The continuing and unchecked deposition of calcium eventually leads to chronic renal insufficiency. Nephrocalcinosis may be complicated by renal stone formation, which adds another element to the causation of renal insufficiency secondary to an obstructive uropathy. The histologic findings include calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate crystal deposits that mainly appear in the renal interstitium, but deposits may also be seen within the renal tubules.
The EF below 30% is heart failure range and that can cause renal failure. Early complications of cardiac insufficiency include renal vasoconstriction and the development of sodium and water retention, which are hallmarks of the very early stages of congestive heart failure. Heart failure is a physiologically delicate condition in which therapy is designed to block the sodium retention and simultaneously interrupt excessively activated neurohumoral mechanisms.
Looking for some advice, have had a kidney infection on and off for the last two months, i have been on four weeks of different antib's and have had renal ultra sound. Ultra sound came back clear.

Regular consumption of citrus fruits like oranges also helps in preventing recurrent UTI as they cause acidification of the urine. You will also need continuous prophylaxis with drugs like nitrofurantoin to prevent UTI. This may go on for 6-12 months. It’s good to know that your renal functions are good. Please do discuss with a urologist. Wishing you good luck. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Other reasons necessitating surgical intervention are failure of renal growth, formation of new scars, renal deterioration and VUR in girls approaching puberty.

Anaemia is a frequent occurrence in SLE and causes include inflammation, renal (kidney) insufficiency, blood loss, dietary insufficiency, medications, hemolysis, infection, hypersplenism, myelofibrosis, myelodysplasia, and aplastic anaemia.
It also says that the colony count of the bacteris is 1,00,000 cfu/ml. Hence, doctor prescribed some medicines like Uribid with nitrofurantoin in it, Prothiaden M, Montemac FX for allergy and Hifenac-P for fever and also Cital syrup for UTI.

I had severe adrenal insufficiency due to severe vitamin B12 deficiency. Sounds like you need to start thyroid medication again too. That causes puffiness in the face and eyes and fatigue and stress on the adrenal glands. I have hypothyroidism as well just to add. When i'm stressed i usually sleep about 14 or 15 hours.
Certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, heart disorders, renal insufficiency, diabetes etc should be looked for as these can lead to severe reactions to the contrast medium.
