My name is Skye and I'm male, and I personally love my name (No, I'm not gay). I've never found a straight-up definition of this name, but I have been given multiple separate answers, and people have told me it means: eternal, winged, protected, sheltering, and enduring. So for me really, it's a survivor's name.
Diagnosis of kidney stones is best accomplished using an ultrasound, intravenous pyleography (IVP), or a CT scan. Most kidney stones will pass through the ureter to the bladder on their own with time. Treatment includes pain-control medications and, in some cases, medications to facilitate the passage of urine.
Potassium magnesium citrate is a nutritional supplement that fights kidney stones in three different ways. The potassium provided by the supplement raises the pH of the urine, making it more alkaline, thus reducing the amount of calcium that the urine can dissolve. When there is less calcium in the urine, fewer calcium kidney stones can form.
