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.

रक्त परीक्षण कराते समय, यह पता चल सकता है कि किसी के सिस्टम में बहुत अधिक 'एनआईसी' है या नहीं। ऐसा तब होता है जब लोग नमक के साथ बहुत अधिक चीजें खाते हैं या फिर उनकी किडनी ठीक से काम नहीं करती है। यदि आपको हर समय प्यास और थकान महसूस होती है, या यदि आपके पैर और टांगें सूज जाती हैं - तो ये संकेत हो सकते हैं कि बहुत अधिक 'एनआईसी' के कारण कुछ गड़बड़ है।

The report suggests, however, that there seems to be a little issue with the right kidney and ureter. The right kidney is a little bit swollen (hydronephrosis) with fluid which is also a bit widened (hydroureter) in the upper ureter. This may be caused by something blocking the urine from the kidney to the bladder. The positive thing is, there are no stones that are causing the blockage. Further tests will help us in this matter, to know what's the cause of the problem. It's vital to do the follow-up tests, to find out exactly what's happening, and to get the proper treatment.

Hello sir/mam, i have pain over left side abdomen from last 3 days, severe in morning and subsides as the day passes, fever, no burning sensation. Xray KUB is normal, Usg shows small renal cortical cyst and tiny calcific foci, features suggestive of pyelonephritis. Dr. gave me IV ceftriaxone for 10 days. Pain is still there after 2 days of treatment.What should i do for the cortical cyst ?

Male | 25

You have been experiencing pain in your left abdomen and have undergone treatment for pyelonephritis. An imaging scan showed that a small renal cyst slightly off the cortex in the kidney is the possible cause of some of your symptoms. Briefly, such cysts are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they grow or cause symptoms. In your situation, please continue to receive the necessary treatment for the infection, and they will also check the cyst to be sure it is not causing any inconvenience.

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.

Hi I have a kidney cyst and it's been 8 months since I attended to it is this really not good or what should I do I'm scared

Female | 33

Discovering kidney cysts can be frightening, but stay calm—they're usually harmless and symptom-free. However, if you experience back pain, blood in your urine, or high blood pressure, see a nephrologist promptly. They will likely order tests to assess the situation properly. Delaying care for eight months is inadvisable; prompt evaluation ensures your well-being. Though usually benign, ignoring potential issues can lead to complications. With timely check-ups and appropriate treatment, kidney cysts are manageable.
