Questions & Answers on "Hemodialysis" (122)
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.

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.

Nephrologist consultation
Male | 60
Usual circumstances that necessitate a visit to a nephrologist are issues like high blood pressure or chronic urinary tract infections, which may eventually attack the kidneys. Upon your visit to the nephrologist, the doctor will examine a few tests to see how your kidneys are functioning and then give the best treatment plan to you based on the findings.

Female | 13
Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) is a rare genetic disease affecting the eyes. Sometimes, it can also cause kidney issues. There's no therapy yet to cure LCA-affected kidneys. Talk to your daughter's doctor to manage her kidney health. They'll help with the right treatment plan.

I am 31 female right kidney not functioning
Female | 31
The right kidney of your body that is not properly functioning will show you the symptoms of back pain, and pain in your side, and you may feel sick and have trouble peeing. This happens because of infections, or diseases that cause the kidneys to swell and stone obstruction. Surgery is sometimes required. Medical remedies are required. Consult a nephrologist for further opinion.

I'm a 21 year old female. Last year in April I had severe lower abdominal pain, went to a few doctors and turns out I had urine infection and kidney concretions, according to doctors they were very minor and they asked me to drink plenty of water to flush it out. I drank more than 3 litres of water everyday but still kinda didn't work, as I was still feeling pain on both sides of my kidneys. My stomach was upset all the time, either diarrhea or constipation. Then I consulted a homeopathic consultant, and he gave me medicines to flush out those concretions, the pain was a lot less now so I stopped his medications in November 2024 which was almost 4 months of taking homeopathic medicines. That homeopathic doctor asked me not to eat rice, spinach, tomatoes and beef. I started eating all this after I stopped his medications, in December I ate beef and the pain in my kidneys started again. Now I really don't know what to do? Is this really a kidney issue or I should get whole abdominal ultrasound to know what's wrong? And which specialist to consult for all this? My stomach doesn't feel right at all whenever I eat tomatoes and beef. My stools are stiffer and not so easy to pass. Please gimme an honest advise.

Given your history of kidney stones and ongoing discomfort, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. An abdominal ultrasound can provide valuable insights. If certain foods are triggering your symptoms, keep a food diary to identify patterns. You might consider seeing a urologist for kidney-related issues or a gastroenterologist for digestive concerns. Maintaining hydration remains crucial. Remember, seeking timely medical advice can help you find the right approach to manage your health effectively.
