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.
Once the stone's composition is known, your health care provider can prescribe medications or suggest dietary changes to help prevent another kidney stone. With calcium oxalate stones, your doctor may prescribe a thiazide diuretic, which may help prevent recurrences by decreasing the excretion of calcium in the urine.
