If you drink the milk not appropriate,milk can not instead of water to supple the human body needs. Excessively drinking milk,may lead to the removed urinary calcium increased,if the kidney stone is susceptible population,it is easy to cause kidney stones. Nutritionists advocate drinking milk helps sleep, but it is not suitable for everyone. For general health benefits, and patients with kidney stones and is cured to watch. The reason is: the milk of calcium renal stone composition and more, all containing calcium salt, calcium stone forming risk factors will increase. Sleep in the evening, it is also more calcium through the kidneys, and the urine concentration, easy formation of stones. Healthy people every day to drink 250 to 500 ml of milk can meet the body's needs. Wish your good heath!

Answer 4

My grandpa recently had a really bad case of kidney stones and had to have surgery. After, the doctor told him he can't have milk products anymore. So they definitely are related in some way.

Answer 5

too much calcium in your system can certainly cause kidney stones, but that usually occurs in older people, at 19 I doubt you need worry about that. If ever you get a kidney stone, believe me you will know it, the pain is worse than giving birth and I speak from experience.

Answer 6

Drinking a lot of milk can also cause Flem and stuffy or running noses. You should also be drinking water as well not just milk. Sounds to me you need to talk to a doctor or maybe deal with a proper trainer and take the proper nutrients.

Answer 7

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

Kidney stones, or Renal calculi, are solid concretions (crystal aggregations) of dissolved minerals in urine; calculi typically form inside the kidneys or ureters. The terms nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis refer to the presence of calculi in the kidneys and urinary tract, respectively. Renal calculi can vary in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as grapefruit. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size before passage — on the order of at least 2-3 millimeters — they can cause obstruction of the ureter. The resulting spasm of muscle, trying to move the stone, can cause severe episodic pain, most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen and groin (a condition called renal colic). Renal colic can be associated with nausea and vomiting due to the embyrological association of the kidneys and the intestinal tract. Hematuria is commonly present due to damage to the wall of the urethra as well as dysuria (when passing stones). Recurrence rates are estimated at about 10% per year.



Kidney stones can be due to underlying metabolic conditions, such as renal tubular acidosis, Dent's disease and medullary sponge kidney. Many centers will screen for such disorders in patients with recurrent kidney stones. However, most stones are idiopathic.

The most common type of kidney stone is composed of calcium oxalate crystals, and factors that promote the precipitation of crystals in the urine are associated with the development of these stones.

Conventional wisdom and common sense has long held that consumption of too much calcium can promote the development of kidney stones. However, current evidence suggests that the consumption of low-calcium diets is actually associated with a higher overall risk for the development of kidney stones. This is perhaps related to the role of calcium in binding ingested oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract. As the amount of calcium intake decreases, the amount of oxalate available for absorption into the bloodstream increases; this oxalate is then excreted in greater amounts into the urine by the kidneys. In the urine, oxalate is a very strong promoter of calcium oxalate precipitation, about 15 times stronger than calcium.

Other types of kidney stones are composed of struvite (magnesium, ammonium and phosphate); uric acid; calcium phosphate; and cystine.

The formation of struvite stones is associated with the presence of urea-splitting bacteria, most commonly Proteus mirabilis (but also Klebsiella, Serratia, Providencia species). These organisms are capable of splitting urea into ammonia, decreasing the acidity of the urine and resulting in favorable conditions for the formation of struvite stones.

The formation of uric acid stones is associated with conditions that cause high blood uric acid levels, such as gout, leukemias/lymphomas treated by chemotherapy (secondary gout from the death of leukemic cells), and acid/base metabolism disorders.

The formation of calcium phosphate stones is associated with conditions such as hyperparathyroidism and renal tubular acidosis.

The formation of cystine stones is uniquely associated with people suffering from cystinuria, who accumulate cystine in their urine.

No, it's a lot of salt consuption.
