Hello, please is Creatine 5g daily for people with just a little bit of kidney dysfunction?
Male | 21
If you have kidney trouble, be careful about taking 5g of creatine per day. These conditions could get worse if you do. Some signs that your kidneys may not be working properly are tiredness, swelling (particularly around the ankles), and difficulty falling asleep at night. Before starting any new supplements, it is important to talk with a nephrologist first.

The amount of urine that comes out from my body has increased over a week.
Female | 23
Noticing a drastic change in the output of urine by the body is quite essential. It could imply multiple things. Sometimes the intake of liquids and specific foods will make you pass out more waste from your body. However, if these alterations occur without any clear explanation and are accompanied by frequent thirst, it means that you should visit a nephrologist as soon as possible because it might be an indication of an illness such as diabetes or kidney disease.

How many points can my creatinine increase with GFR increase after 30 days with stage 4 ckd eating low phosphorus potassium protein and sodium. I have lost some weight using peddler. In the past 30 days my blood pressure and blood sugar have been stable
Male | 76
This means less creatinine in your system. Lower creatinine is good - it shows less strain. High creatinine brings tiredness, swelling, trouble urinating. Keep tracking your progress carefully. If new worries arise, like changes in how you feel, let your nephrologist know right away.

Hi wondering is protein trace leukocytes and high ph on urine dip test a sign of kidney infection? Also has flank pain and nausea
Female | 17
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.

Cardiac or diabetes and issues is proteinurea
Male | 67
If someone is having problems with their heart or diabetes and is also having protein in their urine, this may mean there could be damage to the kidneys. The signs of this illness are the puffiness of the body, the appearance of bubble-like urine, and the presence of hypertension. This can be caused by increased sugar levels or high blood pressure in the blood. Eat healthy, control your blood sugar, and take medication as directed.

2 kidney fell in 4 yers dayalisis ready
Female | 36
In cases like these, a person may need dialysis, to have their blood cleansified. This is possible when the kidneys are not functioning completely or are too weak. Some of the signs of the problem are a person being very tired, joints getting painful, and having the same problems with urination. It is a great point for them to visit a nephrologist to get the correct treatment.

medullary definition is maintained. Right kidney measures 10.2 X 3.5 cms. KIDNEY: Both kidneys are normal in size, shape, position and axis. Homogenous normal echogenecity is seen bilaterally. The cortico Left kidney measures 10.3 X 3.6 cms. Splitting of central echoes is seen in right kidney. No calculus is seen. URETERS: Right upper ureter is dilated. However, obstructive lesion could not be visualised. VESCICO URETERAL JUNCTIONS: Both vescico ureteral junctions are normal. URINARY BLADDER: The urinary bladder is well distended. Its wall is not thickened. No intraluminal echogenic areas are seen. The prevoid volume measures 100 ml. Sonography report IMPRESSION: Findings suggestive of right sided hydronephrosis and right upper hydroureter. However, obstructive lesion could not be visualised. Follow up and further investigations are suggested to confirm the above findings.
Female | 20
The report suggests, however, that there seems to be a little issue with the right kidney and ureter. The right kidney is a little bit swollen (hydronephrosis) with fluid which is also a bit widened (hydroureter) in the upper ureter. This may be caused by something blocking the urine from the kidney to the bladder. The positive thing is, there are no stones that are causing the blockage. Further tests will help us in this matter, to know what's the cause of the problem. It's vital to do the follow-up tests, to find out exactly what's happening, and to get the proper treatment.

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.

Is nic showing on a bloodtest
Female | 17
When getting a blood test, it may show if someone has too much 'NIC' in their system. This happens when people eat too many things with salt or if their kidneys are not working well. If you feel thirsty and tired all the time, or if your feet and legs swell up - those could be signs that something is wrong because of too much 'NIC'.

My WNC in urine is elevated to 250. What is the cause and treatment?
Female | 49
If your urine has many white blood cells or "WNC," it signifies a urinary tract infection. Peeing may cause pain, and you might feel an urge to pee frequently with cloudy urine. Drinking lots of water helps, but antibiotics from a nephrologist are needed to cure the infection.

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.

what is creatine in kidney? My creatine is found 2.5. What to do now? I have not understood. Is it dangerous for my kidney? Please guide me.
Female | 42
Creatine is produced by the body and generally excreted by the kidneys. A creatinine level over 2.5 can indicate kidney dysfunction. Symptoms may include fatigue or swelling. Conditions such as hypertension or diabetes can lead to this problem. To support your kidneys, ensure sufficient hydration, consume nutritious meals, and adhere to medical advice.

11 days ago I transplant kidney but urine follows very slow. Kidney are ok but kidney under one Mali light damage this is recovery possible
Male | 53
Slow urine flow often follows kidney transplants. The surgery or swelling may slightly harm and constrict the flow. Consume lots of fluids, which aids in smooth drainage. Usually, this issue resolves naturally during recovery. However, if the problem persists, visit a nephrologist.

Hello sir/mam, i have pain over left side abdomen from last 3 days, severe in morning and subsides as the day passes, fever, no burning sensation. Xray KUB is normal, Usg shows small renal cortical cyst and tiny calcific foci, features suggestive of pyelonephritis. Dr. gave me IV ceftriaxone for 10 days. Pain is still there after 2 days of treatment.What should i do for the cortical cyst ?
Male | 25
You have been experiencing pain in your left abdomen and have undergone treatment for pyelonephritis. An imaging scan showed that a small renal cyst slightly off the cortex in the kidney is the possible cause of some of your symptoms. Briefly, such cysts are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they grow or cause symptoms. In your situation, please continue to receive the necessary treatment for the infection, and they will also check the cyst to be sure it is not causing any inconvenience.

Male | 52
CKD patients with constantly rising levels of creatinine are a concern that can cause fear. This could be the case of some factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or even medication problems. It is vital to strictly adhere to the nephrologist's advice, adopt a strict kidney-friendly diet, control blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and drink enough water. Your nephrologist may require you to change your medications or suggest dialysis.

You have burning, stinging, and spasms that are hard to bear. There are times when kidney stones can cause pain even when they are little. Drinking a lot of water can help get rid of them. Painkillers may be beneficial as well. If it persists or worsens, contact your nephrologist again.

These health issues you have might be due to lessened kidney functionality. One of the causes might be chronic kidney disease. Visit your healthcare provider to talk to him about the treatment plan, and what measures can be taken before there is a need for the intervention. A nephrologist is capable of controlling your disease.

Your kidneys are having trouble. A creatinine level of 7.54 is too high. This means they aren't functioning properly. You may feel tired, puffy, or notice changes in how you pee.
