Why is my kidney pain persisting despite treatment?
Given your history of kidney stones and ongoing discomfort, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. An abdominal ultrasound can provide valuable insights. If certain foods are triggering your symptoms, keep a food diary to identify patterns. You might consider seeing a urologist for kidney-related issues or a gastroenterologist for digestive concerns. Maintaining hydration remains crucial. Remember, seeking timely medical advice can help you find the right approach to manage your health effectively.

Experiencing Kidney Stone Pain Standing? Recurring Issue?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to kidney stones, such as discomfort particularly when standing. This pain could arise from stones moving within the urinary tract. While previous treatment may have provided relief, stones can recur. Staying well-hydrated can help, as it may facilitate stone passage. Incorporating a balanced diet low in sodium and oxalates may also be beneficial. However, for persistent pain or if symptoms worsen, I recommend consulting a nephrologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

Why do I have back pain, kidney stones, bleeding phlegm?
The back and abdominal discomfort you’re experiencing could be associated with kidney stones, which may also lead to irritation. The pain while breathing, along with blood in your phlegm, suggests a need for further evaluation. These signs, while often manageable, should not be overlooked. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment. Staying hydrated and avoiding strenuous activity can be beneficial in the meantime.

Why is my body bloated with milky urine?
Unpleasantly, finding swelling and discolored urine can be scary, mostly with continuing kidney disease. The blame for fluid retention or alteration of kidney tasks can be the reason for these symptoms. It’s very important, therefore, to always take enough fluid, be moderate salt, and eat a balanced diet. In connection with what has been noted above, it must be emphasized that other ALDs should be taken into consideration and the need for closer scrutiny must be communicated to your healthcare provider.

Which tablets treat kidney stones effectively?
Kidney stones may cause a distress signal, mostly that of severe, sharp back or side, nausea, and changes in urination. This is when some substances in your urine are forced together to create something solid. The easiest way to prevent this disease is to drink plenty of water, stay away from salt, and handle dietary calcium. Furthermore, by using over-the-counter painkillers, such as ibuprofen, you may be able to relieve temporary pain. despite all you should consult a nephrologist for the proper treatment.

Why is my creatinine 7.7 after 2 dialysis sessions?
A 7.7 creatinine level presents a great possibility of kidney damage. or even malfunction even after two dialyze sessions. Symptoms can be a feeling of fatigue, swelling, or urination changes. Chronic kidney disease and possible complications of existing medical conditions are the most common causes. You must tell any symptoms you have to your healthcare provider, and who will be able to adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Ongoing sessions of dialysis and other tests may provide clues as to the root causes of the disease. Please visit a nephrologist for a proper evaluation and personalized recommendations, as they are the most suitable persons to take care of you.

Am I at risk with ESRD and hypertension?
When you have ESRD, your kidneys do not work well. Although dialysis is working for you, high blood pressure may cause more difficulties. Be on the lookout for signs like being tired, swollen body parts and/or having trouble breathing. Do not stop taking your hypertension drugs; also follow a diet that is good for the kidneys plus keep being active.

Why is my urine milky with bubbles?
It looks as though your signs may have something to do with some different reasons, like dehydration or what you are eating. Bubbles can indicate space in the urine or low protein levels that usually go with fluids. If it's not the color, but it's the clarity, then the urine looks suspicious. Dark urine, cloudiness, and substances like milk suggest problems with the urinary system. Yay to the clear points from the CT scan and urine culture, but just to be on the safe side, I would advise a follow-up visit to a urologist.

Why does my mother experience fluctuating creatinine levels?
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

Why do my high creatinine levels remain unchanged?
High creatinine levels and protein leaking into your urine are signs of kidney disease. If you combine these symptoms with the medication you have been prescribed for hypertension it could mean that what you are suffering from is called ‘proteinuria’ which affects only the kidneys. Make sure to see a nephrologist who can examine them further. They will be able to advise on how best this should be treated according to your condition.
