With the low complement, is it safe to assume this is NOT stones? How could it be stones if her urine is only showing pre-cursor to stones? We don't go back for several weeks, as he is buying us time to decide on the biopsy while we wait for the immune tests as well.
Also, can she be vaccinated with low complement? Are there any risks to her taking probiotics? Thanks!
The uptake and washout of urine from the kidney was slow compared to the other kidney (about 70% vs 30% function for good and bad kidney instead of 50-50). So clearly there is a ureter obstruction. Now the urologist wants to do a retrograde pyelography to really determine the cause of the obstruction, whether it's a stone or stricture. My question is that, what's the likelihood it is a stone or a stricture?
I have had blood in my urine for 2 months now and I have had stomach cramps similar to menstrual cramps lately. I also have a history of kidney stones. I go next week for my cat scan and see if I have stones or something that may show up. I am worried but I always do, but this time I haven't been in pain like I was the other times I had stones it just seems different. I also worried about Bladder cancer or kidney cancer, but the symptoms doesn't exactly fit there either.
At first the plan was to drain the kidney and break up the huge stones. After having a kidney function test, well it was discovered that my rt kidney had no function at all and needed to be removed. It was described as a huge beachball about to explode. I had kidney removed along with gall bladder. They actually removed over 7 liters of pus and fluid. It was over 30lbs lost.
I want to know that whether the increased level of creatinine is due to stones or there is the damage to kidney due to some other reasons.

As you have had/still have calcium oxalate stones, your risk of getting more kidney stones is much increased. Avoid the foods mentioned and browse the web for more information on oxalate rich foods that you should avoid or eat less of. It is also very important to always stay well hydrated. Your urologist may have advised you to drink 2 litres of fluids (4 pints) during the day, more if you are doing exercises that make you sweat or perspiring in hot weather.

My wife has been having extreme kidney pain (left) after kidney stones and the doctors don't seem to agree on what is happening. Ultrasound - Slightly bulky upper pole on right kidney with subtle altered echopattern and early loss of cortio-medullary differentiation. no focal lesion on either side. Normal colour flow on doppler.
CT scan - no contrast shows nothing abnormal. Contrast - Both kidneys show hypodense lesions that are ill defined in the superior poles involving the cortical.

Get a ct scan from a doctor then talk to a urologist if it is a kidney stone. I was born with a condition that causes my body to create kidney stones. I have been to the emergency room 4 or 5 times in the past 18 years for the large stones, small ones pass ok.
I have had pain for 4 weeks now. Originally diagnosed as kidney stones. I was put on antibiotics for a week on day 4 and booked in for an ultra sound. I was also given diclofenac to help with the pain. Avo upper data later the pain did not get better. I went back to the doctors and they weren't sure it was a kidney stone. Occasionally pain worsened on some days. Was prescribed codeine for when I needed it. I continued having pain and was signed off work. I only had fever on day 2.
I also feel a burning sensation when I urinate, along with days where I have bouts of frequent urination. My doctor thought that it was kidney stones and gave me an antibiotic witch did nothing for me. And so the aching continues and I am concerned that it could be something else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
