Avatar n tn So ive been experiencing kidney stones. I had done at 19 weeks passed one now at 27 weeks I have more. They also told me besides the blood in my urine I have too much protein. Not really sure what this means, they are checking for infections but im still waiting on results. I go in for my glucose test and an ultra sound on my kidneys on Thursday. Anyone else experience any of this?

1789235 tn?1315156881 I also have a rare disease/disorder in my kidneys to where I get stones and reoccurring infections called Medullary Sponge Kidney.. could that also be a disability? I usually go to the hospital 1-3 times a year with huge stones that have to be surgically removed. as of right now I have quiet a few stones in each kidney..
Avatar n tn I have had kidney stones since 2001. Currently (as of May 1) I have had a 15 mm and a 10 mm (as well as several of their babies) in my kidney. I have been scheduled for a systoscopy but when I went for my pre-op, I had extremely (dangerous) high blood pressure. I have never had this high blood pressure in my life (even when I went to the emergency room for kidney stone attacks).
Avatar m tn kidney stones can be very recurring and can start very young, although ive never heard of someone getting them in their early teens.. usually early 20s, but that doesnt mean it doesnt happen earlier. it sounds like you will have to sit in some pain until you get insurance again. you can try to seek out clinics, but theyre not very good at helping. get your insurance back and go to a dr, because if you have them so often, you might have something else going on.
Avatar f tn I read somewhere about Kidney stones and neuropathy. I would investigate the Kidney Stone side of this further. Hope you feel better soon!
Avatar f tn m being treated for the kidney, the rest has went on the back burner. My doc says my stones are from dehydration and I know diabetes could be a culprit but as far as I know eye problems with diabetes are different than mine. I am wondering what could be causing all this? It is going to be a couple weeks before I see my Doctor and I'm so tired of this misery. Any help is appreciated. Also I apologize for the typing, I'm posting from a device other than a PC.
554628 tn?1362777919 Hi, nausea, headache and kidney pain can be related with nephropathy (kidney disorder), urine test and blood urea and creatinine are usually done for diagnosis. Kidney stones do cause similar kind of symptoms; ultrasound is quite diagnostic for stones.
Avatar n tn m going to have to disagree here and say get to the ER asap. Hard tissue and that much swelling with a kidney stone over 4mm usually means a blockage. With diabetes that could be deadly. I hope you get him in soon. Good Luck.
1045176 tn?1253403447 a popular seizure medication has the side effect of giving some people kidney stones... and, as everyone knows, kidney stones are VERY PAINFUL!!! Now, not everyone who takes the seizure medication will get kidney stones, only a few people will.
Avatar m tn Hi hope this gets to u. I had Renal Colic which lasted about 30hrs,pain but amazing pelvic pressure,constant peeing,blood in the water and small clots on whiping. I know l passed a stone or stones as at one stage on peeing l felt really strong contracting like feeings in my uretha and looked down to see brown stains/streaks in the toilet. After that the pain and pressure to pee stopped,was only left with sore back/side like l had brusing which has since gone.
Avatar m tn Possibly kidney stones, kidney infection, or UTI... I am not a doc but I know it isn't normal. Go to your doctor.
Avatar f tn I know because I had three stones removed last week, one of which was 5mm and was blocking my urine flow, causing my kidney to swell to one and a half times its normal size.
Avatar m tn The most common cause is an infection because of the inflammation in the urinary tract. So it is an important possibility. Urinary stones can cause abrasion and irritation resulting in hematuria. Other possible cause is a kidney condition called glomerulonephritis. I would suggest that you consult your Doctor so further investigation can be done.
Avatar f tn Neg for CMV, Mono, EBNA,VCA,and Lime Due to the constant right side flank pain and past blood/urine test results they did to a renal scan last year. Looking for possible stones and see if they were working correctly. Right kidney slightly enlarged working at 40%, but told no sign of stones and maybe she was eating too many carbs and not enough fiber.
Avatar n tn The problem is contractions sever cramping and clear watery discharge. Should I get checked out. I also have gestational diabetes and my baby girl is pretty bug at thus point. I don't know if Im wasting my time going in for nothing to be wrong.
Avatar n tn So you should get a ultrasound, CT scan done and also some urine and blood tests. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
6523265 tn?1382099646 They told me to come back in a week and they would check it again so i did and it had only protein in the urine. So they referred us to a kidney specialist and she said that everything seems to be ok. just maybe watch for kidney stones since they run in the family. So now that this has came along i am really worried, because everything that i have read online states that there should not be any bilirubin in the urine.
Avatar n tn Ah, ha! This sounds like parathyroid disease, easily remedied by a simple surgery to take out the bad gland. Your calcium, though some labs will say is normal, is high. Good calcium should average in the nines. Mine is a steady 9.6. PTH should be below 65. Mine averages 30-32 from week to week.
Avatar f tn m considered high risk due to kidney and gall stones. Taking the prenatal vitamins will cause me to develop large kidney stones because of the calcium in them. Also when your hormone levels raise during pregnancy they speed up the growth of gall stones. At anytime of the pregnancy I can have my kidneys shut down from a kidney stone that is to large to pass and an infection will develop. Also have a gall stone get to large and block off the gall bladder to the pancreas.
Avatar m tn Urologic surgeons perform PNL through a small incision in the back and into the kidney, using an instrument called a nephroscope to break up and extract the stones. Urologists attempt to remove all the stone fragments through the nephroscope during the procedure, leaving none to pass through the urinary tract. Patients usually stay in the hospital for one to two days following PNL, with additional recovery time lasting one to two weeks.
Avatar m tn Emerg visit this month showed (big surprise) on CT, two left kidney stones 2-3 mm, one in kidney and one between bladder and kidney. This is the first time CT has been done laying on stomach. If part of this has been kidney stones all along, why might I be getting severe abdominal bloat with these episodes? I have not passed stone yet (week 3) but put on Flomax 3 days ago and bloat seems to be reducing. Thanks for your suggestions.
Avatar n tn I had a stone that blocked my kidney and even after blasting would not come out without being scooped out. This was in my left kidney. Kidneys were both checked out thoroughly for damage and other stones - neither of which was found. Questions are...Since it has been two months and I haven't passed any stones are they likely to just stay put? If the larger one gets stuck after I have my surgery will they be able to go in and get it out without cutting me or screwing up the TVT?
Avatar n tn Anyway, all my symptoms now tha I hav gotten home fit the Type 1 Diabetes list and it does run in my family. My questions are also--kidney involvement--they also told me my kidneys were not functioning too what they also should along with a number of tests with what could possibly be malignant bone marrow luekimia. I guess what I am asking is "can" blood tests be off when the blood sugar is so high?
Avatar m tn According to this article, you may have pre-diabetes: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20371451 Are you working with a doctor, and sending your blood levels to a doctor?
