General Physician
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.

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.

Male | 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.

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.

I am a 64 year old female who was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy in 1992. I am now Stage 4. My creatinine hovers around 2.38 and my GFR is 23. I do not have protein spillage or blood in my urine. I have lost 124 lbs over the last 12 months with the assistance of Zepbound? Please help me understand what is causing my Creatinine to continue to rise? Could the Zepbound be causing this? I eat 1200 calories a day and stay within my sodium and potassium goals. I run 3 miles a day. But my kidneys are continuing to worsen. Please help me understand what else I can do. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? Should I get another kidney biopsy since my last biopsy was 32 years ago? Thank you so much for your help.
Female | 64
Considering your circumstance with IGA nephropathy, it is usual that creatinine levels may increase as kidney functions get worse. Also, rapid weight loss may affect kidney function. It is good that you are committed to eating right and exercising, but running 3 miles every day could strain your kidneys more. You should talk about these worries with a nephrologist. A further kidney biopsy might be able to tell what is happening to your kidneys now.

The purpose of dialysis is to substitute the function of the kidneys when they fail to perform their job properly. Nausea and vomiting could be due to her current state of health. To boost her health, besides the medical team's directives, taking medications regularly, and eating a balanced diet are also necessary. A kidney transplant might be a possible alternative in the future, but it is the best option for her doctor to make the decision.

A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.
