Your kidneys may not be working properly, leading to high levels of creatinine and urea in your blood. These substances should be filtered out by the kidneys but are staying in your bloodstream, causing symptoms like fatigue, low hemoglobin, vomiting, and abdominal pain. To start feeling better, you may need treatments like dialysis and medications to lower these levels. Renal failure is a serious condition, so it's important to follow a nephrologist's guidance for proper management.

Hi, I have end-stage kidney failure and I've been doing hemodialysis for 4 years now, and I've been worrying about my fistula or how long it is going to last before I get a tube stuck in my neck as an alternative. Today, the bulge on my arm which I assume is the fistula got moved or at least something got moved slightly causing discomfort and a change of shape of the bulge. Is that a cause for concern? It doesn't have redness or pain in the exact place, but I'm worried sick. Can this be fixed by a surgery? Other questions that have been bothering me. How about if it got ruptured? It started to bulge and reddened. Can it still be fixed? Also, let's say my left arm fistula died and I had to use my right arm. Can I still use my left arm for fistula once it's healed in the future? Thank you for your answers in advance, I'm a teenager who got dealt with a bad hand right from the get-go and I wish to know more about my current situation.

It’s understandable to be concerned about changes in your fistula. If you notice any discomfort, change in shape, or other symptoms like redness, it's important to check it. A vascular surgeon can assess your fistula and determine if any intervention is needed. Even if your current fistula fails, it's possible to create a new one in the same arm after healing. This should be evaluated by your doctor. Please consult your nephrologist or a vascular surgeon for a detailed examination and advice.

How many points can my creatinine increase with GFR increase after 30 days with stage 4 ckd eating low phosphorus potassium protein and sodium. I have lost some weight using peddler. In the past 30 days my blood pressure and blood sugar have been stable
Male | 76
This means less creatinine in your system. Lower creatinine is good - it shows less strain. High creatinine brings tiredness, swelling, trouble urinating. Keep tracking your progress carefully. If new worries arise, like changes in how you feel, let your nephrologist know right away.

Creatinine level increase
Male | 26
An increase in creatinine levels in the blood could indicate that your kidneys are not functioning properly. Symptoms are often not present at the beginning of the disease but as it progresses you can experience tiredness and suffer nausea. Common causes are dysfunction of kidneys, dehydration, and certain medicines. To reduce creatinine levels, it is necessary to drink a lot of water, consume a healthy diet, and take medications as prescribed by a nephrologist.

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.

UTIs are no fun, causing burning, frequent urination, and fatigue. They can become tricky after multiple infections. Great your urologist is exploring options. Drinking lots of water, staying clean, and following doctor's orders help.

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.

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.

Male | 21
Your symptoms of back pain, urine burning, and general weakness are likely due to the kidney stone. I suggest you to keep on taking Calcury tablets as the BAMS doctor prescribed you. Stay well-hydrated and eat a balanced diet. If these symptoms last or worsen, it's vital to get medical help.

Urine infection; pus cells -8-10, epithelial cells 10-12
Female | 35
Finding pus and epithelial cells in urine could indicate an infection. Symptoms of this condition may include a burning sensation when urinating, having a frequent need to urinate but passing only small amounts of urine, cloudy or strong-smelling urine. This bacterium could have been introduced into the urinary tract by drinking a lot of water or taking antibiotics as prescribed by your nephrologist.

I took albendezol zentle syrup for two times over a period of 15 days without prescription. Does it shows any effect to my kidneys
Male | 20
You need to have the doctor's consent before using albendazole zentle syrup to keep off the danger since its rogue consumption may not be good for your kidneys. Kidneys may show some of these symptoms of damage: swelling, lack of urine production, and fatigue. This is because the drug is inactive in the liver-forming the kidneys. The session is to come off the syrup and undergo a kidney health examination with the help of a nephrologist.

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.

Kidney stone & mild splitting of pelvicyceal system
Male | 21
The kidney stone is a minuscule pebble-like object that your kidney produces. Rarely, a mild splitting of the pelvicalyceal system, where urine collects in the kidney, maybe the problem. The symptoms may include back or side pains, a bellyache, or pain during urinating. If you drink lots of water, it can be easier for you to pass the stone. If the size of the stone is too large, a nephrologist might need to assist you in getting rid of it.

Female | 24
You could have felt the kidney stones along with a burning/ painful situation during pee. For the larger part, kidneys produce such types of stones that are made up of water, calcium oxalate, and uric acid. Water is the best and first food to flush out these stones, so you should drink a lot of it. If the pain won't go away, visit a nephrologist and go through the advised treatments, if any.

Dr, I was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy 32 years ago. I am 64 years of age and my creatinine is 2.31 and has been hovering around that number. I have lost 124 lbs over the past year with the assistance of Zepbound. My kidneys have not improved and appear to be getting slightly worse. I run 3 miles a day and eat around 1200 calories a day never exceeding my sodium or potassium requirements. I do not have protein or blood in my urine. Please help. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? I am currently In Stage 4 kidney disease. Should I get an updated biopsy since my only biopsy was done in 1992. What can I do? Could the Zepbound be causing my kidneys to worsen? I drink 100 ounces of water daily.
Female | 64
It is concerning that your creatinine levels are rising despite your efforts. IGA nephropathy can progress slowly over time, and factors like age, diet, and medications may influence kidney function. Zepbound's impact on your kidneys should be evaluated by a specialist. I strongly advise you to consult a nephrologist for a thorough assessment and consider getting an updated biopsy to understand the current state of your kidney disease.

I am a kidney patient GFR61 and creatinine 1.08 level CKD stage 2 now Can my kidney function improve and can my kidneys get cured completely and recover without any side effects and without any further damage by Homeopathic medicines and treatment faster
Female | 70
In CKD stage 2, the kidney function is low and can be controlled. Homeopathy may relieve symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and high blood pressure. Still, full cure and recovery without side effects are not a warranty. To keep your kidneys safe, drink water, eat a healthy diet, and take your doctor's advice.
