Can I Use Creatine with Kidney Stones?

Can I take creatine if I have kidney stone?

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

Having a kidney stone might mean creatine isn't safe. Kidney stones can cause your back or side - and sometimes your belly - to hurt. They're normally a group of minerals or salts stuck together in the kidneys. By taking creatine, you could potentially make kidney stones more painful because it adds stress to your kidneys. Get advice from a nephrologist before starting creatine if you have kidney stones.

5mm stone left renal calculus and there is hard pain in kidney

Male | 25

A 5mm kidne­y stone in your left side can cause­ severe pain. Urine­ minerals gather and create­ the stone. Intense­, stabbing pain may spread to your back or abdomen. Drink lots of water to he­lp flush out the stone. Your nephrologist might give me­dicine to ease pain and he­lp the stone pass more e­asily. In some cases, they may do a proce­dure to break up or remove­ the stone. Follow your doctor's advice care­fully to manage the pain and get rid of that stone­.

what is creatine in kidney? My creatine is found 2.5. What to do now? I have not understood. Is it dangerous for my kidney? Please guide me.

Female | 42

Creatine is produced by the body and generally excreted by the kidneys. A creatinine level over 2.5 can indicate kidney dysfunction. Symptoms may include fatigue or swelling. Conditions such as hypertension or diabetes can lead to this problem. To support your kidneys, ensure sufficient hydration, consume nutritious meals, and adhere to medical advice.

I am a kidney patient GFR61 and creatinine 1.08 level CKD stage 2 now Can my kidney function improve and can my kidneys get cured completely and recover without any side effects and without any further damage by Homeopathic medicines and treatment faster

Female | 70

In CKD stage 2, the kidney function is low and can be controlled. Homeopathy may relieve symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and high blood pressure. Still, full cure and recovery without side effects are not a warranty. To keep your kidneys safe, drink water, eat a healthy diet, and take your doctor's advice.

I am 66 years old. Known case of ESRD on heamodialysis 3 times for the last 5 months. H/O htn on medication for the last 9ys . No DM . Past HO hepatitis c ( cured)

Male | 66

When you have ESRD, your kidneys do not work well. Although dialysis is working for you, high blood pressure may cause more difficulties. Be on the lookout for signs like being tired, swollen body parts and/or having trouble breathing. Do not stop taking your hypertension drugs; also follow a diet that is good for the kidneys plus keep being active.

My friends brother has effected with stroke while getting into dialysis with oxygen mask. Kindly guide what to do

Male | 60

A stroke during dialysis can be caused by low blood pressure or the brain not receiving enough oxygen. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to, sudden weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, and confusion. Place the person on the ground, loosen anything too tight, and call for help.

Firstly, approximately 20 years ago, I experienced a significant shoulder impact while playing football, resulting in a sprain that extends from my neck to the back of my shoulder. Whenever I engage in physical activity, particularly on the injured right shoulder side, I feel a burning sensation accompanied by heat. Additionally, I've noticed that my right hip appears elevated since the injury. In a previous scan, I discovered a left-sided disc prolapse. Moreover, I occasionally experience sprains in the middle of my back. I have not been taking any medications for this issue as previous doctors have been unable to identify the problem. I am concerned about the long-term implications and would greatly appreciate your expertise in evaluating and providing guidance on the appropriate course of action. Are there any specific tests or examinations that you recommend to better understand the underlying causes and potential treatment options for my shoulder, hip, and back issues? Furthermore, I recently discovered that I have kidney stones in both of my kidneys. I do not have diabetes or high blood pressure, and I am not diagnosed with arthritis. Additionally, I have been informed that I have elevated uric acid levels. Considering these multiple health concerns, I am wondering if blood tests or any other diagnostic tests would be beneficial in identifying any potential connections between these issues and guiding the most appropriate treatment plan.

Male | 44

To address your musculoskeletal concerns consult an orthopedic specialist. They would recommend imaging studies, physical therapy, and medications as needed. For your kidney stones and elevated uric acid, seek guidance from a urologist nearest to you or a nephrologist who can perform diagnostic tests. I suggest to follow certain dietary changes, and monitor your kidney health. Open communication with your specialists for a tailored treatment plan for your multiple health concerns.

Minimal eterogenous collection within endoeterial cavity likely blood clot

Female | 35

The symptoms are similar to a clot that is apparently located in the right lower stomach according to your description. These are a variety of factors such as a burst cyst or it's possible that the right ovary is affected. The common signs that may occur are pain, bloating, or abnormal bleeding. It is necessary to perform additional tests for identification and then plan the appropriate treatment accordingly.

medullary definition is maintained. Right kidney measures 10.2 X 3.5 cms. KIDNEY: Both kidneys are normal in size, shape, position and axis. Homogenous normal echogenecity is seen bilaterally. The cortico Left kidney measures 10.3 X 3.6 cms. Splitting of central echoes is seen in right kidney. No calculus is seen. URETERS: Right upper ureter is dilated. However, obstructive lesion could not be visualised. VESCICO URETERAL JUNCTIONS: Both vescico ureteral junctions are normal. URINARY BLADDER: The urinary bladder is well distended. Its wall is not thickened. No intraluminal echogenic areas are seen. The prevoid volume measures 100 ml. Sonography report IMPRESSION: Findings suggestive of right sided hydronephrosis and right upper hydroureter. However, obstructive lesion could not be visualised. Follow up and further investigations are suggested to confirm the above findings.

Female | 20

The report suggests, however, that there seems to be a little issue with the right kidney and ureter. The right kidney is a little bit swollen (hydronephrosis) with fluid which is also a bit widened (hydroureter) in the upper ureter. This may be caused by something blocking the urine from the kidney to the bladder. The positive thing is, there are no stones that are causing the blockage. Further tests will help us in this matter, to know what's the cause of the problem. It's vital to do the follow-up tests, to find out exactly what's happening, and to get the proper treatment.
