Es muy importante notar un cambio drástico en la producción de orina del cuerpo. Podría implicar varias cosas. En ocasiones la ingesta de líquidos y alimentos específicos hará que desmayes más desechos de tu cuerpo. Sin embargo, si estas alteraciones ocurren sin una explicación clara y van acompañadas de sed frecuente, significa que debes acudir a unnefrólogolo antes posible porque podría ser un indicio de una enfermedad como diabetes o enfermedad renal.

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'.

Female | 42

Creatine is produced by the body and generally excreted by the kidneys. A creatinine level over 2.5 can indicate kidney dysfunction. Symptoms may include fatigue or swelling. Conditions such as hypertension or diabetes can lead to this problem. To support your kidneys, ensure sufficient hydration, consume nutritious meals, and adhere to medical advice.

My mother has kidney cyst problem what should we do?

Female | 60

Kidney cysts are comparable to tiny fluid-filled balloons that develop on the kidneys. They are widespread, notably as we grow old. Individuals with kidney cysts display no symptoms and require no treatment. However, if the cysts are painful, infectious, or result in hypertension, your mother needs an experienced nephrologist. In cases where the cysts are problematic, a physician may propose them to be drained off sometimes even surgery might be necessary depending on certain conditions.

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.

I am 45 yrs old woman with one kidney.i have a stomach pain and I have taken pudina Hara liquid several times but there is no any effect on the pain. Just have taken higene tablet. I want to ask you that can I take colinol tablet as I have only one kidney, does this colinol tablet affect the kidney. Please give your appropriate suggestions.

Female | 45

The stomach can hurt in many ways such as due to excess acid, digestive problems, or infections. Since the pudina Hara and Hygiene tablet did not help, it is good that you are cautious about taking new medicines with one kidney. Colinol tablet may affect your kidneys. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before taking any new medication due to your unique situation. Health and safety should always be the main priority. Seek an opinion from a nephrologist before trying a new medication.

I am having hematuria since last night. Iam diagnosed with kidney stone last year.is hematuria due to kidney stone. But I'm not experiencing any pain

Female | 20

Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be concerning. One likely reason is a kidney issue. Even without symptoms, it’s important to find the cause. The three main reasons are infection, a moving stone, or injury. Diagnosis is usually made through tests by a healthcare provider. Treatment varies and can include increased water intake and medications. Talking to a nephrologist is best to understand what’s happening in the body.

5mm stone left renal calculus and there is hard pain in kidney

Male | 25

A 5mm kidney stone in your left side can cause severe pain. Urine minerals gather and create the stone. Intense, stabbing pain may spread to your back or abdomen. Drink lots of water to help flush out the stone. Your nephrologist might give medicine to ease pain and help the stone pass more easily. In some cases, they may do a procedure to break up or remove the stone. Follow your doctor's advice carefully to manage the pain and get rid of that stone.

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.
