Why is my creatinine level increasing?

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.

Is a cretanine level of 6.4 dangerous at 39?

Your wife is likely to be getting symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, and trouble breathing if the creatinine level is 6.4. This could be from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which is when the kidneys get damaged. To help manage this, she needs to follow a low-salt diet, take the prescribed medications, and possibly undergo dialysis. It's vital to ensure that her condition is stable by doing regular check-ups.

How did a 9mm kidney stone go unnoticed?

Often the second kidney stone might be missed on the first ultrasound. Stones can form in different parts of the kidney and may not all appear at the same time. Symptoms of kidney stones include pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, and discomfort while urinating. Treatment options include drinking a lot of water, medications, or procedures to break the stone. It's crucial to have your nephrologist check you for any additional problems and manage your treatment accordingly.

Am I at risk with kidney stones & pelvicalyceal splitting?

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.

8 Months Unattended Kidney Cyst

Discovering kidney cysts can be frightening, but stay calm—they're usually harmless and symptom-free. However, if you experience back pain, blood in your urine, or high blood pressure, see a nephrologist promptly. They will likely order tests to assess the situation properly. Delaying care for eight months is inadvisable; prompt evaluation ensures your well-being. Though usually benign, ignoring potential issues can lead to complications. With timely check-ups and appropriate treatment, kidney cysts are manageable.

Should I Continue Calcury Tab for Kidney Stone?

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.

Could Diuretics be Impacting My GFR Levels?

Diuretics such as Triamterene may have been responsible for your kidney problems, which in turn may have resulted in the increase or decrease of your GFR. The switch from you to Lasix by your family doctor is a good decision as it is a diuretic that may be less harsh on the kidneys. Continue to collaborate with a nephrologist to discover the optimal treatment for you.

Why Are My Kidneys Failing at 43?

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.
