Pancreatitis kidney function
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis kidney function
pancreatitis
The same thing a kidney stone is made out of and also if you have pain there as well it could be kidney related due to refer pain. So you should get blood and urine test asap.
the other problem that could arise after surgery is scar tissue building up causing adhesions..that is why it causes the pain..so the Doctor should send you for a ct scan..
I truly feel like the change in diet triggered her pancreatitis which caused her kidney values to shoot through the roof (when we put her in the hospital, they were literally off the chart).
We get to pick her up today. I definitely don't want to feed her anymore of the NF food. I checked out some of your recipes which I am more than willing to try, but I want to make sure it doesn't affect her pancreatitis.
Any thoughts?
my bun is 63 and my creatine is 8.02 and im 60 yrs. old.
I am struggling with several issues associated with management of kidney disease in my 18 year old terrier mix rescue dog, who was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease 5 weeks ago, on the heels of an episode of acute pancreatitis. He had been on metacam for osteoarthritis (elbow, spine, hips) for about 2 years, so we have been monitoring his blood work at least every 6 months. His creatinine had been creeping up slowly, but entered the abnormal zone at 1.
My 8 year old dog has late stage chronic kidney failure. She was diagnosed just over three weeks ago. We were shocked to hear this news because she just started showing signs of nausea about a week earlier (no other signs before). BUN 83, Creatinine 6.0, and Phosphorus 8.5 (her levels lowered after 48 hours of IV). She is anemic and has pancreatitis and a UTI as well. She has been struggling with loss of appetite (weight loss) and vomiting.
I was running a very high fever, chills, severe muscle aches. I have alports syndrome(kidney disease) so while there I had blood work done to check on my kidney functions. My AST levels were verrrrryyyyy high....631. ALT was 483. Also glucose was higher than usual and Neutrophils were pretty high while Lymphocytes were very low. I'm only 21 and very concerned. Could any of this have anything to do with my kidneys? Can all this be just because I was very sick?
I am undergoing treatment for pancreatitis, I am 29 yrs old and not an alcoholic. What precautions I should take while undergoing treatment ? what are the chances of recovering from this disease?
It was supposed to be to help with kidney function, but she seems to be doing fine with just the food. All of her stats are in the normal range except for her creatinine, which was 2.8 at last reading and it had come down from 3.1. She has had her blood pressure checked twice, and they were both in the high-normal range at the vet's office, so they said she probably has normal blood pressure when she is at home and not in a high-stress situation, like at the vet.
I have had terrible pain in my front right & left ribs & in my sides that wraps about midways in my back somethime under both shoulderblades on both sides for the last 2 years after eating with weight loss that has leveled off some. I have had one mild elevation of Amylase around 135 at the beggining of 2006. I had high triglycerides which are now normal.I have had continual elevations of Lipase around 320 throughout the last 2 years.
s likely the kidney disease occurred first and the pancreatitis is the result of the kidney failure. However, the pancreatitis may be a chronic condition that has been happening for a long time, in which case it could have affected the kidneys. Has your vet given any indication of which may be the case?
The reason for asking is it could be important, because acute pancreatitis can be treated (although any organ damage cannot be undone).
Do you have any pain that could be kidney stones? Or, did they do an ultrasound of your kidneys? Just in case one is causing this ? Just a thought.
Within the last two years she has been diagnosed with kidney stones, anemia, pancreatitis, hypokalemia, mixed connective tissue disease, asthma, raynauds disease, mono, bronchitis, pleurisy, pericarditis, chostochondritis, uti's, kidney infections...She has had a fever for weeks...The drs say her potassium is dangerously low and they've given her multiple IV's with potassium, but it hasn't helped make any improvements.
With repeated bouts of acute pancreatitis, damage to the pancreas can occur and lead to chronic pancreatitis. Scar tissue may form in the pancreas, causing loss of function. A poorly functioning pancreas can cause digestion problems and diabetes.
•Pancreatitis - also known as inflammation of the pancreas, can cause amylase and lipase levels to be increased up to 3 times normal. Both values should be increased, in order to carry the diagnosis of pancreatitis.
•Lipase may be increased in tumors of the pancreas, or stomach certain stomach conditions. These conditions are usually painful.
•Gall bladder infection - Inflammation of the gall bladder (cholecystitis), may cause increased lipase levels (hyperlipasemia).
