Q: Can kidney failure cause a heart attack?

Yes, people with kidney failure are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, which can lead to a heart attack. This is partly because kidney failure is associated with a number of cardiovascular risk factors, including: high blood pressure high levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol anemia changes in the heart and blood vessels build-up of toxins and waste products in the blood

Q: How is kidney failure after a heart attack treated?

Treatment for kidney failure after a heart attack may include: Medications to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the kidneys Medications to remove excess fluid from the body Dialysis to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body Kidney transplant

Q: How can kidney failure occur after a heart attack?

A heart attack can cause a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys, which can cause damage to the kidneys and lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) or even chronic kidney disease (CKD) over time. The decreased blood flow can also cause other problems that can indirectly lead to kidney failure, such as changes in electrolyte balance, dehydration, or blood clots in the renal vessels.

Q: What is the risk of kidney failure due to a heart attack?

The risk of kidney failure after a heart attack can vary depending on several factors, such as the extent of the damage to the heart and how well the patient responds to treatment. However, some studies have shown that about 10-20% of patients with myocardial infarction (heart attack) may develop acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI is associated with an increased risk of death.

Q: What causes kidney failure after a heart attack?

Kidney failure after a heart attack is typically caused by reduced blood flow to the kidneys, which can lead to kidney damage and impaired kidney function.

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.

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.

Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description

Male | 30

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.

A level such as this appears to be mildly elevated thereby there could be damage to the kidney. The most common manifestations of kidney calls are fatigue, swelling, and infrequent or abnormal urination. Dehydration, a side effect of taking medications, or kidney disease can be the causes. You should consult a nephrologist for proper treatments.

The test report shows that your right kidney is good. But the left kidney has a bit of trouble. Some damage is there in the outer part of the left kidney. You may not have any problems right now. But you should look for pain or change in urine. To help your left kidney, you should drink lots of water. You should also talk to a nephrologist for more advice soon.

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.

You're feeling pain, and that’s tough. The pain in your left kidney could be due to kidney stones, infections, or muscle strains. If the pain comes and goes, it’s important to get it checked. Drink plenty of water, avoid salty foods, and see a nephrologist soon.

Hi, I have end-stage kidney failure and I've been doing hemodialysis for 4 years now, and I've been worrying about my fistula or how long it is going to last before I get a tube stuck in my neck as an alternative. Today, the bulge on my arm which I assume is the fistula got moved or at least something got moved slightly causing discomfort and a change of shape of the bulge. Is that a cause for concern? It doesn't have redness or pain in the exact place, but I'm worried sick. Can this be fixed by a surgery? Other questions that have been bothering me. How about if it got ruptured? It started to bulge and reddened. Can it still be fixed? Also, let's say my left arm fistula died and I had to use my right arm. Can I still use my left arm for fistula once it's healed in the future? Thank you for your answers in advance, I'm a teenager who got dealt with a bad hand right from the get-go and I wish to know more about my current situation.

Male | 18

It’s understandable to be concerned about changes in your fistula. If you notice any discomfort, change in shape, or other symptoms like redness, it's important to check it. A vascular surgeon can assess your fistula and determine if any intervention is needed. Even if your current fistula fails, it's possible to create a new one in the same arm after healing. This should be evaluated by your doctor. Please consult your nephrologist or a vascular surgeon for a detailed examination and advice.

The patient has had liver cirrhosis since 2012 and also has a kidney stone measuring 20-22 mm. Due to the size of the stone, the kidney has been affected. However, doctors are hesitant to treat the kidney stone due to the liver condition. Could you please provide advice on how to proceed?

Female | 45

A big stone probably means that the kidneys will start producing a lot of blood alongside urine. Besides, those stones can cause blockage of the ureter, thus, enlargement of the kidney. Therefore, risks that come together with a liver consisting should be pointed out and discussed with a nephrologist to take advice that would help the patient handle both liver and kidney problems proficiently.

Often the second kidney stone might be missed on the first ultrasound. Stones can form in different parts of the kidney and may not all appear at the same time. Symptoms of kidney stones include pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, and discomfort while urinating. Treatment options include drinking a lot of water, medications, or procedures to break the stone. It's crucial to have your nephrologist check you for any additional problems and manage your treatment accordingly.

Your symptoms of back pain, urine burning, and general weakness are likely due to the kidney stone. I suggest you to keep on taking Calcury tablets as the BAMS doctor prescribed you. Stay well-hydrated and eat a balanced diet. If these symptoms last or worsen, it's vital to get medical help.

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.

Urine infection; pus cells -8-10, epithelial cells 10-12

Female | 35

Finding pus and epithelial cells in urine could indicate an infection. Symptoms of this condition may include a burning sensation when urinating, having a frequent need to urinate but passing only small amounts of urine, cloudy or strong-smelling urine. This bacterium could have been introduced into the urinary tract by drinking a lot of water or taking antibiotics as prescribed by your nephrologist.

The biopsy results can be interpreted that you may have some changes in your kidneys. The findings suggest that there is a thickening in the walls of some blood vessels and areas of fibrosis. These alterations can be attributed to a condition called xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. This condition is mostly caused by a severe kidney infection. Proper treatment may involve the use of antibiotics and close monitoring of a nephrologist to manage the condition.

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.

According to what you have said, it may be a sign that there is an infection in one or both of the kidneys or even some sort of damage if the protein in your urine is accompanied by other symptoms like fever, backache, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Having protein present within urine isn’t normal at all, especially when taken together with these other signs. So you must see a nephrologist as soon as possible to have this checked out.

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.
