I Have Kidney Stones on Both Sides

Kidney stone Left right both

1 Answer

Dr. Babita Goel

General Physician

Answered on 8th June '24

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.

Is 5g Creatine Safe with Mild Kidney Dysfunction?

Hello, please is Creatine 5g daily for people with just a little bit of kidney dysfunction?

Answered on 7th June '24

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.

Why is my Creatinine Rising with IGA Nephropathy?

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.

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.

Several things might have caused the growth you noticed like a tumor or cyst. So you need to see a nephrologist who can properly evaluate what’s going on with your body and give a treatment plan to help ease these symptoms.

What to do about my mother's kidney cyst?

My mother has kidney cyst problem what should we do?

Answered on 4th June '24

Kidney cysts are comparable to tiny fluid-filled balloons that develop on the kidneys. They are widespread, notably as we grow old. Individuals with kidney cysts display no symptoms and require no treatment. However, if the cysts are painful, infectious, or result in hypertension, your mother needs an experienced nephrologist. In cases where the cysts are problematic, a physician may propose them to be drained off sometimes even surgery might be necessary depending on certain conditions.

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.

Answered on 28th May '24

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.

Answered on 28th May '24

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.

Should I take creatine with high uric acid?

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.

We are extremely sorry for replying late and look up to you for your noble thoughts & causes. As far as donating organs is concerned, in India you would have to take permission from Authorization committee. And if you are below 18 then you would need to have consent of your parents as well. Then you can go to a hospital and consult doctors. If you wish to learn what possible tests you would have to go through for donor-recipient compatibility test, then you can refer this blog - Kidney Transplant cost in India. And this might help you out in terms of finding suitable hospital - Best Kidney Transplant Hospitals in India.

Dialysis, medicines, and managing glucose levels as well as symptoms is the only way she can survive, but kidney failure can't be cured and the prognosis doesn't seems to be good. We hope that she will lead a better life if her symptoms are managed. Approach a nephrologist - Nephrologist in India.
