Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description
Male | 30
A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.

Kidney stone Left right both
Male | 22
Kidney stones might develop on one side of the body or both. They are similar to small stones that grow in a person's kidney. Signs include urine containing blood, having a problem urinating, and pain in the back or side. Causes may result from not drinking enough water and eating too much salt. To cure this condition, one may need to take a lot of fluid or use particular drugs; in some cases, an operation might be necessary to remove the stones.

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.

Male | 56
Your dad has tough skin issues; those itchy blisters bursting constantly. It happens when kidneys don't work right, common in severe chronic kidney disease. Poorly functioning kidneys cause such symptoms. To ease the itch and prevent new blisters, keeping skin clean and moisturized is key. Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps, and apply soothing creams. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a nephrologist for evaluation and treatment options.

I am 66 years old. Known case of ESRD on heamodialysis 3 times for the last 5 months. H/O htn on medication for the last 9ys . No DM . Past HO hepatitis c ( cured)
Male | 66
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.

The patient has had liver cirrhosis since 2012 and also has a kidney stone measuring 20-22 mm. Due to the size of the stone, the kidney has been affected. However, doctors are hesitant to treat the kidney stone due to the liver condition. Could you please provide advice on how to proceed?
Female | 45
A big stone probably means that the kidneys will start producing a lot of blood alongside urine. Besides, those stones can cause blockage of the ureter, thus, enlargement of the kidney. Therefore, risks that come together with a liver consisting should be pointed out and discussed with a nephrologist to take advice that would help the patient handle both liver and kidney problems proficiently.

Diabetes type 1 and chronic kidney disease make a challenging combo. Kidneys can get damaged by diabetes over time. Look out for fatigue, swelling, and urinary troubles - these signal kidney problems. Controlling blood sugar levels and blood pressure helps protect the kidneys.
