graves disease kidney stones

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kidney-stones/basics/risk-factors/con-20024829 This has helpful medical information that your doctor would be able to understand and discuss with you about more uncommon causes: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/239278-overview. Its important to remember that kidney stones are not uncommon and are easily treatable if followed up on. The other conditions are clinically rare.

UTI can also be due to the polycystic kidney disease as well. Kidney stones and kidney failure are late-stage symptoms of the disease. I suggest you an immediate urologist’s evaluation. If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces. On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option. Also her renal functions need to be studied.

I have about reached the end of that proverbial rope looking for a doctor with special interest in and experience in treating patients with Graves Disease. I was diagnosed a few years ago and have been going downhill since. Have just "fired" my endocrinologist--for a multliple of reasons. Would appreciate any info on finding an endocrinologist in the upstate NY (Utica, Syracuse, Cooperstown) area...

I am not well-versed in thymus disorders w/ exception that sometimes the thymus is enlarged/persists in autoimmune disease such as Graves and MG. I don't know of an association between prior thymectomy and FM/CFS - would pursue the usual work-up perhaps with a university based rheumatologist w/ an interest in FM/CFS and certainly would test thyroid function.

Medullary sponge kidney (MSK) is a birth defect of the tubules inside the kidneys and may cause hematuria, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections. A referral to a kidney doctor or nephrologist may help. Treatment for MSK involves managing UTIs, removing kidney stones, and preventing recurrent infections and stones. Take care and do keep us posted.

the stones so they can analyze them) is the constituents of the stones. I believe a common kidney stone is made up of calcium oxylate. If your stone has some other makeup, it can be telling as to the cause of your condition. The majority of mine was not calcium oxylate, but the "lead" that gave the docs turned out to be a dead end, so I guess all my efforts to catch that little bugger were for naught. Ah well, at least I got to see my foe!! Sigh.

Does anyone know if there is a connection between autoimmne thyroid disease and kidney stones? I am really asking to receive assurance. Please don't scare me with scary stories!! Hope someone can help. Thanks. Ali.

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!!

Hi Welcome to the MedHelp forum! You must try and find a good nephrologist. Recurrent kidney stones are found renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, Dent's disease (genetic disease of the kidney), hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria and Crohn's disease. For oxalate stones you need to restrict (not totally stop) foods which are high in oxalate like beans, legumes, dark green leaves, egg plant, spinach, beets, chocolates, wheat barn, rhubarb and nuts and fruit cake.

Hi, Kidney stones form when the components of urine are out of balance. When this happens, the urine contains more crystal-forming substances, such as calcium and uric acid. Kidney stones are also prone to develop in highly acidic or highly alkaline urine. Sometimes, the underlying cause is an inherited metabolic disorder or kidney disease. Gout, inflammatory bowel disease and some medications promote specific types of kidney stones.

the doctor told me that it was becouse of low magneseum levels but a friend doctor seems to think he may be going down the wrong root, and may be a diffrent matter. i have been treated for graves disease and have taken the radiocative iodine could this have anything to do with it? would be great if anyone could help thanks This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/264225'>high calcium causing all this???</a>.

Cystinuria is a cause of persistent kidney stones. It is a disease involving the defective transepithelial transport of cystine and dibasic amino acids in the kidney and intestine, and is one of many causes of kidney stones. If not treated properly, the disease could cause serious damage to the kidneys and surrounding organs, and in some rare cases death. The stones may be identified by a positive nitroprusside cyanide test. The crystals are usually hexagonal, translucent, white.

I'm 40. In July '09, I was diagnosed with Graves. In June '09, one month prior, I went to my family doctor for a routine physical. My bloodwork showed hyperthyroidism. I thought, "Hmm...wonder what that means?" :) I didn't know much about it, but I had had a weird symptom for a few months prior. I felt like I had electricity running through my body and felt "antsy" and irritable.

I also have a history of kidney stones -- quite a few. After reading the parathyroid.com site, I urged my doc to test my PTH. He said it was mid-range normal and the ionized calcium was in the normal range, so he does not think that's the issue. He called yesterday and gave results of thyroid tests. TSH, T3 & T4 fell in normal range and the TPO was elevated. Wait and recheck in six months is his approach. Can this all be parathyroid related?

lithrotripsy is a walk in the park ive had 2 of them and have kidney stones since 1995!!

Causes include lesions of the urinary tract, disease of the prostate, trauma, tumors, malaria or stones in the urinary tract. In your case as kidney stones are present, so these definitely need evaluation as nephrolithiasis or kidney stones are known to cause hematuria. Moreover it can cause further complications. My sincere advice would be to consult a urologist. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.

We did many tests and the findings were elevated urea and creatinine, elevated calcium and kidney and bladder stones. The vets disagree on her condition, one thinks that the seizures are caused by the kidneys and the other that the kidneys and the seizures are not related. So far she has not started antiepileptic medication. We changed her food to Hill's k/d and her blood tests are much improved. The stones also seem to reduce. However, the seizures insist and I am very worried.

My question is (have not seen and endocrinologist) is it possible that when i had graves disease it caused this problem. My graves disease destroyed my thyroid which turned ino hyperthyrodism. Just curious.

I was diagnosed with PKD (polycystic kidney disease) at the age of 18. Well this last week my kidney pain changed and I knew something was wrong. Couldn't get comfortable no matter what. Lots of pain. Comes in waves from my kidney to my lower abdomen even towards my bladder. Want to er where they did a CT and discovered several small stones in both kidneys and of course a ton of cysts. He sent me to a urologist which I can't see until Next wednesday!!

s disease. Personally i do not think its the bergers disease because i am now passing kidney stones and the crystal level on my blood tests are coming back elevated. Any one have any thoughts?

Medullary sponge kidney disease may be asymptomatic in most people .Few people may have a UTI or kidney stone. UTIs and kidney stones share many of the same symptoms.MSK is suspected in patients with repeated UTIs or kidney stones. An x ray called an intravenous pyelogram can help confirm the diagnosis. No treatment can get rid of cysts in the affected kidneys.
