Female | 7

The test report shows that your right kidney is good. But the left kidney has a bit of trouble. Some damage is there in the outer part of the left kidney. You may not have any problems right now. But you should look for pain or change in urine. To help your left kidney, you should drink lots of water. You should also talk to a nephrologist for more advice soon.

creatine 4.7 is normal gfr 8.5

Female | 75

A creatinine level of 4.7 and GFR of 8.5 indicate significant kidney function impairment. It's crucial to consult a nephrologist immediately for further evaluation and management. They can provide personalized advice and treatments to help preserve kidney function and maintain overall health.

Hello (apologies for long post) Caucasian, Male, 60, 6'0", 260 lbs. Meds: Lisinopril 40 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg x2 a day, Amlodipine 10 mg, Furosemide 20 mg, Glimepiride 1 mg, Janumet 50-1000 x 2, Atorvastatin 10 mg...NO drink/smoke or rec. drugs. Issue: After a lot of work, have lost 40+ lbs in last 5-6 years...blood pressure 130/85, A1c 7.0 ...here is the issue. In March of 2023, after years of my GFR staying constant in mid/upper 40's, (not great, but consistent), it was lower at 41. Dr wanted to check it again in 1 month. I very strictly controlled my diet/sugar/protein/soda/increase water intake, etc...take meds religiously...GFR dropped to 35. Dr sent me to a nephrologist, but before the scheduled appointment (which was 6 weeks later), he took me off of Triamterene...said it can be hard on kidneys. When the nephrologist sent me for labs, GFR went UP to 50. Another test 2 weeks later and GFR went up to 55. Nephrologist says that removing Triamterene from regimen played NO part in GFR rising...put me on Spironolactone due to edema returning . 6 months later at next check-up, all numbers and BP continue to be good, but GFR back down to 40. Is it possible that the diuretics have been hard on my kidneys and causing the lower GFR. I understand with years of HBP/diabetes, the GFR is not ideal, but I'd like to keep it in the 50's if possible. Family doctor took me off the Spironolactone and put me on Lasix in March of 2024...bloodwork coming up in a couple of weeks. Family doctor seems to think the diuretics have contributed to lower GFR...Nephrologist says they have nothing to do with my fluctuating GFR numbers... seeking input from anyone here with knowledge/experience...appreciate any insights re: affect of diuretics on GFR...alternatives to traditional diuretics, etc. I've read loop diuretics like Lasix best for kidney issues.

Male | 60

Diuretics such as Triamterene may have been responsible for your kidney problems, which in turn may have resulted in the increase or decrease of your GFR. The switch from you to Lasix by your family doctor is a good decision as it is a diuretic that may be less harsh on the kidneys. Continue to collaborate with a nephrologist to discover the optimal treatment for you.

Hi doctor....I have 2-3 small simple kidney cysts on right kidney....left has no cysts....I am just 39....how common it is....and the largest cyst measure 15mm*11mm

Female | 39

Kidney cysts are like small fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the surface of the kidneys. In fact, many people have them without even knowing it because they often don't cause symptoms. The fact that your left kidney is cyst-free is a good sign. As for the size of the largest cyst, 15mm*11mm is considered small and generally not a cause for worry. I'd recommend keeping an eye on them with periodic check-ups to ensure they're not growing or causing any issues. If you experience any new symptoms like pain or changes in urination, schedule an appointment with urologist for further guidance.

Pain in urine and also in kidney and some thick white paste in urine

Female | 22

You may have pain when peeing, discomfort near your kidneys, and thick white discharge in your urine. These are signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a kidney infection caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Drinking plenty of water, taking antibiotics prescribed by a doctor, and resting can help improve your condition. However, it is essential to visit a nephrologist for a proper diagnosis and the right treatment.
