1926947 tn?1322986601 m so young my doctor was worried about the significant damage to my kidneys he seen when doing the emergency surgeries and the fact that he cleaned out my kidney and within a week I would have 3-5 stones developing again,so he decided to send me to Duke University Hospital in NC and I live in KY.
963889 tn?1359677334 I have looked it up though and the info is contradictory ie some sites say safe for CKD and others say avoid at all costs!!!! same with the durogesic (transdermal morphine patches) soem say safe to use and others say not so. Now at a loss, what is and isnt safe to use!!!
Avatar f tn I have been dealing with kidney stones since i was 14 weeks and am now 33 weeks but and have been in and out of the hospital..my doctor hasnt mentioned going early but i kinda wish i would so i dont have to be in pain anymore.
Avatar f tn Listen to your doctor when he prescribe a drug. There are many drugs which can potentially cause liver damage and yet are safe and beneficial at the right dose. I have taken a bunch on the bad list and still take 2 currently. MY ALT is 12 / AST 17 / Total Bilirubin .8. There are usually no fast and hard rules. After my liver transplant I was prescribed Tylenol but, not to exceed 1 gram per day. I took Tylenol during almost 4 years of treatment and I'm doing fine.
Avatar f tn t even know if the old one was normal or not, no md ever said I had a kidney issue, I just finished 12 weeks of treatment and am undetected but now I am freaked out by these kidney numera I wrote my md but have not heard back yet Doesn't anyone know or understnad this, I am having trouble understanding what I read from google searches Thanks CH
Avatar m tn Normally the anxiety resolves itself within a few weeks but this time it has persisted and continues on. Could it be caused by the morphine? This is my thought but the pharmacist said he didn't think it was. Also my doctor is suggesting 8 tylenol a day to replace the morphine. I am so skeptical of it being adequate though I know I can manage less than the 60 mg of morphine now. What are your thoughts?
Avatar f tn Is it normal to have kidney stones hurt in the kidney before they move to the ureter? Is it normal to have extreme pain in the ureter and in the bladder from a stent? I have been to three urologists in the last 5 weeks and nobody will give me answers.
Avatar f tn When HIV has low body weight (less than 60kg or about 130 lbs) they found higher kidney damage and found lowering Viread dose helps in this population. Is this transferable to HBV? I am low body weight at 115 lbs (eat healthy and exercise). I am worried about kidney damage as my age increases (now 41), with low body weight, and knowing this medication is long term/for life. How common is kidney damage on HBV only? I do not want to have to worry about my kidneys now too on top of HBV.
Avatar m tn What are the long term side effects of taking prescribed pain-killing medications (opioids) when the patient is using for chronic pain correctly. Specifically Hydrocodone and Morphine Sulfate as a chronic pain patient who is considered a narcotic dependent patient by virtue of time used, in excess of five years continuously.
Avatar f tn Get a second or third or fourth opinion. Blood in the urine is not a good sign. They may want to do a biopsy of some kidney tissue to see if there is anything wrong that way. And make sure they are doing tests to ensure your kidney's are otherwise functioning properly and you don't have signs of chronic kidney disease. I am disgusted that they would give you morphine and tell you to live with it when there is something obviously wrong. People's kidneys don't bleed for no reason.
Avatar f tn This past friday at 1:20am I was rushed to the ER from sudden back pain that was unbearable I was so scared for my baby.. Came to the conclusion it's kidney stones and I became more terrified because there's not many pain killers they could give me other than tylenol and morphine, so about the last one I asked if it was ok for my baby, first they said not sure!!
82861 tn?1333453911 If there is no infection than your dog has kidney damage or kidney failure, and you will have to treat agressively to save the kidneys by using Sub Q fluid therapy, phosphate binders if the phosphate is also elevated, kidney saving herbs such as Rehmannia 8 and more. Please write back once you have additional test results. Thanks.

Avatar n tn Higher than normal level of creatinine may be attributed to a variety of issues such as blocked urinary tract, dehydration, muscle problems as well as kidney problems, such as kidney damage or failure, infection, or reduced blood flow. It is best that you discuss the management plan with his attending physician for proper evaluation.
Avatar f tn He told me I am addicted to norco and i have to switch medications. So he gives me morphine. It is way to strong and i fekt like a zombie. Dr said it was not a side effect of morphine It was me coming off norco. I totally disagreed so he put me on Percocet. I think its to strong to. Is it really better to go on a stronger medication when its not needed? Are my symptoms really because i need norco and not that they are to strong. I just want to feel.
Avatar m tn Dear Sir, what are the tests required for Liver functions,Kidney functions and renal functions for Instance liver functions tests only AST (SGOT)and ALT(SGPT) are required or all tests likeBilirubin(total)and Bilirubin(Direct+Indirect) are required
Avatar f tn I have talked to a doctor about this and he said that someone can still have damage, and test again and it will show...IDK..As far as kidneys., I have never had a kidney infection until i started and even stopped using pills....I plan on getting my liver checked again soon....I pray your results come out good....Let us know..
Avatar f tn I have been given, hydrocodone, Tylenol 3, morphine, Vicodin, and others, I feel absolutely no relief from pain EVER, be it kidney stone or tooth ache. I have bottles of this crap. I tell drs I feel no pain relief ever! I do get nauseated and a bit sleepy. These r my only two symptoms after taking a pill, or they IV it in my arm. Otherwise nothing. My daughter for an arm break got down right loopy after some morphine.. It was amazing too watch. Me? Never. Drs never believe you either.
217599 tn?1202850952 prescribed some really large doses of morphine for him, and he has kidney problems. just the last three days now, he has started to have almost constant halucinations. the dr has changed his pain meds, and cut out the morphine alltogether. how long will these halucinations go on and could this be permanent? because of the kidney problems, he can't take any form of anti-inflamatory meds. that is what almost destroyed them.
Avatar n tn I still have sudden bouts of intense pain and I been given liquid morphine to ease the situation.
