Why is my kidney pain persisting despite treatment?

I'm a 21 year old female. Last year in April I had severe lower abdominal pain, went to a few doctors and turns out I had urine infection and kidney concretions, according to doctors they were very minor and they asked me to drink plenty of water to flush it out. I drank more than 3 litres of water everyday but still kinda didn't work, as I was still feeling pain on both sides of my kidneys. My stomach was upset all the time, either diarrhea or constipation. Then I consulted a homeopathic consultant, and he gave me medicines to flush out those concretions, the pain was a lot less now so I stopped his medications in November 2024 which was almost 4 months of taking homeopathic medicines. That homeopathic doctor asked me not to eat rice, spinach, tomatoes and beef. I started eating all this after I stopped his medications, in December I ate beef and the pain in my kidneys started again. Now I really don't know what to do? Is this really a kidney issue or I should get whole abdominal ultrasound to know what's wrong? And which specialist to consult for all this? My stomach doesn't feel right at all whenever I eat tomatoes and beef. My stools are stiffer and not so easy to pass. Please gimme an honest advise.

Given your history of kidney stones and ongoing discomfort, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. An abdominal ultrasound can provide valuable insights. If certain foods are triggering your symptoms, keep a food diary to identify patterns. You might consider seeing a urologist for kidney-related issues or a gastroenterologist for digestive concerns. Maintaining hydration remains crucial. Remember, seeking timely medical advice can help you find the right approach to manage your health effectively.

ckd progression can stop or slower by taking the medicines

Male | 52

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys don't function properly. Symptoms are fatigue, swollen ankles, and trouble sleeping. CKD can be progressive and it may get worse over time. To delay the effects of the disease you can use the medicines your nephrologist has prescribed. These medications not only help the kidneys but also alleviate the symptoms. It is important to stick to the prescription and follow the right instructions to prevent the drugs from causing more damage to your kidneys.

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 wife is 39 years old suffering from CKD.Her cretanine pevel is 6.4

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.

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.

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.

Herbal Home Treatment for Kidney Stones and Fatty Liver One of the most surprising health benefits attributed to turmeric is the treatment of kidney stones and fatty liver. Turmeric has a compound curcumin which may assist in the disbanding of kidney stones and also reduce inflammation in the liver. However, always, it is your doctor who decides whether you can start a new treatment or not. Also, don't forget to drink more water so the stones will be easily removed.

Hi doctor my name is Nishan mere choti bahan ki age 15 year h osko pathri ki problem h hamne bohot jagah se dwa khilaye h but jada farak ni pda I need help

Female | 15

Stone formation in the kidney can cause pain in the back, groin, or lower abdomen, nausea, and blood in the urine. Insufficient drinking water and particular diet habits can bring about the development of stones. Drinking enough water, not eating foods that are high in oxalates such as spinach, nuts, and chocolate, and getting professional advice are among the key points for further treatment.

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.
