Gall Stone Pain wary, Often At Ulcer Pain Diagnosis

Gall Stone Pain wary, Often At Ulcer Pain Diagnosis

Gallstone disease is one of the many health problems experienced by the community. Still, a few patients with gallstones initially thought that the pain is only common digestive disorders like ulcers.

As revealed by Dr. Rino Alvani Gani, Sp.PD (KGEH), a specialist in internal medicine from Bintaro International Hospital, Tangerang, many patients who did not realize he often complained of heartburn, when actually experiencing pain of gallstones. "In fact, symptoms of gallstones is a lot like heartburn. Not a few people with frequent trips to the doctor and given the ulcer drug, but did not improve," said Rino in the discussion of Gall Stone Treatment at the Hospital International Bintaro on Thursday (18 / 9) It may happen because the complaint is felt in places adjacent, ie, stomach and gallbladder, where both are located in the gut. If one of these organs becomes inflamed, it's almost the same. "People think a lot of heartburn and bloating. But after several examinations there was a rock in a bag or bile channel," said Rino.

To distinguish with ulcer, said doctors who had become the best researcher in the Faculty medical UI, it should be noted propagation and frequency of pain. "If the frequency of ulcer pain usually slowly until finally the pain was so intense. But when gallstones pain suddenly arises with great and then go away," he explained. Inflammation of the sac and duct also cause pain below the ribs a little bit to the right. Potentially radiating pain down to the waist to the right and the right shoulder. When the stomach is inflamed, the pain was less upward solar plexus and to the left. "The pain usually occurs within 2-4 hours after eating fatty foods. The incidence of sudden often between the hours of 9 pm to 6 am," he explained.

Gallstones usually form in the gall bladder or bile ducts and liver channels. This stone can trigger inflammation and infection of the gallbladder and on other channels when a stone out of the gallbladder and cause blockage in other channels. "Gallstones are small is more dangerous than large stones. Because of the small chance to relocate or travel to another place and trigger other problems," he said.

Dr Rino Alvani Gani, Sp.PD (KGEH) adds, pain experienced by patients with gallstones and West Asia triggered by different causes. Research shows, gallstone disease in Asia is generally caused by infection in the digestive tract, while in the West triggered four risk factors, namely female gender, age above 40 years, high-fat diet, and fertility.

In Asia, including Indonesia, trigger an infection can be caused by germs that come from food consumed. Infection can spread to the bile duct to the gallbladder. "In Indonesia, the most important cause is not due to fat or cholesterol, but due to infections in the gut. The infection is spread unnoticed tract and cause inflammation of the gallbladder resulting in fluid in the gallbladder and cause the stone to settle. Infections are particularly causes of gallstones, said Rino, was typhoid or typhus. "Typhoid germs estuary or terminal was last in the gallbladder can cause local inflammation that is not perceived patient does not feel pain or fever .. Habits of the patient to discontinue antibiotic medication to completion can also lead to gallstones. Bacteria will continue to be in the gallbladder because of the journey will lead to cycles in the gallbladder. "Therefore, antibiotics should be spent so that the bacteria in the gallbladder is completely discharged.

Lifestyle Safe For Chronic Kidney Patients

Lifestyle Safe For Chronic Kidney Patients

Setting Food and Drink (Diet)
Food and drink are important to everyone, but more importantly in patients with CKD. Why? When kidney disorder / damage, metabolic waste substances and excess fluid and not required to be disturbed exile so that accumulate in the blood. Depending on the severity of the disease, this buildup can cause a variety of complaints that disturb ranging from nausea, vomiting, swelling (edema) and so on. By limiting and regulating the amount and type of food and drink into the body, substances remaining and less fluid will accumulate in the blood so that the complaint is reduced and the body more comfortable. These are 5 basic things that should be of concern:

A. Reduce intake of protein (especially for non-dialysis CKD patients routinely).
• Why?
Our bodies need protein in sufficient quantities. Among other useful protein to build and repair body tissues (eg muscles) that were damaged. The use of protein in the body produces waste materials in the form of a substance urea, which will usually expelled from the body by healthy kidneys. However, the kidneys are impaired will have trouble throwing the substance of urea from the body. As a result, there is accumulation of urea in the blood, causing what is called an increase in Blood Urea Nitrogen or BUN. One way to prevent this is to reduce the intake of protein. Although it should be limited, but patients with CKD still needs the protein intake for the body to function properly. Therefore, restriction of protein intake is not simply just 'reduce' alone but should be regulated by a doctor / nutritionist competent. In general, regulation of protein intake is based on the levels of GFR patients with CKD is concerned, by following the example as follows:


Protein intake is restricted to the PGK1
GFR (mL / min) protein intake (g / kg / day)
> 60 ---------- ------------------> protein restriction is not recommended

25-60 ---------- ----------------> 0.6 - 0.8 g / kg / hr, including> 0:35 g / kg / hr protein with high biological value.

5-25 ---------- -----------------> 0.6 - 0.8 g / kg / hr, including> 0:35 g / kg BW / day protein with high biological value or an additional 0.3 g of essential amino acids or a ketoacid.

<60 (nephrotic syndrome) --------> 0.8 g / kg / hr (plus 1g protein / g proteinuria or 0.3 g / kg addition of essential amino acid or ketoacid)

• Protein intake TIPS Set
CKD patient's body is more capable of using this type of protein with high biological value. Therefore, in choosing the type of protein consumed, it is recommended to include a protein with high biological value, such as chicken, fish, lean meats, milk and cheese.

B. Reducing Salt Intake
• Why?
Salt (sodium) is holding water. If you reduce salt intake, fluid in the body is not too many pile up, swelling of hands and feet that often occur when excessive body fluid will also be reduced, and the work of the heart and lungs also become lighter, thereby reducing the complaints of tightness and difficulty breathing. In addition, if you reduce the salt, the thirst will also be reduced so that the frame does not drink too much water.

• TIPS Reducing Salt Intake
1. Check food labels in the supermarket if it will buy the food. Choose foods do not contain too much sodium / sodium (preferably less than 400mg sodium / serving).
2. Expand the consumption of natural foods like fresh vegetables or fruit. Avoid canned food or instant food. Use a small cup so you do not drink too much.
3. Reduce salt in food will be consumed. Use other seasonings such as garlic, lemon, cinnamon, etc. to give a sense of cuisine that is not too fresh.
4. If using salt substitutes, choose one that does not contain potassium.

C. Reducing the Intake Air / Fluid
• Why?
Kidneys healthy and functioning normally would regulate fluid balance in the body, including the amount of fluid discharged through the urine. If the kidney is damaged / disturbed, this arrangement will be disrupted. Therefore, the liquid should be regulated, and if it needs to be reduced (per physician).


• TIPS Reduces Intake Air / Fluid
1. Sip-sucking piece of lemon, sour candy / gum to moisten your mouth from getting too dry / thirsty.
2. Drink only when really hungry for it.
3. Reduce foods that are too salty that are not easily thirsty.
4. Do not eat too many biscuits or crackers or snacks that are too salty.
5. If you are diabetic, you also need to control blood sugar levels from getting too high. High blood sugar levels also make it easier for you thirsty.


D. Reducing Intake of Potassium
• Why?
Potassium is a type of mineral that the body needs and can be obtained from food. As with the sodium salt and water, potassium levels are also regulated in the body by the kidneys. Therefore, the damaged kidneys can result in increased blood potassium levels, so the restriction of potassium from food may be needed so that potassium is not excessive. Excessive levels of potassium can cause problems such as heart rhythm disturbances that can be fatal.

• TIPS Reducing Intake of Potassium
1. Read food labels to find out the amount of potassium contained, and limit consumption of foods containing high amounts of potassium (eg spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, dried beans, and oranges).
2. Boiling starchy foods like potatoes with lots of fresh water that can reduce the amount of potassium contained in it. Do not forget to drain and discard cooking water before serving.

E. Reduce intake of phosphate
• Why?
Dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt), dried nuts, and chocolate, contain large amounts of phosphate. Consumption of these foods can raise levels of phosphate in the blood. If this excess can not be removed entirely by the kidneys, can have an effect weakens the bones in the body.


• TIPS Reducing Intake of Phosphates
Doctors may prescribe phosphate binders to help the body to reduce excessive levels of phosphate. The medication is best taken with food to prevent phosphate absorbed into the bloodstream, so that phosphate levels are not increased. However, nutritional and fluid needs of each person is not always the same. Therefore, always consult a doctor or nutritionist to find the right settings for your nutrition. You may have been told by a doctor about the amount of your daily drinking needs. Bring the water containing the appropriate amount of water you need for that day, and drink water only from a place that's all, so you can control the amount of water you drink and not drinking excessively.
