Q: Can kidney failure cause a heart attack?

Yes, people with kidney failure are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, which can lead to a heart attack. This is partly because kidney failure is associated with a number of cardiovascular risk factors, including: high blood pressure high levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol anemia changes in the heart and blood vessels build-up of toxins and waste products in the blood

Q: How is kidney failure after a heart attack treated?

Treatment for kidney failure after a heart attack may include: Medications to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the kidneys Medications to remove excess fluid from the body Dialysis to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body Kidney transplant

Q: How can kidney failure occur after a heart attack?

A heart attack can cause a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys, which can cause damage to the kidneys and lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) or even chronic kidney disease (CKD) over time. The decreased blood flow can also cause other problems that can indirectly lead to kidney failure, such as changes in electrolyte balance, dehydration, or blood clots in the renal vessels.

Q: What is the risk of kidney failure due to a heart attack?

The risk of kidney failure after a heart attack can vary depending on several factors, such as the extent of the damage to the heart and how well the patient responds to treatment. However, some studies have shown that about 10-20% of patients with myocardial infarction (heart attack) may develop acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI is associated with an increased risk of death.

Q: What causes kidney failure after a heart attack?

Kidney failure after a heart attack is typically caused by reduced blood flow to the kidneys, which can lead to kidney damage and impaired kidney function.

Questions & Answers on "Nephrologyy" (93)

I had kidney stones. Some are removed with ursl, but there are still some. I had wart or something else on my leg, so the doctor recommended to use salicylic acid bp 40%. I didn't even realize that I should disclose the fact of having issues with kidney thinking what could be the relationship between dermatology and urology. But I am pretty sure I have committed a huge mistake. The acid has probably entered to my kidney and caused something. It is such a painful ? in my back around kidney. I am far away from hospital (remote). Need first aid to get rid of the pain ? (probably some organic base will neutralize it)

Male | 24

Your back pain might be caused by acid affecting your kidney area, which can irritate this sensitive organ. Drinking plenty of water can help reduce the acid, but it's important to see a nephrologist.

Female | 7

The test report shows that your right kidney is good. But the left kidney has a bit of trouble. Some damage is there in the outer part of the left kidney. You may not have any problems right now. But you should look for pain or change in urine. To help your left kidney, you should drink lots of water. You should also talk to a nephrologist for more advice soon.

Female | 34

Often the second kidney stone might be missed on the first ultrasound. Stones can form in different parts of the kidney and may not all appear at the same time. Symptoms of kidney stones include pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, and discomfort while urinating. Treatment options include drinking a lot of water, medications, or procedures to break the stone. It's crucial to have your nephrologist check you for any additional problems and manage your treatment accordingly.

Dr, I was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy 32 years ago. I am 64 years of age and my creatinine is 2.31 and has been hovering around that number. I have lost 124 lbs over the past year with the assistance of Zepbound. My kidneys have not improved and appear to be getting slightly worse. I run 3 miles a day and eat around 1200 calories a day never exceeding my sodium or potassium requirements. I do not have protein or blood in my urine. Please help. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? I am currently In Stage 4 kidney disease. Should I get an updated biopsy since my only biopsy was done in 1992. What can I do? Could the Zepbound be causing my kidneys to worsen? I drink 100 ounces of water daily.

Female | 64

It is concerning that your creatinine levels are rising despite your efforts. IGA nephropathy can progress slowly over time, and factors like age, diet, and medications may influence kidney function. Zepbound's impact on your kidneys should be evaluated by a specialist. I strongly advise you to consult a nephrologist for a thorough assessment and consider getting an updated biopsy to understand the current state of your kidney disease.

Urine culture albumin-p resent in tracces,,,,ka matlab

Female | 33

If your urine has trace amounts of albumin, it means a small amount of protein got into it. This might show your kidneys have trouble or infection. It could cause swelling, frothy pee, or feeling tired. Make sure to drink lots of water, eat healthy, and skip salty foods. But if this goes on, you should see a nephrologist so they can check it out and treat you right.

Hello (apologies for long post) Caucasian, Male, 60, 6'0", 260 lbs. Meds: Lisinopril 40 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg x2 a day, Amlodipine 10 mg, Furosemide 20 mg, Glimepiride 1 mg, Janumet 50-1000 x 2, Atorvastatin 10 mg...NO drink/smoke or rec. drugs. Issue: After a lot of work, have lost 40+ lbs in last 5-6 years...blood pressure 130/85, A1c 7.0 ...here is the issue. In March of 2023, after years of my GFR staying constant in mid/upper 40's, (not great, but consistent), it was lower at 41. Dr wanted to check it again in 1 month. I very strictly controlled my diet/sugar/protein/soda/increase water intake, etc...take meds religiously...GFR dropped to 35. Dr sent me to a nephrologist, but before the scheduled appointment (which was 6 weeks later), he took me off of Triamterene...said it can be hard on kidneys. When the nephrologist sent me for labs, GFR went UP to 50. Another test 2 weeks later and GFR went up to 55. Nephrologist says that removing Triamterene from regimen played NO part in GFR rising...put me on Spironolactone due to edema returning . 6 months later at next check-up, all numbers and BP continue to be good, but GFR back down to 40. Is it possible that the diuretics have been hard on my kidneys and causing the lower GFR. I understand with years of HBP/diabetes, the GFR is not ideal, but I'd like to keep it in the 50's if possible. Family doctor took me off the Spironolactone and put me on Lasix in March of 2024...bloodwork coming up in a couple of weeks. Family doctor seems to think the diuretics have contributed to lower GFR...Nephrologist says they have nothing to do with my fluctuating GFR numbers... seeking input from anyone here with knowledge/experience...appreciate any insights re: affect of diuretics on GFR...alternatives to traditional diuretics, etc. I've read loop diuretics like Lasix best for kidney issues.

Male | 60

Diuretics such as Triamterene may have been responsible for your kidney problems, which in turn may have resulted in the increase or decrease of your GFR. The switch from you to Lasix by your family doctor is a good decision as it is a diuretic that may be less harsh on the kidneys. Continue to collaborate with a nephrologist to discover the optimal treatment for you.

ckd progression can stop or slower by taking the medicines

Male | 52

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys don't function properly. Symptoms are fatigue, swollen ankles, and trouble sleeping. CKD can be progressive and it may get worse over time. To delay the effects of the disease you can use the medicines your nephrologist has prescribed. These medications not only help the kidneys but also alleviate the symptoms. It is important to stick to the prescription and follow the right instructions to prevent the drugs from causing more damage to your kidneys.

Aoa, I m 43 year old male suffering from RENAL FAILURE my reports are as under . Creatinine is 19.4 Urea 218 Hb 8.4 Vomiting Abdominal pain

Male | 43

Your kidneys may not be working properly, leading to high levels of creatinine and urea in your blood. These substances should be filtered out by the kidneys but are staying in your bloodstream, causing symptoms like fatigue, low hemoglobin, vomiting, and abdominal pain. To start feeling better, you may need treatments like dialysis and medications to lower these levels. Renal failure is a serious condition, so it's important to follow a nephrologist's guidance for proper management.

Kidney stone problam i have 3more stones

Male | 31

A sharp pain in your side might signal kidney stones. Back or abdominal discomfort occurs, too, with pain during urination. Risk factors include dehydration, salty diet choices, and genetic predisposition. Drinking ample water prevents stone formation. Lifestyle adjustments plus medical guidance facilitate the passing of any existing stones bothering you.

Hi, I have end-stage kidney failure and I've been doing hemodialysis for 4 years now, and I've been worrying about my fistula or how long it is going to last before I get a tube stuck in my neck as an alternative. Today, the bulge on my arm which I assume is the fistula got moved or at least something got moved slightly causing discomfort and a change of shape of the bulge. Is that a cause for concern? It doesn't have redness or pain in the exact place, but I'm worried sick. Can this be fixed by a surgery? Other questions that have been bothering me. How about if it got ruptured? It started to bulge and reddened. Can it still be fixed? Also, let's say my left arm fistula died and I had to use my right arm. Can I still use my left arm for fistula once it's healed in the future? Thank you for your answers in advance, I'm a teenager who got dealt with a bad hand right from the get-go and I wish to know more about my current situation.

Male | 18

It’s understandable to be concerned about changes in your fistula. If you notice any discomfort, change in shape, or other symptoms like redness, it's important to check it. A vascular surgeon can assess your fistula and determine if any intervention is needed. Even if your current fistula fails, it's possible to create a new one in the same arm after healing. This should be evaluated by your doctor. Please consult your nephrologist or a vascular surgeon for a detailed examination and advice.

An increase in creatinine levels in the blood could indicate that your kidneys are not functioning properly. Symptoms are often not present at the beginning of the disease but as it progresses you can experience tiredness and suffer nausea. Common causes are dysfunction of kidneys, dehydration, and certain medicines. To reduce creatinine levels, it is necessary to drink a lot of water, consume a healthy diet, and take medications as prescribed by a nephrologist.

When getting a blood test, it may show if someone has too much 'NIC' in their system. This happens when people eat too many things with salt or if their kidneys are not working well. If you feel thirsty and tired all the time, or if your feet and legs swell up - those could be signs that something is wrong because of too much 'NIC'.

When you have ESRD, your kidneys do not work well. Although dialysis is working for you, high blood pressure may cause more difficulties. Be on the lookout for signs like being tired, swollen body parts and/or having trouble breathing. Do not stop taking your hypertension drugs; also follow a diet that is good for the kidneys plus keep being active.
