Common Questions and Answers about Viral infection kidney

infection

Avatar n tn If you temperature keeps fluctuating, going up and down, you may have an infection which may be a bacterial or a viral one. It is still worth making an appointment to see your doctor to check you out. If the doctor feels it is a bacterial infection, you will get prescribed with an antibiotic. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Avatar f tn A lot of what you described sounds like you could have a kidney infection, which can be life threatening! Viral hepatitis or cirrhosis of the liver I saw on one website can cause dark brown urine. Another mentions UTI, liver failure, renal (kidney) failure & blood in the urine. Please go in ASAP and get a urine culture, kidney and liver functions done!
Avatar n tn Hepatitis C and Auoimmune Hepatitis are two entirely different conditions. One is viral (Hepatitis C) and one is not. You can one, the other, or both. If you have Hepatitis C, you will have what is called a positive viral load test, sometimes called a PCR test. If you aren't sure what you have, speak to your doctor. If your doctor isn't a liver specialist (hepatologist) now might be a good time to consult with one.
Avatar m tn With fever and anemia, kidney should be reassessed for infection. Kidney infection cause anemia. A urine examination should be done and if RBC are detected in them, then complete kidney function panel should be done. Leukemias, liver infections, parasitic infects of gut like amebiasis and giardiasis and SLE can all cause anemia and fever. Do discuss this with your doctor and get your father examined in this line. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn The doctor said that swollen gums may be caused my any viral infection as the body fights off the infection. It sounds like I have no reason to be concerned?
Avatar n tn He has lost 12 pounds, has been in and out of the hospital and each time is diagnosed with a viral infection. I was curious what your thoughts are in regards to the symptoms he has been experiencing. It all started after a work out at the gym. He was driving home and felt as if he was going to pass out. The drive home took 45 minutes when it should have only took 20. He said he kept getting lost.
Avatar m tn For roughly the last 2 months I been told by a Dr that I was fighting a viral infection all the flu symptoms went away besides my 2 mouth ulcers and diarrhea. at first the Dr said don't worry about it but how can i not if its been 2 months and still their... I'm worried that it can be something major but who knows... I just pray to god to take my pain away since its hard for me to deal with this. please if anyone can help let me know thank you!
Avatar f tn Elevated white blood cells may be caused by infection and may be associated with the slight reduction of kidney function. Mildly reduced kidney function may require observation, as well as control of blood pressure and risk factors. If the symptoms persist, it is best that you check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests may need to be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn The fact that you have a kidney cyst strongly suggests that you might also have nephritis from a kidney infection. Because of your other signs/symptoms this could be a systemic infection. Sometimes these are difficult to pin down, and most physicians essentially give up trying to find a cause, if an immediate cause can't be found.
1067109 tn?1258330364 A friend of mine and I were talking about being SVR, me for 8-months now and her for 10-years. She said that someone told her she has always still had a viral load but is testing SVR because the viral load is under the level that the test checks for. I'm thinking Bull-****. If she has had any level of viral load over the past 10-years, wouldn't you think that it would have come back by now? I don't want to figure, I want to know; for her, for me, for all of us. Input please.
Avatar f tn other than I have described or could it be a herpes viral infection without presenting any of the typical blisters? Just looking for feedback...
Avatar f tn Your report has errors in terminology. It should say: faint opacities seen in the right upper lobe first intercostal space. Then it goes on to explain it looks like a lung infection. So the question is is it bacterial or viral ?
Avatar f tn Hi, I think you have an acute kidney infection. I had one years ago and my symptoms were exactly the same. Go back to your GP who will prescribe you some antibiotics. Don't let it go for too long because it can be dangerous and cause kidney failure in the long run if left untreated. But, don't worry with the right medication , you will be back to normal within a week. Good luck and take care.
Avatar n tn From your description of symptoms, it certainly sounds that you are suffering from post viral fatigue syndrome (after sinus infection) that may originate after a long lasting viral infection or if you had viral illness plus underlying disorder such as anemia, diabetes etc. One may experience muscle pain, headache, no refreshing sleep, malaise, pains in joints and sometimes nerve compression symptoms (tingling/weakness).
Avatar f tn No other issues, BP 107/74, no cholestorol, no diabetes, great weight, non smoker. They think it was a viral infection that weakened his heart. Described to me as very weak and large. Seems to be responding well to meds from what we can see. Any thoughts? We are scared to death. He is only 42. They called in a infectious disease specialist who is interested in the fact that my kids had strep about 6 weeks ago.
Avatar f tnInfection such as viral, bacterial or tuberculous •Inflammatory disorders, such as lupus •Cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the pericardium •Kidney failure with excessive blood levels of nitrogen •Heart surgery
Avatar f tn I am starting IFN (pegylated alpha 2a) next week. Because I am on home hemodialysis for ESRD caused by diabetes - now well controlled, I can't use Riba and I am interested if there is any efficacy studies on supplementing with l glutathione, naringenin, Nac or one of the plethora of substances I've read about in Professional Journals on the net. Worried about the drug interractions/?kidney clearance of naringenin. Phosphatidyl choline??

Avatar n tn You shouldn't treat yourself as it may be the wrong treatment. There are complications you can get from clindamycin also and it is not a good choice. If you have a viral infection you won't need antibiotics. If you had strep throat you wouldn't have an ear infection usually. It can happen but isn't usually the way it presents. Do you have a high fever? Pus in the throat, or rash?
2176548 tn?1340677817 Anyone here had a kidney infection before? What helps for pain? And how long does the pain normally last??
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had a kidney infection while pregnant... if so what are some signs?

I am 26 weeks and 2 days. Any ideas on what i should do to help prevent the hospital?! Is cranberry juice good to dribk and water?!
Avatar f tn ive been put on antibiotics for uti ubtil i gwt my results but im worried its a kidney infection...I knew kidney infections can be deadly in pregnancy...is this true? Im freaking out...
Avatar f tn Yes any type of infection can hurt the baby if not treated u really need to go to ur Ob/gyn and get checked to find out what u have and get treated
Avatar f tn I ended up in even more pain Saturday evening and they admitted me and finally realized it was a kidney infection. I spent from Saturday night until Wednesday afternoon. I was on iv antibiotics and iv fluids the whole time. I was discharged with instructions for modified bed rest and had to take macrobid the rest of my pregnancy to avoid it reoccurring. I ended up having my son at 35 weeks.
