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 f tn definitely could be stones. i had 1 and mu hubby had them 2x.
Avatar f tn I was thinking that this could be a UTI or kidney stones but as we live in a small village in Alaska and it is a monumental monetary undertaking (plane ticket or ferry ticket just to get to a larger town with a doctor, not to mention transportation and THEN the doctor visit... she is on a fixed income), we need to be VERY sure its not something that can be rectified at home before we commit to the expenditure. Any advice, recommendations, suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I have dealt with kidney stones for many years now some I've had to have surgery for others just had to deal with pain for weeks waiting for them to pass. I know that I have 5 dormant ones on my right side and 4 on my left side right now. They keep referring to them as dormant anyhow. I have been having some very bad days pain wise and having issues with being able to urinate much regardless of how much water I drink (I pretty much only drink water every day and my intake is high).
Avatar f tn The tip of my **** is swollen ONLY on the left side and the swelling does not reach the actual eye/hole of the penis. It hurts when it rubs against my underwear, only on the swollen area which is not significantly large, it's actually a rather small portion. It doesn't burn when I pee, and I am no longer having sex with my partner/girlfriend. She does not have any vaginal symptoms or anything like that. The only thing I can think of is an infection of some sort....
Avatar m tn First off, many of the herbs and supplements suggested for kidney stones, at best, may aid in urine flow to some degree, but there is no plant or vitamin that can MELT kidney stones, because all stones are made with varying amounts of CALCIUM, which cannot be dissolved without risking losing other things made of calcium such as bones and teeth! Only Uric acid stones have the least amount of calcium content and therefore CAN be reduced in size through medication.

Avatar f tn 8 and 1.5. Last 2 GFR were 47 and 49. History of kidney stones. 7 years ago I had sepsis and had a kidney stone in my right kidney. A nephrostomy tube was placed for 3 months. Should I see a nephrologist?
Avatar f tn Hi all, I had lithotripsy2 weeks ago wendesday and the dr was able to break up all the stones in my kidney. I had a 10 mm stone in my renal pelvis, multiple stones in the lower portion of the kidney largest of which was 6mm and 3 stones in the ureter largest measuring 4 mm. I had a stent in for a week and in that time passed maybe 5 or 6 tiny little pieces, since the stent was removed Ive counted just 1 tiny piece passed.

Avatar f tn The doctor prescribed my mom to much calcium when she was pregnant with me and it gave her kidney stones and pretty much killed my left kidney. Well I know your not suppose to have caffeine that it effects the one kidney I have. And I also found out recently I'm 7 weeks pregnant and doctor said I really need to watch my sugar and caffeine intake. But my problem is.. I'm addicted to caffeine. Its so hard for me to get away from it. I need help and I need ADVICE on how to stop.
Avatar m tn How long would it take for a kidney stone to pass? I was dxed with a kidney stone Dec 07. Pain, and all that goes along with them. Ultra sound said yeah there is a stone. In January had another and it stated, yeah it's gone, you must have passed it. Just today April 08 after not feeling good since Dec. 07 I went to urinate and tickle tickle tickle, plop, out comes this piece of whatever the size of a pencil eraser!!! Could this be the stone after all these months???
82861 tn?1333453911 They can become elevated if there is a urinary tract infection, a kidney infection or a prostate infection, or the elevations can be caused by damage to the kidney (either kidney disease or kidney failure). A urinalysis with a microalbuminuria test will determine if it is an infection or kidney failute. Lyme disease can commonly effect the kidneys also causing kidney failure. So if it has not been performed yet I would have your dog's urine tested and perform a lyme disease test.
775870 tn?1235520424 could be a few things,left side usualy shows stuff like gasteritis,or bowel obstruction,or could be pain do to oncomming kidney stones...if you start getting back pain,or tingly feeling in urethra,or urge to pee alot,thats almost certain kidney stones. i had them,and i hoke up with left belly pain,then spread to right kidney area,then i was at hospital getting morphine drip!!!
Avatar f tn I am a twice a day person who uses the restroom always have been I have had kidney stones before I am just afraid I dont want end up on Dialisis Like my Grandmother but kidney disease runs in my family and I dont want to fail my UA for pain management because of the bilirubin and protein
Avatar n tn You could ask your doc if you're a candidate for a medication such as Actigal, but it may or may not work to dissolve the stones. There is a procedure in which the stones can be 'blasted' much as they do kidney stones, but it isn't in use much since docs feels it's easier to remove the gallbladder. Passing a stone can cause a heck of a lot of problems.

Avatar m tn m terribly frightened that I may have kidney stones, being as I have had slight cramps in my left flank (slight), and I believe I recall a slight discomfort in my lower stomach area (which may be a result of wearing really tight pants that day). Can anybody help me out here?
Avatar f tn Omg that's all I ever want is soda. Pretty much all I drank at the beginning of my pregnancy now I have kidney stones and I'm 32 weeks . It's ok to drink a soda a day but make sure you drink lots of water too.
Avatar m tn In the last month I had to go to the ER for kidney stones. After taking a CAT scan it showed that I have several stones still in my kidneys. I have an appointment with a kidney doctor who is a stone specialist according to my uroligist. However the appointment isn't until April. So i am sitting here hoping not to have another problem until then. Anyone had the same problem as me. As for my stones most are very small (2 mm).
Avatar f tn The biggest problem with kidney stones is inducing labor since your body is in distress I have a history of them and my ob told Mr if I feel like I'm having kidney pain to go to the hospital right away just to be safe they will usually keep you over night and make sure you pass them they don't directly affect the baby
Avatar f tn Rhe pain was worse then labor I swear. Have any of you ladies had kidney stones during this pregnancy? Im due nov 28th and im already dealing with all the pain that comes along with pregnancy and I cant go through that again.
