Questions & Answers on "Nephrology Icu" (134)

I am a 64 year old female who was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy in 1992. I am now Stage 4. My creatinine hovers around 2.38 and my GFR is 23. I do not have protein spillage or blood in my urine. I have lost 124 lbs over the last 12 months with the assistance of Zepbound? Please help me understand what is causing my Creatinine to continue to rise? Could the Zepbound be causing this? I eat 1200 calories a day and stay within my sodium and potassium goals. I run 3 miles a day. But my kidneys are continuing to worsen. Please help me understand what else I can do. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? Should I get another kidney biopsy since my last biopsy was 32 years ago? Thank you so much for your help.

Female | 64

Considering your circumstance with IGA nephropathy, it is usual that creatinine levels may increase as kidney functions get worse. Also, rapid weight loss may affect kidney function. It is good that you are committed to eating right and exercising, but running 3 miles every day could strain your kidneys more. You should talk about these worries with a nephrologist. A further kidney biopsy might be able to tell what is happening to your kidneys now.

Stone formation in the kidney can cause pain in the back, groin, or lower abdomen, nausea, and blood in the urine. Insufficient drinking water and particular diet habits can bring about the development of stones. Drinking enough water, not eating foods that are high in oxalates such as spinach, nuts, and chocolate, and getting professional advice are among the key points for further treatment.

I'm Phil. It's been 12 days since I passed my 4mm kidney stone, and the pain has not gone away. I've had abdominal pain for the last month, sometimes around the bladder, right kidney, left kidney, and recently higher in the chest (on a pain scale of 2/10 to 6/10). It's always been on/off at random times throughout the day, but in the past week it's getting worse/more noticeable/more frequent. I think it temporarily goes away after I eat. I took a new CT urogram and my urologist says nothing is wrong with anything in my urinary tract. No more stones, no infection in my urine test, no swelling anywhere. I just started the antibiotic Bactrim, and extra strength Tylenol just kinda works. Ever since I got diagnosed with a kidney stone, I've been drinking tons of water, maybe 3L/day, and my diet is now low sugar/low salt/low oxalates/low caffeine, and I've lost like 5 lbs. My doctor and reddit threads say it's residual pain, but it should've left after 1-2 days. What could be causing this pain?

It sounds like you're experiencing persistent discomfort after passing your kidney stone. This residual pain can sometimes linger as underlying muscle spasms or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your recent CT scan and urine tests came back normal, it’s not likely an infection or stones. The changes in your diet and hydration are excellent steps. Continue monitoring your symptoms, and consider discussing your pain management options with the nephrologist. If the discomfort worsens or other symptoms develop, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice.
