Avatar m tn Usually kidney pain is in the upper mid back area where the kidneys are located not in the lower back.
354236 tn?1196902187 My husband was diagnosed with bronchitis in the airways on Sunday. Today he's worse. He's coughing harder, severe chest pain, feverish, and the part that scares me is that he has this sharp, stabbing pain in the middle of his lower back, he say's it feels like his kidneys but we are not sure. He's seen 3 different Docs since this started about 3 and a half weeks ago, and none of them has done a chest X Ray.
Avatar n tn However, in the majority of the patients it’s something known as pre-renal dysfunction which means dysfunction of the kidney due to defects before the kidneys and the commonest cause for the same is dehydration. Dehydration leads to poor filtration in the kidneys and thus leading to the accumulation of waste products within the body. It also affects the functioning of the kidneys.
Avatar f tn Behind your lungs are your kidneys, is it possible that when you breathe your lungs are hurting your kidneys? Therefore it would feel like your lungs hurting but it's not. Just an idea if the doc is ruling out lung problems.

She was malnurioushed and the diabetes was acting up. She ended up with a thorancentesis on her right lung which removed 2 ltrs of fluid. Now we are on day 23 and she is in ltac. Still has chest tube and is on high levels of oxygen, iv meds. She had a thoracentesis on the right lung again 1/2 a week ago.
Avatar n tn He has had COPD for years and incredibly high BP. He is 58 years old. He caught streptococchus which turned into pneumonia, lung failure, kidney failure and his heart has failed 4 times since he's been in ITU. They have stabilised him but he is producing minimal amounts of urine and not clearing any waste from his blood. He is on hemofiltration, a ventilator which the docs are trying to wean him off and his heart is in AF for the last 6 weeks.

503418 tn?1231098736 Strep tonsillitis can cause secondary damage to the heart valves (rheumatic fever) and kidneys (glomerulonephritis).
Avatar n tn Shortly after the surgery she had trouble breathing and went to the hospital. At first they thought it was a touch of pneumonia, than later they said it was her ephysema acting up. They are putting her on steroids and shes been in the hosp for a week. She seems to be getting worse to me. Her breathing is not getting better, her feet and legs are blown up swollen. This all happened right after the operation so it has me thinking there is something more going on here.
Avatar m tn Strep throat is caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes). Penicillin(s) are generally prescribed in the treatment of strep throat. If your medical provider has ordered Levaquin I assume there are good reasons. Allergy to penicillin?? Levaquin is an effective ATB . Levofloxacin (trade names Levaquin (US), Tavanic (EU), and others) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class.

Avatar n tn Two weekends ago I woke up with the usual backache associated with pneumonia. I get it twice a year, so on Monday I called my doctor and went in. I was not seen by the doctor but was given prescriptions for the pneumonia and an order to get x-rays done. On Thursday I got the call that the x-rays did not show pneumonia and to stop taking the medication. On Friday I was worse so I went to the ER. That's where they told me I dislocated my ribs from coughing due to the pneumonia.....
250155 tn?1485295939 during my u/s on friday the tech said that she saw some fluid in the baby's kidneys but the doc said not to worry about it... i've tried to find information on it and i always get info on fluid "around" the kidneys instead of "in" in the kidneys. can anyone tell me what could be some reasons why this fluid would be there? thank you!
Avatar f tn I'm 23 weeks and was told my baby had a small amount of fluid in both kidneys. Dr. Said not to worry too much but I go to a fetal maternal specialist Friday for another ultrasound. Scared and worried is an understatement. Anyone else have experience in this area?
370143 tn?1206679669 I am sorry I cannot be of more help, but I thought I was fine and found out I had pneumonia. Headache, from a sinus infection. Fatigue, from chronic infections and inflammation. Oh, and rib pain...from coughing, oh, but that didn't go away lol. Seems my kidneys and God only knows what else is acting up now. I hope you feel better and can get to the doctor soon.
Avatar f tn Two of the times we were sent home and told to rest and keep up on fluids. The third visit he was finally given a chest XRay which confirmed severe pneumonia. He has been in the ICU for 3 days now and has rapidly deteriorated. The prognosis is lesions/ nodules surrounding the heart that need to be removed which they are unable to do until his pneumonia clears up. There is an apparent Staph infection of one of the nodules inside a ventricle of the heart.
