Avatar f tn He was on dialysis for a 18 months before his dad gave him a kidney and now, 9 years later, that kidney is failing as well. He was in hospital for a month in Jan and landed up in ICU with blood clots in the lungs. He was given 4 blood transfusions but that has made no difference. He is on warfarin again (it was stopped last year Sept when he landed up in ICU with a nose bleed and got a blood transfusion, the warfarin was then stopped). Could it be his blood causing all these issues?
4822967 tn?1367656696 There is a black box warning for all gadolinium contrast agents (Omniscan, Magnevist, OptiMARK, ProHance, Multihance) stating that patients with kidney disease or renal failure are at risk of developing Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). A eGFR of less than 30 mL/min is considered to be at a high risk of NSF and gadolinium should be avoided.

681148 tn?1437661591 I was hospitalized myself for the first time ever with renal failure back in September. To this day the nephrologist hasn't been able to figure out what the cause of the renal failure was or why the kidneys are only almost back to normal, but won't quite get to normal. I also have Oral Allergy Syndrome, GERD/IBS, Celiac, MCS and asthma and possibly CFS/FMS. I've been reading some information about hursutism and its connection to the cortisol produced by the adrenal glands.
Avatar n tn Renal failure may be either chronic or acute. Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a progressive, irreversible deterioration of kidney function. Because cats hide their illnesses and the very early signs of CRF are subtle, this disease may only be recognized when the patient reaches the 70% deterioration level and more dramatic symptoms are observable. The seemingly sudden onset may appear to be an acute condition but is most often a crisis point of CRF.
996946 tn?1503249112 Warfarin works by reducing clotting agents present in the blood which means you are more prone to bleeding. You should watch for blood in your faeces and try not to bruise yourself too much. It is also a good idea to have regular blood tests for checking Liver function. Are you on Warfarin long term?
Avatar n tn My cat, Miss Kitty has just died from renal failure. We did not notice any symptoms except weight loss and as she was about 14,, we attributed this to being older. She was still active and eating, until one Friday night when she collapsed. We took her to an excellent vet who gave her aggressive treatment over a period of weeks, including IV fluids, saline,blood supplements, phosphorus blocker, CCRF supplements, KD cat food, and we also gave her Astro Oil.

Avatar f tn Heart failure is a condition in which the heart’s ability to supply the body with the blood is impaired. It causes a variety of symptoms that worsens gradually, thus interfering with the daily activities. Despite the deterioration of heart function and the seriousness of the condition, heart failure is not an irreversible condition. It can be treated if the patient provides enough compliance to his medicines.

Avatar m tn Renal anomalies could be responsible for decreased or deranged renal function and may lead to renal failure. One working kidney is enough for normal functions of the body. It would be difficult to comment if your other symptoms could be related. I would suggest discussing the situation and the suggested management plan in detail with your treating nephrologist. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar f tn The throwing up became very bad so I took him to a different vet that after a urine test was able to establish Teddy was in 75% kidney failure. Some Medication was given but he has become increasing worse. Vet suggested an IV Solutuion but after researching it on the internet decided my little guy's quality of life and his always wanting to please is not fair to him. To prolong the inevitable for something that may not work is not fair to him or me.
Avatar f tn the urologist removed the stents and reinserted them, the creatinine rose further and another 3 procedures were undertaken over the next 24 hours. His creatinine was 1200 by this stage and was in complete renal failure. The CT scan and MRI showed a left adrenal haemorrhage after first operation and was found to be over-anticoagulated, INR was 8.7 during 2 operations and 11.7 on the last.

Avatar n tn I am a 70 year old man and I was admitted into the hospital March 28 because I was in renal failure. At that time my BUNN was 123, Creatinine 5.98 and GFR 8. Meanwhile as you can see from results below, it wasn't the only this wrong. They said it was acute renal failure and I should just be patient for numbers to get better. Here are all of my results now and not one doctor can give me answers as to why this is all happening .
Avatar m tn Profound reduction of cardiac output and arterial hypotension in severe heart failure may lead to acute renal failure. Control of high blood pressure and blood volume (diuretic) can preserve your left ventricle function.
Avatar f tn s a risk of serious or even fatal bleeding — especially when warfarin is taken in high doses or for long periods of time...taking warfarin at a high dose for a longer period of time is only advised for individuals who are at a high risk of developing blood clots that could cause a heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism. There is a risk/benefit decision that would require professional judgement. Thanks for your question, and if you have any further questions, you are welcome to respond.
Avatar f tn Well, we went back to the vet yesterday. He said Sadie's lungs sounded good - fluid seems to be gone. She is still retaining fluid in her tummy though - not as much, but it is still evident. We are to continue the lasix and the Dr. also put her on special food - Iam's Veterinarian Renal Formula. He said that should help and he will do blood work in two weeks. Hmm.... I am wondering why he didn't just do the blood work yesterday?
Avatar f tn All who suffer from heart disease have a statistically higher risk of a heart failure than does the general population who do not have heart problems. This is true too as we go into higher age groups, the older one is the more likely they will experience a physical failure of some type or another. I suffer from AFib myself and know I am at higher risk for additional heart problems, and for stroke even though I take an anticoagulant (Warfarin).
Avatar m tn has he been diagnosed with renal failure or are you just going by some of the symptoms? what are you feeding, have you tried a variety of different foods...especially wet/canned food that has a good source of protien and no grains? he really needs to see a Vet to get some blood work done if he hasn't already, there could be other reasons for his symptoms. the Vet can give some medication to help with the nausea and acid...that could also help his appetite..
