At the same time if all the rules of prevention in individuals with a predisposition to kidney stones in most cases are not formed.
- Urinary tract infections induce the development of inflammatory processes. Proven a direct correlation between the presence of inflammation and the detection of stones in the urinary system. There is and feedback – stone formation contributes to inflammation.
- The stagnation of urine in the first place may be due to mechanical compression of any part of the urinary tract. For example, this can occur during pregnancy. Also there is stagnation in certain irregularities in the nervous regulation and taking certain medicines.
- Mechanical damage to the lumbar region are often accompanied by a violation of functional activity in the kidney, patency of the urinary tract, which in turn leads to an increased risk of stone formation.

In some cases with urolithiasis shown soda?
One of the most common options for non-pharmacological treatment kidney stones and urinary tract is the ingestion of baking soda. The therapeutic effect of the technique is based on the fact that soda has strong alkalizing properties gradually dissolves stones and helps remove them.
Here it is worth mentioning that the composition of the stones can be very variable. Therapy, depending on this there is different.

Along with this should take antispasmodic in the specified in the instruction dosage. But-shpa, for example, prescribed: 1 tablet two times a day.
To treat you can only use baking soda
If the soda treatment leads to a positive dynamics, and the survey shows the dissolution of stones, the remaining elements and sand suggest output using broth of potatoes.

Precautions in the use of baking soda
Alkalizing action of sodium carbonate is highly expressed, which may lead to negative consequences in overdose, or uncontrolled intake of soda. The fact that the ranges of pH (hydrogen ion exponent of the environment) permitted in body fluids are very limited. So, in the blood, it needs to be at the level of 7.4. When you reject a pH of at least zero point four-tenths in any direction changes, incompatible with life.
Before treatment baking soda need to make sure you have no contraindications to this method of alternative medicine
In the case of a liquid, like urine, the range is more variable and can range from 5 to 7 is normal. Persistent deviation to the acidic (pH 7) direction while not causing sudden death, but is the alarm bell and must search for the causes. After all, any disease is easier to win at an early stage.
Contraindications to the use of soda inside based on the fact that certain categories of persons may appear not increased acidity, and the deviation from the norm to the alkaline side, which is also fraught with consequences.
