Avatar m tn 0, otherwise is easy to produce stones. Well having only one kidney left I am worried about the ph being too acidic and losing my only kidney! How can I reduce it? I live in Honduras, Central America, I don´t have the resources to travel to the US, see a Doctor and buy prescription Urocit-K which I was prescribes back in 2008. I would like alternatives, natural or chemical since I am extremely worried!
Avatar n tn My husband is suffering with kidney stones and he got surgery for 3 times (only right kidney and left kidney is normal and no stones and it is functioning properly) and after that his body got swollen completely and after many checkups including biopsy, it is determined that he is losing proteins due to the dysfunction in the filteration of Kidney. Now he is loosing 11 gms of proteins when he undergone protein loss check up. His legs, stomach and face is completely swelling.
Avatar m tn I have been doing researches on the recipe,which handed down from my forefathers,can cure all kinds of nephritis(except Kidney Failure and Uremia because they are not reversible). The recipe is comprised of several kinds of plants and this (secret) recipe has never become published.I assure you that the mixture contains no toxic substance.This prescription is characteristic by miraculous curative effort and short course of physiotherapy (according to the state of illness).
422425 tn?1307992990 I have large amounts of blood and protein in my urine and my kidney functions are decreased and have been for about 4 years already. I am scheduled with a kidney dr in a few weeks. Because it has been a year I am getting a little concerned. My DR doesn't have a lot of answers for me. I have had Lupus for 6 years now, so I was thinking maybe it is somehow related. Any information would be very helpful, and it would calm my nerves.
Avatar m tn You asked about the relationship between kidney stones and urinary tract infections. In fact, the formation of kidney stones and urinary great links, in the continuous development of kidney stones, it is prone to urinary tract infections. If fever, back pain, pus in urine appears, it could be urinary tract infection. Recently, your symptoms increased and attacked frequently, you are recommended to see the urology physicians. In your daily life, please drink plenty of water, do more exercise.
Avatar f tn I have interstitial cystitis (IC) which can flare and feel like infection, and I can even feel what seems like pain in kidney area but the UAs and cultures come back negative. Endometriosis in the bladder can also cause UTI like symptoms. I have seen online there is also such a thing as interstitial nephritis as well, but looks like that can affect the kidneys ability to filter waste and your doc is saying your kidneys are fine.
Avatar f tn i am having a ultrasound down this week and i am having a cystoscopy and cystometrograph and a bladder biopsy next week i am really worried i just wondering what could be causing all of this. if you guys could give me a little insight it would be very much appreciated.
Avatar f tn Some of us are also on certain meds which cause kidney damage or deficiancy not related to Lupus Nephritis. Right now your kidneys are OK. Repeating it in three months maybe because you are on cerain meds or in the process of you being tested for Lupus your doctor would like to keep a close watch on your kidneys particularly if you are having what is known as a Lupus Flare.
Avatar m tn From what I read on the internet it sounds like a kidney stone but the doctor indicated it was not a kidney stone and is approx 7mm by 10mm. I am a smoker, overweight and also my aunt and grandmother had kidney cancer. I also had to make an apointment with my family doctor because of pain in my upper right stomach under my ribs and pain in the middle of my back. He thinks it is the gallbladder and I will have tests this week.
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 Hello sir,my father has been recently diagnosed with kidney disease.He is 58 years old and diabetic ever since i can remember.He also suffers from high blood pressure.The deterioration of his kidney function has left him depressed and at a loss.His creatinine level is over 4.5.Please sir,i urge u to reply as soon as possible.btw am not an american.Bangladeshi to be precise.Quality kidney treatment is hard to come by where i come from.
Avatar m tn s nothing major at the moment, but you do need to have it monitored, because anything over 0.3g per 24 hour urine collection is significant. And if you do have nephritis, you will need to be on medication. Is your kidney function normal? I guess it should be. Any RBC or WBC in your urinalysis? Normal blood pressure?
Avatar f tn Has she had a CT Scan w/o contrast in regard to the stones? What has it shown? I have an uncommon kidney condition called MSK (Medullary Sponge Kidney) along with having had out 1/2 my thryoid bcz of nodules that were atpical but my parathyroids were fine and all tests were A-OK that both my Uro and Endo have run inc. a 24hr urine test. Has your daughter had a 24hr urine test? That is important too.
Avatar n tn I was affected by nephritis 7 years before (Due to some infection,through wound), Treatment was perfect and at perfect time. After that my urine is foamy some times (may be evening,morning like that).If i drink lot of water, then foam is not there. I have done lot of tests including blood urea, creatinin,urine albumin......a lot of tests at least twice in year. The results of all tests are normal till now. I don't have any other symptoms of kidney related problems.
Avatar f tn I wonder if anybody else has experienced diarrhea with kidney stones? I have had upwards of 40 kidney stones in the past four years but somehow still have no answers as to why my body is producing these or how to relieve them. And i never fail to turn up new symptoms or troubles. I have been having dark urine and a lot of kidney pain lately and I'm sure I have another stone working its way out of my kidney...
Avatar f tn How unusual is it for the stones to be in this meaty part of my kidney and since they are still in my kidney aren’t they just going to continue to grow larger? Are these stones causing damage to my kidneys? They don’t seem to be causing any blockages based on the ultrasounds that have been done, but I still have had frequent flank pain and blood visible in my urine prior to the surgery. Is there any hope that I will be able to be stone free and prevent more stones?
Avatar m tn m 19 years old and I have been having intense pain in my kidney area on both sides for about 4 months, and I have been to 2 urologists. While they have diagnosed me with kidney stones and they said that I have a couple of small stones in each kidney, but they are not blocking anything so they are not the cause of my pain. I have also been to a physical therapist who said it is not musculoskeletal. I have also been having hematuria for at least 2 months.
Avatar f tn recently diagnosed of sle with lupus nephritis type v and is currently on omnacortil(prednisolone) 40mg/day and chloroquine at 24 yrs of age now ive started to notice my moon like face after 2 weeks and its getting wierd and wierd.is there any way to be out of my new face ...
Avatar m tn Has anyone here with kidney stones tried vitamin B6 and magnesium to prevent new stones from forming? I read a study that concluded that taking 50 mg of B6 daily with 300 mg of magnesium oxide (one of the least absorbable forms of magnesium) will prevent future kidney stones. I also read that potassium and B6 does the same. Perhaps the magnesium works because potassium is better absorbed if there is sufficient magnesium.
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 Thx for your response I have passed one of the stones in the hospital a few days ago still have another in my right ureter and a 7mm in my right kidney and several small stones 35 wks pg now and they are going to induce me in two weeks due to the kidney stones causing contractions and wanting me to have lithotripsy after her birth. I was told I wouldn't be able to pass the 7mm stone without intervention what are my chances with that they said its in the middle of the kidney.
Avatar f tn My husband had a kidney transplant five years ago cus of Iga nephritis, the kidney was a success 100% match from his mom. Two weeks ago his creatine was1.9 now is 2.0. This past year his creatine levels has been 1.6. The dr at the begone thought might be dehydration but he has been drinking a lot of water. But his creatin keeps going up. Now she said they might need to do a kidney biopsy. We are so scared cus this is like dejavu.
Avatar f tn m not a physician though and only know about kidney stones since I have suffered with them for well over 30 years and well over 30 plus stones. I hope you get the answers you are seeking and I would suggest asking a physician who would know for sure.
