Avatar m tn I have had gastroparesis symptoms while taking gabapentin at a high dose for my muscular pain cause by gitelman syndrome (a rare kidney disease that causes kypokalemia) although hypokalemia can cause gastroparesis I don’t know if it is the gaba or the low potassium.
Avatar f tn I have a 14 yo female lab who was diagnosed with kidney disease last year after we noticed she was drinking more than usual. The vet gave her Hills k/d food. Other health issues include arthritis/ possible degenerative neuropathy (hind end weakness). She's taking gabapentin and galliprant for that. She had been doing well up until last week. She basically stopped eating. We tried different kidney foods, and we really couldn't get her to eat much of anything.
Avatar m tn He used Atenlol and various other tablets suggested by ESI for blood pressure and NeurokindG (Gabapentin and Mecobalamin Tablets) for his disc problem. Now his legs started swelling, he feels that because of those tablets which he took earlier his legs started swelling.The work which he does also is by standing and by bending.His weight also increased by 10kgs in a span of 1Year,now he is 90kgs and his age is 46.
Avatar f tn You must tell your physician if you are allergic to valacyclovir or acyclovir. any kidney disease, blood disorders, immune deficiencies, dizziness etc. side effects associated are nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sore throat, hemolytic uremic syndrome etc. You need to be concerned about the cumulative side effects of the two drugs. Otherwise, there are no serious interactions documented in the medical literature. Hope this helps. Take care.
Avatar m tn What you describe is not a side effect of gabapentin. They contraindicate its use in dogs that have kidney deficits, but the only side effects are vomiting, depression, excessive sleepiness and loss of balance. None of the other medications should cause otic issues either, especially since he's not new to taking them. It sounds like your dog has possibly developed otitis externa on top of whatever he's taking the gabapentin and other medications for.
Avatar f tn Pregabalin (Lyrica) is similar to gabapentin (Neurontin) and may be more effective, but usually kidney stones require opiates -- they can be quite painful. best wishes.
Avatar n tn Hello, The symptoms are definitely suggestive of kidney disease. You should get an ultrasound kidneys and kidney function tests done 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. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn I would encourage both of you to talk with his endocrinologist about looking into possible changes that can bring his a1c levels well down below 7. That truly is his best protection not only against kidney disease, but against other complications. If sugar levels are maintained at near normal levels, damage cannot happen.
Avatar f tn I have a 14 year old cocker spaniel who was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. She originally got sick a few weeks ago with pacreatitis, and when she recovered her lab work showed the kidney problems. We have been giving her fluids every other night as well as the epakitin powder with her food. Her blood report was better this last time. However she seems pretty good, has a good appetite ect and I'm wondering if there is anything else that could be causing this disease?

Avatar f tn Im very sick and cant get anyone to help. Ive even had a dr tell me he wont diagnose me with kidney disease until I get insurance so I got insurance and they denied coverage before he even diagnosed me. I then had to quit working due to illness. Now Ive got no job and no insurance and no help. What do all these results mean? Whats the next step? Who will help me?
Avatar f tn Hi there, about a month and a half ago I started feeling like something was always under both my ribs and it has been persistently like this and it's really uncomfortable, I'm also always itchy at night and have been feeling really dizzy and lightheaded constantly. I've went to my doctors and they took my bloods and all that came up was that my potassium levels were slightly high.

387767 tn?1345872027 Be sure to discuss all recommended vaccines with your veterinarian. A cat with kidney disease or kidney failure should not be vaccinated at all. Long-term feeding of an all-dry-food diet is also suspected as a factor in Chronic Renal Failure. Cats' kidneys are highly efficient and adapted to life in the desert, where they would get most or all of their water from eating their prey.
Avatar m tn Could my BUN have been normal and still have kidney disease or failure, and also no protein was found in my urine, soo......????
Avatar f tn A DRY KIDNEY IS A FORM OF KIDNEY FAILURE
Avatar m tn Obviously, he has severe anemia and no amount of iron will fix this kind. I have never heard of chemotherapy for kidney disease or kidney damage. I have kidney damage (kidney disease) due to an autoimmune disease. Kidney function is at 26% now, up from 20%. Autoimmune disease is in remission since I had all the mercury fillings removed from my teeth.
Avatar m tn Hello, Itching skin without any rash can be due to dry skin, dermatitis and hives, atopic dermatitis, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals,wool,soaps,cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy skin. You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing.

Avatar f tn First off, it bothers me when people say "abusing pills". Sorry, but you can not abuse an inanimate object. I also hate it when people confuse physical dependence with addiction. They are different in my book. Anyway, I am having a problem with my back hurting in my kidney area.
Avatar n tn BTW, I am a 58 year old male who has had 2 Cataracts, an aeortic Aneurism w/ Valve replacement, 2 knee replacements, kidney stones which clogged the kidney and caused a MRSA blood infection, and shoulder surgery all in the last 5 years. Fun, huh??? Thanx again!!!
Avatar f tn s GABA receptors, but the mechanism of action is slightly different with each. Gabapentin seems to be more effective in treating neuropathic pain from disease process, such as Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, where Lyrica often works better in patients with nerve pain caused by impinged nerves and enhanced epidural and peridural neurofibrosis (basically, scar tissue on the nerve / nerve root).
Avatar m tn Hello, I am new to this group. I have had more than 85 blood tests since I was diagnosed with Lyme in July of 2014. All have been negative. I have been on may drugs for pain and currently on Gabapentin for vocal cord/coughing issues and leg pain (knee, calf, left side back). I don't think it is helping much. Is anyone else on Gabapentin?
Avatar f tn Hello, everyone! I am a 16-year-old girl and I take gabapentin for nerve pain (we think...) My neurologist gave me a perscription for 1800 mg per day. The other day, I went to a Christmas party and left the gabapentin at home, so I missed a dose. I got a horrible stomach ache that night and was miserable. The next day, I took the medicine, and the stomach aches are gone. i also have gotten weird vision problems when I accidentally miss a dose.
