diabetes and renal failure proteinuria

Renal cortical thinning is usually indicative of chronic renal failure as opposed to acute renal failure. The high white cell count and increased counts in the urine indicate an infection. So, to sum up the results show findings of chronic renal failure with hypoalbuminemia and probably an infection. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hi, How are you? The presence of protein in urine (proteinuria) is due to failure of kidney to filter the body fluids. This can occur due to infections to the kidney, hypertension, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, nephrotic syndrome etc. Although a single measure of protein in a urine sample has less significance. I would suggest that you get a 24 hour urine collection and estimation of protein in that. This is a reliable method to assess the condition.

anorexia, nausea, and vomiting can occur, frequently followed by polyuria, polydipsia, weakness, insomnia, nervousness, pruritus, and, ultimately, renal failure.

Before I wised up and learned that spelt was simply just a non-hybrid and natural form of wheat and that it still has gluten in it, I would go to make some toast with this spelt bread. Before I ever got the butter on it, the cat was trying to take the bread away from me. And, she usually has much better manners than that. I noticed that I wasn't stopping at one or two slices of this bread myself. I wised up and didn't buy any more of it.

Additional diagnostic tests such as glomerular filtration rate, renal ultrasound, and possible intravenous urography and serological screening for autoantibodies and complement level. Hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.

However, it may be severe enough to cause (as well as be caused by) renal tubular acidosis or even end stage renal failure, due to disruption of the renal tissue by the deposited calcium) are reported, and proteinuria (the presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine.

When kidneys are damaged protein / albumin is excreted. The higher the protein in mg the faster the progression to End stage renal failure in some Kindey disease. Some Kidney diseases do not excrete protein but still continune to end stage renal failure. You would need a biopsy to see if you carry a kidney disease that is not related to diabetes or high blood pressure. Some of these are FSGS, MCD and PKD. There are many support group forums for Kidney disease.

It is possible to have acute renal failure and still have normal-sized kidneys. Renal atrophy may result from chronic renal disease or infection, as well as other conditions such as narrowing of renal arteries or obstruction of urinary tract.

Hi, I was diagnosed with severe fsgs in 96 when I was 15 and have Been in clinical remission for 11 years, and leak no protein whatsoever ... I know and as my renal consultant states I have won the lottery when it comes to my recovery.I'm now 29 years old and had asked about starting a family & I was advised not too ... Feel very confused as I read about fsgs patients who do go on to have a family and they leak protein ...

They biopsied this kidney today and was told that it was diabetic decline and he is on the path to renal failure. Told that there is nothing more they can do. They are sending him home and now what happens???? Is there a time frame to all this??? He is in a hospital about 3 hours away and I just don't know what to do. Thank God again, he has 2 daughters that live near the hospital so he can stay there as long as necessary.

Hi, I have kidney failure do to diabetes. What kinds of foods or supplements will help or hurt my kidneys? I've heard that co q10 is benefical. Any help would be beneficial!

This is accompanied by a foamy urine which could be due to proteinuria. Diabetes can affect the kidneys and cause nephropathy. The earliest indication of this is microalbimnuria. The hyperglycemia produces increased matrix production and thickening of the of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). This causes the nephropathy. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation. Now when you meet your doctor the following tests may need to be done.

I have been a Type II diabetic for 9 years. Please checkout the following website. It has very good info on diabetes, renal problems and diet. http://www.diabitieslife.com/diabetes/type-2-diabetes/treating/type-2-diabetes-diet-renal.htm I will share with you a problem I had with increasing BUN & creatine. I was consuming to much protein including meats. I also was taking daily naprosyn (Aleve) for an arthretic knee.

I am a 70 year old man and I was admitted into the hospital March 28 because I was in renal failure. At that time my BUNN was 123, Creatinine 5.98 and GFR 8. Meanwhile as you can see from results below, it wasn't the only this wrong. They said it was acute renal failure and I should just be patient for numbers to get better. Here are all of my results now and not one doctor can give me answers as to why this is all happening .

But my fathers dog is 8 1/2 years old terrier mix Chancho was diagnosed with diabetes today and renal failure. I do not know the numbers of his test, but prior to being diagnosed he was real lathrgic vomiting urinating and popping in the house it was uncontrollable. Today when my father took him to the vet he couldn't walk, vet gave him iv for being dehydrated, anti nausea shot, insulin and antibiotics. Said he will re test him in 2 days sent him home with antibiotic and insulin.

In an additional 33 patients, glomerular and tubular NEP protein levels from renal graft biopsies were significantly higher among the 13 patients receiving cyclosporine + EC-MPS than among the 12 patients receiving cyclosporine + azathioprine or 8 patients receiving cyclosporine alone. Glomerular NEP expression inversely correlated with glomerulosclerosis and proteinuria, and tubular NEP expression inversely correlated with interstitial fibrosis.

What exactly are the abnormal lab values that have lead to the diagnosis of MGUS and Proteinuria? Lab indicators of too much protein in blood and urine? If I am understanding correctly, they have no symptoms (other than possible tingling/numbness with MGUS), are not generally serious conditions, and are found quite secondarily of other lab tests. When you say, "...have felt like everyone else", do you mean muscle/bone pain, fatigue, and never feeling well again?

NO red meat, milk, cheeses, etc, etc.. eat lots of fruits and veggies, and DRINK water and cranberry juice alot..

thank you

Hi All, I would really appreciate if some one could take time to shred some light on the condition that my mother is going through. She has been lately diagonosed with diabetes and is on medication currently. She has been developing rash on her neck and face. Also, complaining about her eyes itching.

All other levels (albumin, creatinine, etc.) are normal. Just in case, I had a renal ultrasound done 6 months ago and it appears all kidney structures are normal. I'm considering trying to get pregnant in the next year and my physician suggests that I see a nephrologist to be on the safe side. Is it important that I find a nephrologist who specializes in obstetrics or should this a situation most nephrologists would be well versed in?

ve noticed weight loss and decreased appetite. Diabetes may make them hungrier than usual and kidney disease causes the opposite.

I also had a Renal Ultra Sound and the results came back normal. Oh, and my type 2 diabetes is under control and has been for quite some time. My latest A1C was 5.4. My question is if anyone on this board can relate to my problems and pain. And also if anyone has any insight on my test results. I'm not sure if these results are considered very high or not. My primary doctor said they were but he does seem to over-react at times. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank You all.
