ve got stones in the left side of my kindney but now m wonderin coz i dnt hav any pain nor any burning sensation while passing urine den hw is it possible that i have got stones in my kidney and when i consulted with the docotor he asked to do IVP,,,, nw m confuse wethr to do IVP or jst skip with that.

Thank you for your recommendations. I went to the urologist today and will have an IVP and cystoscopy next week. The urologist did see some some narrowing at teh UPJ . The report from the scan also stated slightly prominent bilateral renal pelves. I am not sure what that means. Would like to know if anyone does know what it means. The C&S came back +for Strep B in urine.

Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having symptoms?

I know steroids can make you susceptible to infections, but has anyone developed a UTI on solumedrol? I had the unmistakable first inklings of one a bit ago. I rushed out for cranberry juice and a blueberry smoothie (blueberries are supposed to have the same effect as cranberries, and it's a good excuse for a fruit smoothie!!) and I'm hoping I can keep it at bay this way, but I guess I'll know in a few hours. These things tend to come on fast for me.

I am scheduled Monday to do an IV for three days of Solumedrol. Has anyone else done that and if so, what is your opinion. I am alittle nervous about it.

So here I am a year later from giving birth, and repeat us they said nothing in left kidney, and right is still slightly enlarged and I have a 2cm (20mm) Stone (renal specialist said, urologist refuses to say that until the results from my Ivp xray are back). My question. Is those who have experienced this, did you have lasting effects to the kidney due to this size. Mine is stuck/embedded between the ureter and the kidney. I'm still throwing blood protein, and bp is normally 140-130s/90s.

What does a bladder cancer tumor looks like on the out side part of the bladder on an ivp. kidney and bladder x-ray test.Does it looks like a bright white lump or mass on the out side part of the bladder on the ivp.x-ray screen.I wan't to know because in 2003 my doctor said that i have chronic microscopic hematuria and i was reffered to a urologist my urologist ordered me a ivp.

doctor has told me to go for Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) test.but as he was not giving medicine for the cure of stone and he was also saying that treatment is not available in that hospital i left the IVP test. Now what should i do. Size of stones are 10.9 mm in right kidney and 7.9 mm in left kidney (both in mid pole region) A copy of ultrasonography report is attached here.and other reports were normal except urin test in which 10-12 cells/HPF of RBCs were found.

ve had a horrible experience with Solumedrol as well.....Back in March I had extreme leg and groin numbness and went on IV Solumedrol for 3 days....I had a nasty reaction to it, but it DID take away the numbness and vision problems almost immediately....Well, within 48 hours anyway..... In May the left side of my head and face went numb and because I was visiting the MS Clinic at that time, I declined the Solumedrol treatment.....That numbness didn't go away for 20 days.....

The numbness went away and now I have muscle twinges. I also have constipation. I took an IVP and my kidneys looked fine. I took a blood tests and my levels were all fine. I still have flank pain, muscle twinges, off and on constipation, and still pee dark yellow in the mornings(one time cloudy). I drink lots of water until my pee turns light yellow/clear. At night I have to go pee like 3-4 times.

I have taken 2 CT scans, an Ultra sound, IVP, Renal Scan, x-ray of the bladder, X-rays, and a scope of my stomach--all test were negative except for the scope which showed 4 ulcers in my stomach. The pain I have been suffering from (7 weeks to be exact) is on my right side lower back. I also have a stitch from the pain going along the side of my stomach and traces of urine in my blood. No one can seem to find out what is wrong other than to keep giving me Percocet for the pain.

They did one standing IVP and one laying IVP. With contrast. That way they were able to see that not only my kidneys were dropping, BUT when it dropped it was kinking my ureters! The CT they did on me did no good at all. Niether did the renal scans.

At one point this was happening about 15 times per day. I took a round of Solumedrol (3 days) and began taking 300 mg of Lyrica per day. It now happens 4 or 5 times per week. My doctor prescribed another round of Solumedrol which is scheduled for next week (30 days from the first one). I am trying to decide whether I want to do the 2nd round of Solumedrol. It made me feel horrible and was a miserable 4 or 5 days.

I had a 4 day Solumedrol drip and then step down pack in February and it made me worse. All my muscles tightened up and I have more pain than I did before. Call it a major fibromyalgia attack. Even now in May, I am still as stiff and woozy as i was after the glucocorticoid therapy. Sigh. Did nothing for me that I can tell. I did sweat a lot during the treatment so maybe i lost a few toxins?

t help, so I had the 3 day mega dose IV solumedrol. I did not do the tapering off pills, because I was having a reaction to the medicine. Since the end of February my ankles are swollen everyday, all day. I asked my neurologist, and she said it is a side effect of the solumedrol. Any one else experience this.....swollen ankles for so long? When will they return to normal? Help please. Thank you.

•burning or painful urination •pain in the back, lower abdomen, or groin •cloudy, dark, or bloody urine •foul-smelling urine •fever and chills •vomiting To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor may order an x ray called an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). In an IVP, dye is injected into a vein. The dye travels through the blood to the kidneys. As the dye is filtered into the urinary tract, it makes urine visible on the x ray and shows any blockage in the urinary tract.

I am currently being treated with 1 gm Solumedrol once/month. I had a three day course last spring and felt AWFUL afterwards. I did eventually feel a bit better overall, so maybe it was worth it. Even the one day dose makes me feel pretty lousy. My sx actually seem to get worse for a few days afterward! I'm not dx, but symptomatically fit the diagnostic criteria (we'll see what the 3T MRI has to say...

After seeing a few doctors and urologists, ultrasound and ivp, they found nothing more than my right kidney out of place, down lower than normal and turned. I was also told i have a very mild epispadis of the penis. Are these related? also calcium oxylate was in my urine, what i believe are kidney stones, could they have caused the infection and the blockage of urine?

These are the same problems I have with Solumedrol. Diabetics have a hard time with Solumedrol and it seems that insulin or diabetic pills, cannot work hard enough to get high blood sugar levels down. Here where we live in Virginia, they will not do a treatment, if your blood sugar level is about 200. This is a good drug, but very hard on someone that is prone to high blood pressure and high blood sugar.

I started rebif and solumedrol at the same time in July, but call your doctor.. Are call the MS lifelines??

I had my first course of solumedrol Friday-Tuesday. Last night (Thursday night) I began needing to urinate every 30-60 minutes. Not like tons and tons. But also not my bladder fooling me. And it continues today! I can't get a hold of my @$&#%& neurologist. So of course my question is whether this happens with steroids. Anybody?

t used it for MS patients for quite a while because most or all tolerate the solumedrol fairly well. Wish me luck. If insurance accepts it I will start the end of this month. I'd love any feed back you guys may have on it...don't know what to expect.

This concern has been posted awhile back, but wanted to reintroduce it. I had a solumedrol treatment about 4 weeks ago. About 2 weeks later i got chills and my hands started to itch uncontrollably followed later by hives in random places (no pattern to where they were) but mainly arms, stomach, and scalp. Called my neurologist, heard back from his nurse who said there was no way it was related to solumedrol.

There are ways to test patients with an IVP dye allergy. I am allergic to IVP dye and I have taken Prednisone and Benadryl prior to procedures and I have not had any reaction. I believe there are newer contrast dyes that have significantly fewer reactions than the older iodine based contrast material. Regardless, if only for your peace of mind you should follow up with someone - your PCP or another specialist.

// but I would get a copy of the radiologist report. There are many who have said IVP is the standard for MSK diagnosis. The nephro calcinosis shows up on a CT scan but the the IVP collecting duct issues.
