This broadcast discussed Kidney stones when combined with other conditions, that can be fatal to some women. Dr. Blaine Kristo with Mercy Medical Center, discussed when kidney stones are paired with other types of infections, it could lead to urosepsis, which can lead to death in some cases. He went on to discuss a patient by the name of Marylander Valerie Lopreato who had kidney stones and her experience with them. Mrs. Lopreato was hospitalized for three days and on IV antibiotics. Dr. Kristo explained how people who has had kidney stones have 50% greater chance of them returning. He recommended, for the prevention of kidney stones that you drink at least two liters of water a day. Women are affected at a much higher rate than men, which was a lot different from past cases. Dr. Kristo recommends that you seek medical attention if you start to experience severe pain for a long period of time. I found this article to be very informative. I have experienced kidney stones and I agreed with a majority of the information shared in this article. I will use this information in my future and share with others. This is a preventable condition with proper fluid intake and a low sodium diet.

MK was recommended to maintain a fluid intake of at least 2500 ml. a day. Fluid intake is the main component of fluid volume, which is necessary to decrease urine stasis, and increase urine flow, which helps to prevent kidney stone formation. Long-term goals were focused on patient teaching and understanding of the processes of kidney stone formation, possible ways of prevention, and available methods of treatments. Since the formation of kidney stones is strongly tied to lifestyle and diet, dietary modifications play an important role and are a priority in MKs education (researchgate 1). MK was recommended to terminate the use of vitamin D and calcium supplements, calcium intake should not exceed 1,000-1,200 mg daily. He was encouraged to increase his intake of fruits and vegetables, restrict sodium intake, and limit non-dairy animal protein (researchgate).
