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.
Allopurinol is in a group of medications called xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Allopurinol is used to prevent the buildup of uric acid crystals that lead to painful gout and kidney stones. Allopurinol works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid.
