Dialysis patient in one years
Male | 34
For a dialysis patient unwell for a year, it’s important to stay alert to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate the dialysis isn’t working effectively. This can happen due to missed treatments, not taking medications, or poor diet choices. It's essential to consult the dialysis team to address these issues and adjust the treatment plan for better health.

Sometimes when I’m in a certain position and I cough or laugh hard my kidney will have a quick sharp pain. It has happened twice today and I noticed it about a month ago I would say but it’s not often. Should I be concerned about this? It is giving me anxiety.
Female | 18
You may have "referred pain" from kidneys. Sometimes, coughing or laughing hard moves kidneys slightly, causing sharp pain. This could be a kidney stone or muscle strain near the kidney. To ease anxiety, drink water and avoid motions triggering pain. If pain continues or worsens, contact a nephrologist for evaluation.

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.

Kidney stone Left right both
Male | 22
Kidney stones might develop on one side of the body or both. They are similar to small stones that grow in a person's kidney. Signs include urine containing blood, having a problem urinating, and pain in the back or side. Causes may result from not drinking enough water and eating too much salt. To cure this condition, one may need to take a lot of fluid or use particular drugs; in some cases, an operation might be necessary to remove the stones.

My wife is 39 years old suffering from CKD.Her cretanine pevel is 6.4
Female | 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.

Hello (apologies for long post) Caucasian, Male, 60, 6'0", 260 lbs. Meds: Lisinopril 40 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg x2 a day, Amlodipine 10 mg, Furosemide 20 mg, Glimepiride 1 mg, Janumet 50-1000 x 2, Atorvastatin 10 mg...NO drink/smoke or rec. drugs. Issue: After a lot of work, have lost 40+ lbs in last 5-6 years...blood pressure 130/85, A1c 7.0 ...here is the issue. In March of 2023, after years of my GFR staying constant in mid/upper 40's, (not great, but consistent), it was lower at 41. Dr wanted to check it again in 1 month. I very strictly controlled my diet/sugar/protein/soda/increase water intake, etc...take meds religiously...GFR dropped to 35. Dr sent me to a nephrologist, but before the scheduled appointment (which was 6 weeks later), he took me off of Triamterene...said it can be hard on kidneys. When the nephrologist sent me for labs, GFR went UP to 50. Another test 2 weeks later and GFR went up to 55. Nephrologist says that removing Triamterene from regimen played NO part in GFR rising...put me on Spironolactone due to edema returning . 6 months later at next check-up, all numbers and BP continue to be good, but GFR back down to 40. Is it possible that the diuretics have been hard on my kidneys and causing the lower GFR. I understand with years of HBP/diabetes, the GFR is not ideal, but I'd like to keep it in the 50's if possible. Family doctor took me off the Spironolactone and put me on Lasix in March of 2024...bloodwork coming up in a couple of weeks. Family doctor seems to think the diuretics have contributed to lower GFR...Nephrologist says they have nothing to do with my fluctuating GFR numbers... seeking input from anyone here with knowledge/experience...appreciate any insights re: affect of diuretics on GFR...alternatives to traditional diuretics, etc. I've read loop diuretics like Lasix best for kidney issues.
Male | 60
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.

Blood urea nitrogen levels can be a sign that the kidneys are not working as expected. This could be caused by various reasons such as dehydration, kidney disease, or certain medications. Common symptoms of kidney malfunctions are lack of energy, swelling, or alterations in the amount and color of urine. See nephrologist for further testing and get the treatment you need soon.

Female | 34
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.

My father is suffering from CKD stage V now my USG report is showing ADPKD MY question is i recently joined gym for my body transformation fat to fit for that goal i have to eat 2 grams per body weight of protein is it good for my kidney also i want to add creatine supplement can i add that supplement
Male | 24
The function of the kidneys worsens when you eat large amounts of protein, and the kidney problems become more severe. The extremely high rates of creatine supplements can make the kidneys unable to function properly. Before you start any regimen, consult with your doctor to figure out the best approach that is right for your body.

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.
Female | 55
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

I am having hematuria since last night. Iam diagnosed with kidney stone last year.is hematuria due to kidney stone. But I'm not experiencing any pain
Female | 20
Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be concerning. One likely reason is a kidney issue. Even without symptoms, it’s important to find the cause. The three main reasons are infection, a moving stone, or injury. Diagnosis is usually made through tests by a healthcare provider. Treatment varies and can include increased water intake and medications. Talking to a nephrologist is best to understand what’s happening in the body.

hi , what treatment to relieve my dad’s symptom who severe chronic kidney who have symptom blister itch and burst ?
Male | 56
Your dad has tough skin issues; those itchy blisters bursting constantly. It happens when kidneys don't work right, common in severe chronic kidney disease. Poorly functioning kidneys cause such symptoms. To ease the itch and prevent new blisters, keeping skin clean and moisturized is key. Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps, and apply soothing creams. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a nephrologist for evaluation and treatment options.

Kidney stone problam i have 3more stones
Male | 31
A sharp pain in your side might signal kidney stones. Back or abdominal discomfort occurs, too, with pain during urination. Risk factors include dehydration, salty diet choices, and genetic predisposition. Drinking ample water prevents stone formation. Lifestyle adjustments plus medical guidance facilitate the passing of any existing stones bothering you.

A stroke during dialysis can be caused by low blood pressure or the brain not receiving enough oxygen. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to, sudden weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, and confusion. Place the person on the ground, loosen anything too tight, and call for help.

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.

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.

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.
