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.

What type of disease is this symptoms, 1.swollen legs and hands 2.internal joints pain 3.feet and finger pain 4.smelly urine when peeing during swollen legs

Female | 27

Swelling of the legs and hands, painful joints inside your body, and also hurting feet and fingers can be caused by a condition called Rheumatoid Arthritis. The immune system gets confused and starts to attack the joints which are the reasons for the pain and inflammation. Smelly urine during swollen legs might be a sign of kidney problems. Enough water intake and medication are the ways to manage symptoms.

Toilet baar baar aata hai jalan hota hai aur 1 hours me 10 to 15 times urine jaana padta hai left kidney ke 2-3mm stones hai please help me

Female | 24

You could have felt the kidney stones along with a burning/ painful situation during pee. For the larger part, kidneys produce such types of stones that are made up of water, calcium oxalate, and uric acid. Water is the best and first food to flush out these stones, so you should drink a lot of it. If the pain won't go away, visit a nephrologist and go through the advised treatments, if any.

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.

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.

UTIs are no fun, causing burning, frequent urination, and fatigue. They can become tricky after multiple infections. Great your urologist is exploring options. Drinking lots of water, staying clean, and following doctor's orders help.

I am 72 years.recenly kidney function test blood report I found my creatinine level is 1.61 and egfr is 43.i do not have any kidney problem as such.In 2019 I undergone angioplasty in Jupiter hospital.and that time my creatinine level was 1.6 and you had given me the medicine Reno save and the level came down

Male | 72

Your creatinine level is a bit above normal and your eGFR is a bit below normal. These are not a big deal and can occur due to age or some health problems in the past like angioplasty. It may not be visible in the beginning. Thus, living a healthy lifestyle such as eating well, drinking enough water, and making regular doctor visits can greatly assist your kidneys.

I am a 64 year old female who was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy in 1992. I am now Stage 4. My creatinine hovers around 2.38 and my GFR is 23. I do not have protein spillage or blood in my urine. I have lost 124 lbs over the last 12 months with the assistance of Zepbound? Please help me understand what is causing my Creatinine to continue to rise? Could the Zepbound be causing this? I eat 1200 calories a day and stay within my sodium and potassium goals. I run 3 miles a day. But my kidneys are continuing to worsen. Please help me understand what else I can do. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? Should I get another kidney biopsy since my last biopsy was 32 years ago? Thank you so much for your help.

Female | 64

Considering your circumstance with IGA nephropathy, it is usual that creatinine levels may increase as kidney functions get worse. Also, rapid weight loss may affect kidney function. It is good that you are committed to eating right and exercising, but running 3 miles every day could strain your kidneys more. You should talk about these worries with a nephrologist. A further kidney biopsy might be able to tell what is happening to your kidneys now.

Sometimes when I’m in a certain position and I cough or laugh hard my kidney will have a quick sharp pain. It has happened twice today and I noticed it about a month ago I would say but it’s not often. Should I be concerned about this? It is giving me anxiety.

Female | 18

You may have "referred pain" from kidneys. Sometimes, coughing or laughing hard moves kidneys slightly, causing sharp pain. This could be a kidney stone or muscle strain near the kidney. To ease anxiety, drink water and avoid motions triggering pain. If pain continues or worsens, contact a nephrologist for evaluation.

My GFR rate is 58. 73 years old. I was prescribed Herperax 800 for 5 days 4 tablets each. Whether the kidney would have been affected and if so, how long will it take to recover to original position

Male | 73

A GFR level of 58 indicates that you are in Stage 3 kidney disease. Herperax 800 has kidney side effects. Kidney problems may be indicated by the urine output changes and the swelling. To help your kidneys recover, drink plenty of water, avoid medications that harm your kidneys, and follow up with your doctor for monitoring. It can take time for the kidneys to improve, but following these steps can help.

hi , what treatment to relieve my dad’s symptom who severe chronic kidney who have symptom blister itch and burst ?

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.

This could be due to several factors, like kidney issues or stress affecting the kidneys, causing temporary foamy urine. High triglycerides and STPT levels also need attention. Consulting a nephrologist will help you get the right assessment and advice.

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.

I am a 31 year-old male. I think I had food poisoning last friday night. I had stomach aches, vomited like 3 times but also my urine was brown-ish and what felt like my right kidney hurt. After ~14hrs of rest most of the symptoms were gone and by monday i felt as good as new and returned to eat normally. This morning I woke up with that kidney pain again. Should I go see a doctor or or will this get better by itself?

Male | 31

It sounds like you had a tough time last week with food poisoning. If you're noticing brownish urine and pain in your right kidney, it could be a sign of a kidney infection. This can return without proper treatment, so it's best to see a nephrologist for an examination and the right medication to help you recover.

Is nic showing on a bloodtest

Female | 17

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'.
