Lithiasis

Lithiasis is the formation of stones (calculi) in any internal organ, for example, in the gallbladder, urinary tract, pancreas or appendix.

Stones in organs are formed due to metabolic disorders, when the concentration of salts in biological fluids (bile, urine) increases, which then crystallize and are deposited on the walls of organs. This is facilitated by various factors, such as hereditary predisposition, poor nutrition, dehydration, and infections.

The most common forms of lithiasis are cholelithiasis and urolithiasis. Stones in the kidneys, gall bladder or bile ducts may not manifest themselves for a long time, but can cause acute pain, inflammation, and dysfunction of the organ. Lithiasis often requires surgical treatment.

Prevention of lithiasis consists of maintaining a drinking regime, eating foods rich in substances that prevent the formation of stones, and regular physical activity. If there are predisposing factors, regular monitoring by a doctor is recommended.

Lithiasis, or stones, is one of the most common diseases in the world, especially among older people. The formation of stones in various organs can be caused by various factors, such as genetic predisposition, poor diet, lack of fluid and others.

Gallstones in the gall bladder are called gallstones, and they can cause serious symptoms such as pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. If left untreated, gallstones can lead to the development of gallstones, which can lead to serious complications such as inflammation of the gallbladder, acute cholecystitis and perforation of the gallbladder.

Lithiasis can also occur in the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. Kidney stones can be caused by a variety of factors, including urinary tract infections, high calcium in the urine, and hereditary factors. Stones in the bladder and ureters can cause pain, burning and difficulty urinating.

In addition, lithiasis can occur in the pancreas and appendix, causing pain and discomfort in the abdominal area. Treatment for lithiasis depends on its type and severity of symptoms. In some cases, treatment may be conservative, including lifestyle changes, diet, and medications. In other cases, surgery may be required to remove the stones.

Thus, lithiasis is a serious medical problem that can cause serious complications and requires timely treatment.

Lithiasis is a medical condition that is characterized by the formation of stones in different parts of the body. They can be associated with the functioning of various organs and systems - for example, the kidneys, gallbladder, urinary tract or pancreas. Stones can form as a result of metabolic disorders in various diseases. Stones are formed due to the accumulation of crystals and grains of sand that block the ducts and channels inside the body, which leads to pain and disruption of the functioning of the organ.

The types of pathology can be different, they depend on the location of stone formation. So, for example, stones in the bile ducts can develop in the form of: 1. Concretions (stones); 2. Or leftover food (bile sand).

Most often, the formation of stones occurs due to excessive proliferation of mucopolysaccharides and calcium ions in the organs. Their particles, being cholesterol and calcified, stick together and form conglomerates - stones. The disease can develop as a consequence of untreated inflammation, metabolic disorders and disorders
