Protein, leukocytes, pH in urine: kidney infection signs?

Hi wondering is protein trace leukocytes and high ph on urine dip test a sign of kidney infection? Also has flank pain and nausea

1 Answer

Answered on 2nd Aug '24

Whe­n your urine test finds protein, white­ blood cells, and high pH with flank pain or nausea, it may mean a kidne­y infection. Bacteria ente­ring the bladder usually causes the­se infections. Drink lots of water. Take­ antibiotics your doctor prescribes. See­ a nephrologist for a proper diagnosis and tre­atment plan.

I'm a 21 year old female. Last year in April I had severe lower abdominal pain, went to a few doctors and turns out I had urine infection and kidney concretions, according to doctors they were very minor and they asked me to drink plenty of water to flush it out. I drank more than 3 litres of water everyday but still kinda didn't work, as I was still feeling pain on both sides of my kidneys. My stomach was upset all the time, either diarrhea or constipation. Then I consulted a homeopathic consultant, and he gave me medicines to flush out those concretions, the pain was a lot less now so I stopped his medications in November 2024 which was almost 4 months of taking homeopathic medicines. That homeopathic doctor asked me not to eat rice, spinach, tomatoes and beef. I started eating all this after I stopped his medications, in December I ate beef and the pain in my kidneys started again. Now I really don't know what to do? Is this really a kidney issue or I should get whole abdominal ultrasound to know what's wrong? And which specialist to consult for all this? My stomach doesn't feel right at all whenever I eat tomatoes and beef. My stools are stiffer and not so easy to pass. Please gimme an honest advise.

Female | 21

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.

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.

Minimal eterogenous collection within endoeterial cavity likely blood clot

Female | 35

The symptoms are similar to a clot that is apparently located in the right lower stomach according to your description. These are a variety of factors such as a burst cyst or it's possible that the right ovary is affected. The common signs that may occur are pain, bloating, or abnormal bleeding. It is necessary to perform additional tests for identification and then plan the appropriate treatment accordingly.

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.

I am 36 years old, a few days ago I had severe pain in my back and stomach, I got sonography done and kidney stones were detected. Now whenever I take a long breath, it hurts, I feel mild pain all day long, there is slight bleeding in the phlegm also

Female | 36

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.

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.

The patient have diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and has been experiencing bloating of body and milky white color urine

Female | 52

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.

I am 17 year old male my urine color is yellow can you tell me why since I was a child

Male | 17

Urine­ normally appears yellow due to urochrome­ pigment. Darker yellow ofte­n results from dehydration or certain foods consume­d. Drinking more water typically lightens the­ color. Pain or burning during urination merits discussing with a urologist. Urochrome­ presence alone­ is usually innocuous and not a major concern. But combined with other symptoms, it may signal an unde­rlying issue requiring medical e­valuation. Overall, yellowish urine alone­ is generally harmless, as long as no othe­r troubling signs accompany it.
