Avatar m tn I do have a fake front tooth that they like drilled up into my gums and put it in there by like a wire or something like that, that was done like 12 years ago.I'm a 25 year old otherwise healthy male, here the past 4 days I've noticed that I've been having a very strange taste in my mouth that will not go away no matter how often I brush my teeth. My appetite is horrible, I force myself to eat once a day, I've lost about 7 pounds.

Avatar m tn Obviously, he has severe anemia and no amount of iron will fix this kind. I have never heard of chemotherapy for kidney disease or kidney damage. I have kidney damage (kidney disease) due to an autoimmune disease. Kidney function is at 26% now, up from 20%. Autoimmune disease is in remission since I had all the mercury fillings removed from my teeth.
Avatar f tn Have any of you had to do a 24 hour urine collection test to check for high blood pressure ? My ob wants the test to make sure I don't end up.with pre eclampsia. The thing I don't understand is I'm only 15 weeks and I didn't have this test with my first son. Also how can they tell from urine?
Avatar m tn Collectively, these are the indicators for kidney disease, although only some of them being abnormal would point to early disease. On its own, the BUN and creatinine are of no concern (assuming it's mg/dl units). The low specific gravity of the urine is certainly a concern and a pointer to some kidney issue. This is called isosthenuric urine, where the kidneys are unable to produce concentrated urine output.
Avatar m tn HOWEVER, kidney disease doe not cause the body to shrink or hair fall out!!!!
Avatar f tn The other test you have looks like a urinalysis( test for the urine) you have blood in your urine but only BLD + 5 UL.
Avatar m tn I recently got my urine test done with the military and they sent me a letter asking for a family doctor to re-interpret the results and/or do a new urine test. On the info sheet, 3 lines were highlighted and the results were given beside then: Protein - 1+ Ketones - TRACE Bilirubin - 2+ I'm stressing a bit because I did some research online and the articles said that it might be a kidney problem. With me trying to get into the Air Force I need to be physically and mentally healthy.
Avatar m tn Around two months ago I started seeing a nephrologist to see if the blood is coming from the kidneys, and around the same time my UA test started showing protein in my urine. Bellow are the results of my last UA and a 24hr urine protein. With this results, Is the protein in my urine secondary to the gross hematuria or am I having protein in my urine because some how my kidneys are not working right??? Any help will be really appreciated.

Avatar m tn Again if you are still concerned after the urinalysis you could also consider an abdominal ultrasound. This is a test where we can look at all the abdominal organs with sound waves. Many congenital kidney diseases will show up on this tests. The fact that your puppy is energetic and playful and that his urine is yellow makes me less concerned. Finally please make sure you get a fecal exam to check your puppy for internal parasites. That can be a common cause for the border line anemia.
Avatar n tn Alkaline phosphatase 229 (Normal 30-126) So his result is elevated. This is a test done to check for liver disease. Besides liver disease, high results can also be caused by gallstones, bone diseases such as arthritis, or heart problems. GGT 66 (Normal 0-51) Result is slightly elevated. High levels of GGT are present when the liver is damaged but not present with bone disease. A high level of GGT may also be caused by the use of certain medications.

452332 tn?1329009513 Is it possible to have a beginning stage of kidney disease and receive normal test results for the BUN and creatinine blood tests? 2. If I explain this to a nephrologist, would he/she be willing to run tests, or just say everything is normal unless the BUN and creatinine are out of range? Thanks.
Avatar n tn so erm does foamy urine onli mean kidney damage or any other things??
Avatar f tn What I have found so far online is that stress can cause protein in the urine if there is no disease like kidney problems or diebetes,which I don't think I have.So is protein in the normal okay for me?
Avatar n tn i have had a significant amount of blood and protein in my urine for almost a year along with t ALOT of pressure in my lower abdominal area and alot of back pain on my right side! at times the amount of pain makes me vomit...can this all be related to kidney disease?
1962386 tn?1325356133 I am 17 years old and for the past 3 years ive had every test done possible to me to determine the reason for severe pain in the kidney area and blood in my urine. I had a urinalysis and they determined that the blood was coming from each kidney and there where no other abnormalities. They tell me that it can be one of two things, loin pain syndrome of the kidneys or berger's disease.
Avatar f tn Hi, Hematuria or blood in the urine can be due to many conditions. such as trauma, stones, infections, viral infections, nonspecific inflammations of the kidney or obstructions of the urinary tract. The evaluation of hematuria requires that examining the entire urinary tract including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Management of blood in urine depends upon the underlying cause. It is good that your cytoscopy showed normal results.
Avatar f tn I have no physical symptons but I know when I urinate I have bubbles in my urine. What is the prognosis for this disease and what can I do to improve kidney function?
