Prior to being diagnosed with Hep C I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. My question is that if I have attained SVR what are my chances of my kidneys returning to normal. I've done research on this but have inconclusive answers. If anyone knows anything or can direct me to a site that shows remission rates for nephrotic syndrome post treatment of HCV it would be greatly appreciated.
**I must say the stories on this site helped me get through this ordeal.
He thinks that I may have Nephrotic Syndrome. He did take the time to explain this syndrome to me in detail. I do know that my biological father died of kidney disease but never met him and don't know what type of kidney problems he had.
As of the past 5 days I have been in severe back pain. The problem is I live with back pain every day for many years. I assumed that my back has gotten worse when the severe pain started.
Hi,
Frothy urine seems to be associated with increased protein levels in the urine ( as in nephrotic syndrome).Some have associated this with calcium levels and gallblader disease.As for the first question, at this point we can not definitely tell that the antibiotics made your urine frothy. However drugs are metabolized by the liver and kidney and are excreted in the urine.
This treatment resulted in a dramatic improvement in all renal parameters, particularly a sustained remission of nephrotic syndrome in three cases, the disappearance of nephritic syndrome in one patient, and improved nephrotic syndrome in two cases, as well as a sustained clearance of cryoglobulins in six cases. However, it also resulted in severe infectious complications in two cases.
I recently saw a post on here where someone was asking the question connecting these two problems together....I am wondering what other people have come across? My daughter was diagnosed with Minimal Change Disease...which of course is idiopathic. I am wondering if Lymes could have been her "cause". Any thoughts or theories or? would be greatly appreciated!

Have them check for protein loss in your urine this might cause those symptoms instead of GI? There is a disease called Nephrotic Syndrome. This usually has edema (swelling in the feet, ankles, around eyes. However you could have vomiting and weight gain as well. Just a shot in the dark. I'm not in the medical profession, so please don't take this to heart, this is just something to read about. Don't be scared to come right out and ask your DR what he/she is checking you for.

Hi
The symptoms of swollen face and gain in body weight in a child may be due to allergy, hypothyroidism, kidney problems or as a side effect to steroids. The first signs of nephrotic syndrome are puffy eyelids and a swollen face.
You should consult a pediatrician. A careful history taking, physical examination and laboratory studies (thyroid profile, urinalysis and serum albumin) would help reach the correct diagnosis so that appropriate therapy can be initiated.
I thought I would be IGE but that would be only protein than i thought I would be SLE but ANA was negative.. What about Nephrotic Syndrome? Or what about Glomerulnephritis? I've had 10 surgeries already due to Hydrocephalus so I like to get educated with my health. Anything you can tell me would be great. At this point I just want to get diagnosed so I can get on treatment and possible have another baby in the future but I don't want to take a chance without knowing my true diagnosis.
- have a damaged spleen or no spleen - have sickle-cell disease - have HIV infection or AIDS - have cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma - have nephrotic syndrome - have had an organ or bone marrow transplant - are taking medication that lowers immunity (such as chemotherapy or long-term steroids).
When a second dose is given, it should be given 5 years after the first dose.

On the other hand these clotting disorders can be acquired in certain disease states like cancer (so this needs to be re-checked), obesity, lupus, antiphospolipid syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, heart disease, polycythemia vera, side effects of medications, and IBS—to name a few. Please consult your son’s doctor regarding these possibilities. Hope this helps. Take care!

After 5 months of this therapy, the patient developed membranous nephropathy. Complete remission of his nephrotic syndrome was achieved after 1 year of cyclosporine and corticosteroid therapy. During this same period, his chronic viral hepatitis B was controlled by entecavir. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which membranous nephropathy developed during pegylated interferon ?-2a therapy for chronic hepatitis B.
Since I was on tacrolimus only(as Mycophenolate causes TLC to go down in two occasion), sirolimus 1mg is started along with reduced tacrolimus(2mg BD, Tac level ~4.5). But the creatinine is still high(1.8). It seems some side effect of Sirolimus is also coming as the TLC is 3400 and platelet is 80,000.
What do you suggest to bring creatinine under control?
What is the way to determine the exact required dose of tacrolimus?
