of a kidney stone, some stones may not be readily visible in an ultrasound and this where a CT scan may help.

i am used to the pain and can deal with it, what scares me is the kidney pain. normally i dont get kidney pain with the stones. i had to have only one stone removed surgically, it was stuck in the lining of my urethra, total pain on that episode before and after! Does anyone have any knowledge on preventing calcium oxalate stones that i havent tried already? i cant take diuretics because of a sulfa allergy, the potassium citrate does nothing, and i have slowed down on tea and cheese.

i too am sorry about what you went thru and am a little surprised at the meds they gave you and for some reason something is just not fitting here.

Hi all, I'm hoping some of you may have some advice or insight for me. Im a 32 yo otherwise healthy woman with a history of kidney stones, kidney infections and uti's. Ive had stones since the age of 18 and up until about 4 years ago i would only get them once or twice a year and they were always small enough to pass. At 28 i had my first stone that needed lithotripsy. Since then they've become much more frequent. This last 10 mos it has been at its absolute worst though.

Recurrent kidney infection can be due to diabetes, some anomaly or defect in the kidney or due to the organisms developing antibiotic resistance. Recurrent kidney stones are found renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, Dent's disease (genetic disease of the kidney), hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria and Crohn's disease. Since the pain comes before periods too, it can also be due to endometriosis.

t have any other pain conditions. Just stones and kidney infections as a result of the stones. I take antibiotics about 2 weeks out of every month to keep the constant infections at bay which i can't imagine is good. Im assuming he refferred me to the pain mgmt dr because he's afraid of prescribing pain meds on such a regular basis. I can understand it but its still not easy for me because I'm uninsured and can't really afford to add another dr to the mix.

I would suggest you seek a nephrologist or urologist at the nearest university medical center that specializes in kidney stones for further evaluation.

But still how would I save myself to have such horrible tragedies? as kidney stones can develop further involving a genetic risk.

Also, specifically, lemon juice appears to break down CaOx stones. I pass a kidney stone at least once a month, so I completely understand what you are going through. No doctor would expect a 9mm stone to pass on its own, its just too big. I personalyl wouldn't be that anxious to break it up though, because a 9mm stone can make quite a few smaller ones. Luckily, in some blessed individuals, stones can stay in the kidney painlessly for many years without causing any trouble at all.

Hi kdm1984, thanks for your post. People may have a genetic predisposition towards low or high triglycerides, which can then be affected by things like diet, alcohol intake, weight, and other factors. Because of the unknown underlying genetic predisposition (likely towards lower numbers in your case), it's hard to say exactly "why" a particular person's numbers may be what they are. But you make a great point that fish in particular can lower triglycerides.

If your twin has type 2 diabetes though which would indicate you have a genetic predisposition, the chance of developing it yourself is 3 in 4 times. Here's some information on genes and diabetes. http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/genetics-of-diabetes.html. Please always get regular physicals and check with your doctor for more information.

Early detection is very important in colon cancer, and despite what anyone tells you, it is not necessarily an indication of poor diet. Some people have a genetic predisposition to colon cancer. Be sure your doctor knows about your family history and get tested. It can save your life.

Who should I see for genetic testing that could be causing Myself and 2 daughters to have POTS dyautonomia? A genetic counselor, genetic clinic, or University School Genetic Lab. I want to look into EDS and all the other enetic basis for the illness. Anyone else out there been tested?

I think you need further examination to diagnosis, such as kidney B ultrasonic. You asked about the relationship between kidney stones and urinary tract infections. In fact, the formation of kidney stones and urinary great links, in the continuous development of kidney stones, it is prone to urinary tract infections. If fever, back pain, pus in urine appears, it could be urinary tract infection.

I am 38 weeks pregnant and my Ob prescribed me percocet for kidney stones. I passed the stone today so I wont be needing the pain killers anymore. But i don't want my baby to have this in his system when he's born. Should it be all cleaned out by the time he arrives?

I've only heard of one family where there were two cases. This is such a complicated syndrome!

MS is not a genetic condition but there may be factors that contribute towards a genetic predisposition and having two close relatives (Mum and Dad) I think would increase this genetic predisposition. There are other folks on the forum who have the statistics and are more knowledgeable than me on this subject so I hope they may be able to give you some clearer guidelines. Meanwhile you are very welcome on the forum and congratulations on finding that special someone.
