The patient has had liver cirrhosis since 2012 and also has a kidney stone measuring 20-22 mm. Due to the size of the stone, the kidney has been affected. However, doctors are hesitant to treat the kidney stone due to the liver condition. Could you please provide advice on how to proceed?

Female | 45

A big stone probably means that the kidneys will start producing a lot of blood alongside urine. Besides, those stones can cause blockage of the ureter, thus, enlargement of the kidney. Therefore, risks that come together with a liver consisting should be pointed out and discussed with a nephrologist to take advice that would help the patient handle both liver and kidney problems proficiently.

Be careful with the apple cider vinegar if you have a history of kidney issues. A few drops a day may be safe, but excessive consumption could aggravate the kidney condition. To be safe, think of discussing your kidney health with a nephrologist who can give you individualized recommendations.

My mother is a chronic kidney disease patient, with creatinine levels fluctuating between 3 and 5.5. Her feet swell if she consumes raw salt directly, but the swelling only occurs in one foot at a time. Her hemoglobin levels are stable. Occasionally, she experiences electrolyte imbalances, which happen about once a year. She also faces recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Her blood pressure is 130/85, but during winter, it can rise to 190/100, although this happens for a maximum of 1-2 days.

Your mother's creatinine levels indicate that her kidney operation needs to be carefully managed. If feet are swollen, especially after salt intake, say 'fluid retention', which can be seen in kidney disease, is the main problem. Hemoglobin, which varies, is a good sign, but her history of urinary infections and occasional electrolyte issues necessitates deeper examination. The temporary increases in blood pressure might be caused by stress or other environmental factors. It is essential to watch her diet, reduce salt intake, and hydrate properly. I suggest scheduling regular check-ups with a nephrologist to explain her condition and regulate medication with a healthcare professional who can provide customized care

Kidney stones cause concern about creatine use during workouts. Creatine may strain kidneys, so if you have kidney stones, discuss supplements with a nephrologist first.
