Discovering kidney cysts can be frightening, but stay calm—they're usually harmless and symptom-free. However, if you experience back pain, blood in your urine, or high blood pressure, see a nephrologist promptly. They will likely order tests to assess the situation properly. Delaying care for eight months is inadvisable; prompt evaluation ensures your well-being. Though usually benign, ignoring potential issues can lead to complications. With timely check-ups and appropriate treatment, kidney cysts are manageable.

Hello, please is Creatine 5g daily for people with just a little bit of kidney dysfunction?

Male | 21

If you have kidney trouble, be careful about taking 5g of creatine per day. These conditions could get worse if you do. Some signs that your kidneys may not be working properly are tiredness, swelling (particularly around the ankles), and difficulty falling asleep at night. Before starting any new supplements, it is important to talk with a nephrologist first.

Hi wondering is protein trace leukocytes and high ph on urine dip test a sign of kidney infection? Also has flank pain and nausea

Female | 17

When your urine test finds protein, white blood cells, and high pH with flank pain or nausea, it may mean a kidney infection. Bacteria entering the bladder usually causes these infections. Drink lots of water. Take antibiotics your doctor prescribes. See a nephrologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I am 36 years old, a few days ago I had severe pain in my back and stomach, I got sonography done and kidney stones were detected. Now whenever I take a long breath, it hurts, I feel mild pain all day long, there is slight bleeding in the phlegm also

Female | 36

The back and abdominal discomfort you’re experiencing could be associated with kidney stones, which may also lead to irritation. The pain while breathing, along with blood in your phlegm, suggests a need for further evaluation. These signs, while often manageable, should not be overlooked. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment. Staying hydrated and avoiding strenuous activity can be beneficial in the meantime.

I'm 22 year old female... I have 5.6mm kidney stone.. how can this remove without surgery

Female | 22

Managing a 5.6mm kidney stone without surgery is possible in some cases. Symptoms may include pain in the back or side, difficulty urinating, or blood in urine. To help pass the stone, increase fluid intake, particularly water, and consider dietary adjustments, like limiting salt and animal protein. Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief. Sometimes, medications called alpha blockers may aid stone passage. However, it’s vital to connect with a nephrologist for tailored advice and to monitor your situation.

I am 48 years old. There is albumin (protein)+1 present in my kidneys. I am experiencing a fever as well as pain in my back. I have hypertension and diabetes as well.

Female | 48

According to what you have said, it may be a sign that there is an infection in one or both of the kidneys or even some sort of damage if the protein in your urine is accompanied by other symptoms like fever, backache, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Having protein present within urine isn’t normal at all, especially when taken together with these other signs. So you must see a nephrologist as soon as possible to have this checked out.

How many points can my creatinine increase with GFR increase after 30 days with stage 4 ckd eating low phosphorus potassium protein and sodium. I have lost some weight using peddler. In the past 30 days my blood pressure and blood sugar have been stable

Male | 76

This means less creatinine in your system. Lower creatinine is good - it shows less strain. High creatinine brings tiredness, swelling, trouble urinating. Keep tracking your progress carefully. If new worries arise, like changes in how you feel, let your nephrologist know right away.

Hello sir/mam, i have pain over left side abdomen from last 3 days, severe in morning and subsides as the day passes, fever, no burning sensation. Xray KUB is normal, Usg shows small renal cortical cyst and tiny calcific foci, features suggestive of pyelonephritis. Dr. gave me IV ceftriaxone for 10 days. Pain is still there after 2 days of treatment.What should i do for the cortical cyst ?

Male | 25

You have been experiencing pain in your left abdomen and have undergone treatment for pyelonephritis. An imaging scan showed that a small renal cyst slightly off the cortex in the kidney is the possible cause of some of your symptoms. Briefly, such cysts are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they grow or cause symptoms. In your situation, please continue to receive the necessary treatment for the infection, and they will also check the cyst to be sure it is not causing any inconvenience.

11 days ago I transplant kidney but urine follows very slow. Kidney are ok but kidney under one Mali light damage this is recovery possible

Male | 53

Slow urine flow often follows kidney transplants. The surgery or swelling may slightly harm and constrict the flow. Consume lots of fluids, which aids in smooth drainage. Usually, this issue resolves naturally during recovery. However, if the problem persists, visit a nephrologist.

Cardiac or diabetes and issues is proteinurea

Male | 67

If someone is having problems with their heart or diabetes and is also having protein in their urine, this may mean there could be damage to the kidneys. The signs of this illness are the puffiness of the body, the appearance of bubble-like urine, and the presence of hypertension. This can be caused by increased sugar levels or high blood pressure in the blood. Eat healthy, control your blood sugar, and take medication as directed.
