Hi, I'm Neff! Let's talk about
kidney stones. What are they?

2
00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:07.992
And how can you help prevent more?

3
00:00:08.638 --> 00:00:11.080
A kidney stone is a hard,
pebble-like piece.

4
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.653
It forms in your kidney
from minerals in your urine.

5
00:00:14.303 --> 00:00:18.800
Some are as small as a grain of sand.
A small stone may pass on its own.

6
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:22.001
A larger one can get stuck
and block your urine.

7
00:00:22.639 --> 00:00:26.520
A stone can cause sharp pain in your back,
side, or lower belly.

8
00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:28.363
You may see blood in your urine.

9
00:00:28.955 --> 00:00:33.160
Bad pain that won't go away?
Fever and chills? Throwing up?

10
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:35.213
Get care right away.

11
00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:38.480
Had a stone once?
You're more likely to get another.

12
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.410
But there are steps that can help.

13
00:00:41.046 --> 00:00:44.320
Drinking enough liquid,
mostly water, helps a lot.

14
00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:47.380
But with kidney disease,
the right amount can be different.

15
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:49.705
So ask us how much is right for you.

16
00:00:50.252 --> 00:00:51.840
Eating less salt can help, too.

17
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:55.388
And don't cut out calcium from
food unless we tell you to.

18
00:00:55.923 --> 00:00:58.760
Pass a stone? Try to catch it,
and bring it to us.

19
00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:02.132
Knowing the type helps us
plan how to prevent more.

20
00:01:02.690 --> 00:01:05.600
We're here to help.
