Questions & Answers on "Nephrologyy" (101)

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.

My father is suffering from CKD stage V now my USG report is showing ADPKD MY question is i recently joined gym for my body transformation fat to fit for that goal i have to eat 2 grams per body weight of protein is it good for my kidney also i want to add creatine supplement can i add that supplement

Male | 24

The function of the kidneys worsens when you eat large amounts of protein, and the kidney problems become more severe. The extremely high rates of creatine supplements can make the kidneys unable to function properly. Before you start any regimen, consult with your doctor to figure out the best approach that is right for your body.

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.

medullary definition is maintained. Right kidney measures 10.2 X 3.5 cms. KIDNEY: Both kidneys are normal in size, shape, position and axis. Homogenous normal echogenecity is seen bilaterally. The cortico Left kidney measures 10.3 X 3.6 cms. Splitting of central echoes is seen in right kidney. No calculus is seen. URETERS: Right upper ureter is dilated. However, obstructive lesion could not be visualised. VESCICO URETERAL JUNCTIONS: Both vescico ureteral junctions are normal. URINARY BLADDER: The urinary bladder is well distended. Its wall is not thickened. No intraluminal echogenic areas are seen. The prevoid volume measures 100 ml. Sonography report IMPRESSION: Findings suggestive of right sided hydronephrosis and right upper hydroureter. However, obstructive lesion could not be visualised. Follow up and further investigations are suggested to confirm the above findings.

Female | 20

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.

Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description

Male | 30

A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.

Dialysis patient in one years

Male | 34

For a dialysis patient unwell for a year, it’s important to stay alert to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate the dialysis isn’t working effectively. This can happen due to missed treatments, not taking medications, or poor diet choices. It's essential to consult the dialysis team to address these issues and adjust the treatment plan for better health.

Wo falnt UPT eve status possibility of ruptured right adnexal estopie needs to be considered unless proven othervise. DVD rupture hemorthagic cyst. Minimal eterogenous collection within endoeterial cavity likely blood clot

Female | 35

The symptoms are similar to a clot that is apparently located in the right lower stomach according to your description. These are a variety of factors such as a burst cyst or it's possible that the right ovary is affected. The common signs that may occur are pain, bloating, or abnormal bleeding. It is necessary to perform additional tests for identification and then plan the appropriate treatment accordingly.

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.

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.
