Avatar m tn Just wanting to know what I can do to improve the kidney function or at least slow the progression of the disease. I have an appt. with a kidney dr. but not for a month yet. Would appreciate all input and your experiences with this. GFR 38 and creatinine 1.4.
Avatar f tn Cr exceeds 20, this is predictive of prerenal injury (kidney disease caused by change in the blood supply to the kidney). Kidney disease or blockage of the flow of urine from your kidney causes both BUN and creatinine levels to rise. The stages of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) are mainly based on measured or estimated GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). There are five stages but kidney function is normal in Stage 1, and minimally reduced in Stage 2.
Avatar f tn It was difficult at first to regulate my glucose and other effects but evenutally I was able to control the disease- my glucose levels, eating on time and medicine intake. However, I was diagnosed with hypertension recently and on medication for it. As I got older, my symptoms changed as well, whether it was signs of low or high gluscose, energy levels etc. I plan on discussing this with my doctor.
Avatar f tn TIRED ALL THE TIME HAD 2 MRI SCANS FOUND BLOOD CLOTS AND LESIONS BUT SAY NOT TOO WORRYING..SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS....CK LEVELS WERE LOW BUT NOW BORDERING NORMAL..GLUCOSE IS HIGH...HAVE HAD A LOT OF KIDNEY INFECTIONS......DO YOU THINK THIS IS MS.....
Avatar f tn Medicine is not my fileld, within my knowledge ,and as have had type2 , I I could give simple answer. If have high glucose in blood, kidney works more than normal person ,to remove waste from blood, including waste from fat if get energy without insulin . If have diabetes, unwanted fat into blood and liver, then damage the heart slowly.
Avatar n tn Uncontrolled high glucose [blood sugar] can lead to severe complications. You husband is currently exhibiting danger signs, others to follow if ignored and left untreated are: * Blindness * Heart and blood vessel disease (known medically as cardiovascular disease) * Heart attacks * Stroke * Kidney failure * Amputations * Nerve damage "We are truck drivers and out here it is difficult to eat properly.
Avatar n tn First off, congrats on stopping the beer guzzling and I'm glad you posted. Your glucose levels indicate you are pre-diabetic. If your fasting glucose level is 100 to 125 mg/dL, you have a form of pre-diabetes called impaired fasting glucose (IFG), meaning that you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes but do not have it yet. A level of 126 mg/dL or above means that you have diabetes.
Avatar m tn It is known that diabetic complications occur with a1c over 5 and risk of other conditions like vascular disease, eye disease, kidney disease, all increase exponentially as a1c rises above 5. Better to target as close to normal as one can. With modern knowledge and tools and a1c in the 5s is possible for many people.

Avatar n tn Persistently high blood sugar can cause heart disease, kidney disease, resultant high blood pressure and because of heart disease a rapid pulse rate that you may become aware of (palpitations). High BP could be the cause of headaches. You need to get certain investigations done like fasting and post prandial sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin levels to know you over all blood sugar status. You may need further testing for kidney and heart function.
Avatar n tn I would encourage both of you to talk with his endocrinologist about looking into possible changes that can bring his a1c levels well down below 7. That truly is his best protection not only against kidney disease, but against other complications. If sugar levels are maintained at near normal levels, damage cannot happen.
Avatar f tn Hi there, about a month and a half ago I started feeling like something was always under both my ribs and it has been persistently like this and it's really uncomfortable, I'm also always itchy at night and have been feeling really dizzy and lightheaded constantly. I've went to my doctors and they took my bloods and all that came up was that my potassium levels were slightly high.

Avatar f tn No major visible damage to kidneys, minor signs of chronic kidney disease in an ultrasound but they said nowhere near end stage chronic kidney disease. After 2 days of fluids and a brief treatment with antibiotics (which they discontinued when culture came back negative) his creatine was down to 1.6, BUN of 74 and they sent him home on a kidney diet.
Avatar f tn Clinically I’m overweight but I am a weightlifter so I do have a lot of muscle. Can a kidney stone raise glucose levels. I checked again this morning and it was 112 which it’s never been that high.
9214378 tn?1408881584 that is, the kidneys may have been affected first, which then caused the glucose levels to rise. Cushings Disease is another possibility. A tumor called glucagonoma can also cause similar [problems, though this form of cancer is actually very rare in dogs. The increased drinking is a marker for prednisolone, as it is a common side effect, however kidney disease can also cause this (as many of us know).
Avatar n tn I have alports syndrome(kidney disease) so while there I had blood work done to check on my kidney functions. My AST levels were verrrrryyyyy high....631. ALT was 483. Also glucose was higher than usual and Neutrophils were pretty high while Lymphocytes were very low. I'm only 21 and very concerned. Could any of this have anything to do with my kidneys? Can all this be just because I was very sick?
Avatar m tn Kidney failure has been associated with uncontrolled and badly managed glucose levels. It would benefit you the most if you lowered your glucose levels to normal values. Your current glucose daily average - based upon your A1c 9.9% - is between 11.8-13.3 mmol/l [212-240 mg/dl]. HIGH. Foods? Look at diabetic nutrition and perform daily physical exercises. See this link, especially the paragraph on GFR http://www.kidney.org/kidneydisease/ckd/knowGFR.
Avatar f tn Hypoglycemia is a condition where the blood glucose goes below normal levels. This can be due to overproduction of insulin, certain disorders of the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland, liver and kidney disease, and certain medications. The way to begin to treat your hypoglycemia is to work with your doctor to find the underlying cause. Treating the cause will help to treat the hypoglycemia. I hope this helps.
