kidney stones causes proteinuria

It can be a temporary presence due to an infection or an indication of some thing else, such as a problem with the kidneys, kidney stones (as you mentioned) or diabetes. Begin by taking him to see a urologist. I always have blood and protein in my urine. I have a condition called Interstitial cystitis......

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.

This got me thinking. When I was a teenager about 15 years ago I had kidney stones that had to be blasted. And it has me thinking maybe theres something wrong with my kidneys or maybe the kidney stones caused some damage that result in the kidneys not functioning well. Is that possible? I dont seem to have any other symptoms. I do have a slightly low iron also. Mostly I am afraid of having kidney failure. The doctor does not want to do any testing until I am done with my pregnancy.

I have very high proteinuria, and from what I understand this causes serum albumin levels to decrease. Right now my level of proteinuria is around 3 to 4 grams a day, and my serum albumin is slightly high at around 5.3 g/dL. Typically how high can my proteinuria get before I see a noticeable drop in serum albumin? If you are wondering, I do not have dehydration. I drink over 3 liters of water a day.

I've wondered that myself. I have kidney stones and gall stones, but I haven't read any studies showing heppers have a higher likelihood of either.

before this i had noticed bubbles in my urine that quickly disappear, could the trace protein be the cause of the bubbles? also i have had a long history of kidney stones could this be the cause of the trace protein in my urine? is this a serious sign of kidney damage that can lead to renal failure.? my doctor ordered a 24 hr urine and some blood teat, but my next appointment isn't until the end of the year.

You could drink more water to see if it goes away. Proteinuria is just one of the causes of foamy urine. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (commonly prostatitis) and retrograde ejaculation are two common causes in men. Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Symptoms of UTI are frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, passing of blood in urine and even fever. The most common causes of repeated UTIs are kidney stones and diabetes mellitus. Get a urine culture, serum creatinine and an ultrasound kidneys to confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinuria Treatment of FSGS can be through nutritional management or nonimmunosuppressive therapy to help some patients by decreasing proteinuria and improving kidney function. Here are some links about FSGS: http://renux.dmed.ed.ac.uk/EdREN/EdRenINFObits/FSGSLong2.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_segmental_glomerulosclerosis http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2944.htm I hope this helps.

I had all the above plus blood in my urine as you did and it turned out I had a 1cm kidney stone lodged in my urethra and my kidney was under distress. I had to be operated on right away.

Hello, Cloudy urine can be due to diet and certain foods,pus or proteins in urine,bladder infection,cystitis,urinary tract infection,kidney stones,Proteinuria and kidney conditions.

urine often indicates proteinuria, there can be other causes. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and retrograde ejaculation are 2 that come to mind. With your recent urinary symptoms and back pain, a UTI is most likely. In men, the most common source of the infection is the prostate gland (prostatitis).” Refer: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/foamy-urine/AN01702 http://en.allexperts.com/q/Urology-Male-issues-989/foamy-urine.htm It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.

Hi, In sexually transmitted diseases, those that cause significant kidney disease are of viral origin. The primary causes are HIV-1, HBV, and HCV. You can read about this study through this link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15844383 Take care and do update us with your results.

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?

Three weeks ago we took our son to a new doctor and she said he needed to see a kidney doctor.We took him to see kidney doc on 02/16/2011 and was told our son has stage 2 kidney disease.We are still trying to process it all.The doctor scheduled an ultrasound for 03/31/2011 and said that my son will need a biopsy soon after the ultrasound.My husband and I are completely devastated because we thought the protein was a result of having high blood pressure.

Hi there, I have always had bubbles in my urine, at least for the last 8 years. Recently I went to the doctor for a urinalysis because I read about the correlation between kidney disease and proteinuria. I'm unsure as to whether my bubbles are caused by protein. My test results indicated that no proteins were present in my urine specimen. My creatinine serum is 1.0. My GFR is 97.6 ml/min/1.73 msg. I'm wondering- will my GFR hold steady in the 90's?

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.

t say that urine infection can be cause of kidney stone however it may be possible that urine can be causes of kidney disease bt not kidney stones
