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.

I m in great problem. Pelvicalyceal system of left kidney is collaspsed calculas at right uretero-vesical junction, resulting obstructive uropathy (size : 4.9 mm) Small calculus within mid polar calyceal complex of right kidney (size : 8.0 mm) Right adrenal lipoma (size : 25.9 mm) and left side testis pain too.
Male | 41
The obstruction in the ureter which is causing the kidney stones can be the reason for the symptoms like pain while urinating, the presence of blood in the urine, or discomfort in the back. Furthermore, the small stone in your right kidney can result in pain as well. On the other hand, the lipoma in your right adrenal gland most probably doesn't cause any symptoms. Testis pain is a symptom that can indicate several different issues. You should consult a nephrologist for the best course of treatment.

This could be due to several factors, like kidney issues or stress affecting the kidneys, causing temporary foamy urine. High triglycerides and STPT levels also need attention. Consulting a nephrologist will help you get the right assessment and advice.

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.

I've test kidney function test all the parameters are in normal range except uric acid that is 7.9 mg/dl, and I want to take creatine supplement should i take it. (And before KFT test I had have ate fish and high purine food).
Male | 20
Your UA climb was up to 7.9mg/dl and you are considering using creatine. With higher UA comes greater chances for gout, a condition marked by pain and swelling in the joints. You should not take any creatine supplement right now while still eating fish and other high-purine foods since this would elevate your UA even further. To help decrease its level, stick with those things lower in purines.

Pain in urine and also in kidney and some thick white paste in urine
Female | 22
You may have pain when peeing, discomfort near your kidneys, and thick white discharge in your urine. These are signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a kidney infection caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Drinking plenty of water, taking antibiotics prescribed by a doctor, and resting can help improve your condition. However, it is essential to visit a nephrologist for a proper diagnosis and the right treatment.

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.

Can I take creatine if I have kidney stone?
Male | 23
Having a kidney stone might mean creatine isn't safe. Kidney stones can cause your back or side - and sometimes your belly - to hurt. They're normally a group of minerals or salts stuck together in the kidneys. By taking creatine, you could potentially make kidney stones more painful because it adds stress to your kidneys. Get advice from a nephrologist before starting creatine if you have kidney stones.

Male | 66
When you have ESRD, your kidneys do not work well. Although dialysis is working for you, high blood pressure may cause more difficulties. Be on the lookout for signs like being tired, swollen body parts and/or having trouble breathing. Do not stop taking your hypertension drugs; also follow a diet that is good for the kidneys plus keep being active.

Kidney stone & mild splitting of pelvicyceal system
Male | 21
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.

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.

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.

The foamy pee, burning when you pee, and constant back pain could mean a kidney issue. High creatinine level signifies kidney troubles.
