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.

Firstly, approximately 20 years ago, I experienced a significant shoulder impact while playing football, resulting in a sprain that extends from my neck to the back of my shoulder. Whenever I engage in physical activity, particularly on the injured right shoulder side, I feel a burning sensation accompanied by heat. Additionally, I've noticed that my right hip appears elevated since the injury. In a previous scan, I discovered a left-sided disc prolapse. Moreover, I occasionally experience sprains in the middle of my back. I have not been taking any medications for this issue as previous doctors have been unable to identify the problem. I am concerned about the long-term implications and would greatly appreciate your expertise in evaluating and providing guidance on the appropriate course of action. Are there any specific tests or examinations that you recommend to better understand the underlying causes and potential treatment options for my shoulder, hip, and back issues? Furthermore, I recently discovered that I have kidney stones in both of my kidneys. I do not have diabetes or high blood pressure, and I am not diagnosed with arthritis. Additionally, I have been informed that I have elevated uric acid levels. Considering these multiple health concerns, I am wondering if blood tests or any other diagnostic tests would be beneficial in identifying any potential connections between these issues and guiding the most appropriate treatment plan.

Male | 44

To address your musculoskeletal concerns consult an orthopedic specialist. They would recommend imaging studies, physical therapy, and medications as needed. For your kidney stones and elevated uric acid, seek guidance from a urologist nearest to you or a nephrologist who can perform diagnostic tests. I suggest to follow certain dietary changes, and monitor your kidney health. Open communication with your specialists for a tailored treatment plan for your multiple health concerns.

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'.

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.

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.
