Chinese has over 420 kidney stones removed

The Chinese newspaper Qianjiang Evening Post published yesterday (8) an impressive news. According to the text, a 55-year-old man named He from Zhejiang Province, China, had about 420 stones removed from one of his kidneys.

According to the hospital doctors who performed the procedure, He had a diet high in tofu and very poor in water, which meant that his kidneys could not eliminate the excess calcium that was consumed. Experts also said that if the patient had waited a little longer the entire kidney would have been removed.

This was not the first time He had faced the problem. According to his medical history, 20 years ago, the man removed several kidney stones through lithotripsy, a procedure that uses waves to break kidney stones and get them removed through the urine.
