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.
With this, one has to check for the presence of hematuria or red blood cells in the urine, your blood pressure and total cholesterol levels. Nephrotic syndrome is a primary differential here. Was your kidney function assessed ( BUN and creatinine levels determined?).
With the back pain, several differentials also need to be ruled out. This includes musculoskeletal pain, arthritc pain and an underlying spinal cord condition. Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia should also be considered.
Seven patients, of whom five were hepatitis C positive, developed renal function impairment long after transplantation, as well as de novo nephrotic syndrome (n = 5), severe hypertension (n = 5), nephritic syndrome (n = 1), and increased serum creatinine (n = 1). This type III cryoglobulinemia was associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and with thrombi within the glomeruli in one case.
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!
i am a patient of nephrotic syndrome minimal change taking prednislone 20 mg for 10
years i had protected sew with a sexworker after 10 days i saw a flat ulcer on my penies

AS I HAVE SUFFERED BREATHLESSNESS AND WALKING PROBLEMS,I HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF TACROLIMUS AND PUT ON NEORAL-YET THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT IN MY CONDITION.IS THERE ANY OTHER ANTI REJECTION DRUG THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND (I HAVE HAD A LIVER TRANSPLANT RECENTLY)? IN YOUR EXPERIENCE,CAN MY SITUATION BE IMPROVED?THANKS.
I've experienced foamy urine.........when I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, massive protien spillage causes it. Your doc should get you to provide a 24hr collection to have an accurate prediction of protienurea, a dip stick can be misleading especially if you are a high protien eater. Sometimes it can just be a reaction of certain meds that are being taken.
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.

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.
- 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.
Here is a Vaccine Information Statement with more information: http://www.cdc.
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.

i wouldnt lower the tacrolimus dose further
This could happen due to sloughing of the tubular epithelium in conditions like kidney stones, nephrotic syndrome, trauma and instrumentation in the urinary tract.
Presence of squamous cells suggests contamination of urine sample. Get an ultrasound done to check the presence of any stones and consult a urologist.
All the best.
5 g per day warrants further evaluation by a kidney specialist to rule out nephrotic syndrome. Additional diagnostic tests such as glomerular filtration rate, renal ultrasound, and possible intravenous urography and serological screening for autoantibodies and complement level. Hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.
