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.

Hello, please is Creatine 5g daily for people with just a little bit of kidney dysfunction?

Male | 21

If you have kidney trouble, be careful about taking 5g of creatine per day. These conditions could get worse if you do. Some signs that your kidneys may not be working properly are tiredness, swelling (particularly around the ankles), and difficulty falling asleep at night. Before starting any new supplements, it is important to talk with a nephrologist first.

I'm 22 year old female.Recently(July end) i had kidney infection basically my ESR is 68 & Leuco cyte esterase is positive.so the doctors injected me some injections along with antibodies through drip.Now I'm suffering with no energy it's like it takes a lot of energy to do daily chores.also pain in lower back and on&off pain in stomach and in legs basically joint pain i would say.it feels like feverish but I have no fever as per thermameter.Is there any chance that I have kidney infection again? If no then what's the reason I'm feeling all these?

Female | 22

The symptoms you pointed out - low energy, lower back pain, stomach ache, joint pain - can be observed even after a kidney infection. It could be the body recovering, thus, the fatigue and the aches. Sometimes, the effects that are left over can last for quite a long time. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a nephrologist for further advice.

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.

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.

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 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.

Male | 25

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. Eating right and regular doctor visits matter a lot.

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'.

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.

Blood urea nitrogen levels can be a sign that the kidneys are not working as expected. This could be caused by various reasons such as dehydration, kidney disease, or certain medications. Common symptoms of kidney malfunctions are lack of energy, swelling, or alterations in the amount and color of urine. See nephrologist for further testing and get the treatment you need soon.

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.

Female | 2

The baby has a condition, hydronephrosis. This is swelling in the kidney from blocked urine flow. It can cause pain, fever, and trouble urinating. Since kidney function decreased, the baby needs more tests like ultrasound or a scan to find the blockage. Treatment may involve a procedure to remove the blockage or medication to improve kidney function. Following the nephrologist's advice for proper care and treatment.

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.

Male | 58

your CT scan report reveals two cysts in the left kidney and one is a larger exophytic cyst classified as Bosniak I it can be explained why less invasive alternatives options are to consider. The second alternative that you described, namely the excision of a tumor (presumably a large cyst) alone while sparing other parts of the kidney. The ultimate decision should be discussed with your urologist or surgeon.

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.

Your symptoms of back pain, urine burning, and general weakness are likely due to the kidney stone. I suggest you to keep on taking Calcury tablets as the BAMS doctor prescribed you. Stay well-hydrated and eat a balanced diet. If these symptoms last or worsen, it's vital to get medical help.

The amount of urine that comes out from my body has increased over a week.

Female | 23

Noticing a drastic change in the output of urine by the body is quite essential. It could imply multiple things. Sometimes the intake of liquids and specific foods will make you pass out more waste from your body. However, if these alterations occur without any clear explanation and are accompanied by frequent thirst, it means that you should visit a nephrologist as soon as possible because it might be an indication of an illness such as diabetes or kidney disease.
