A kidney transplant is a major surgery that aids people with kidney problems. Symptoms such as fatigue and sickness might be the signs of kidney problems. The reasons can be illnesses or injuries that damage the kidney. Kidney transplant may be a costly affair as it includes many medical procedures. Nonetheless, some areas might provide free services; still, it is essential to find out more from local healthcare providers.

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.

I had kidney stones. Some are removed with ursl, but there are still some. I had wart or something else on my leg, so the doctor recommended to use salicylic acid bp 40%. I didn't even realize that I should disclose the fact of having issues with kidney thinking what could be the relationship between dermatology and urology. But I am pretty sure I have committed a huge mistake. The acid has probably entered to my kidney and caused something. It is such a painful ? in my back around kidney. I am far away from hospital (remote). Need first aid to get rid of the pain ? (probably some organic base will neutralize it)

Male | 24

Your back pain might be caused by acid affecting your kidney area, which can irritate this sensitive organ. Drinking plenty of water can help reduce the acid, but it's important to see a nephrologist.

ckd progression can stop or slower by taking the medicines

Male | 52

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys don't function properly. Symptoms are fatigue, swollen ankles, and trouble sleeping. CKD can be progressive and it may get worse over time. To delay the effects of the disease you can use the medicines your nephrologist has prescribed. These medications not only help the kidneys but also alleviate the symptoms. It is important to stick to the prescription and follow the right instructions to prevent the drugs from causing more damage to your kidneys.

In a 75-year-old female with a GFR of 8.4, kidney function is severely compromised, and dialysis is usually necessary for survival. Without dialysis, life expectancy can be short, often a few weeks. It's important to consult a nephrologist for proper treatment and guidance.

34years male I have been diagnosed with mild phylonepritis and uti it's been more than months taken antibiotics courses but still having mild to mild pain on left side and having lower back pain too . What to do

Male | 34

The left side and lower back pain you are feeling could be linked to infections. Occasionally, these infections develop resistance and need more care. It's essential to drink a sufficient amount of fluids and rest, as well as keep seeing your nephrologist to ensure everything is fine and to determine if a change of treatment is needed.

Creatinine level increase

Male | 26

An increase in creatinine levels in the blood could indicate that your kidneys are not functioning properly. Symptoms are often not present at the beginning of the disease but as it progresses you can experience tiredness and suffer nausea. Common causes are dysfunction of kidneys, dehydration, and certain medicines. To reduce creatinine levels, it is necessary to drink a lot of water, consume a healthy diet, and take medications as prescribed by a nephrologist.

I m in great problem. Pelvicalyceal system of left kidney is collaspsed calculas at right uretero-vesical junction, resulting obstructive uropathy (size : 4.9 mm) Small calculus within mid polar calyceal complex of right kidney (size : 8.0 mm) Right adrenal lipoma (size : 25.9 mm) and left side testis pain too.

Male | 41

The obstruction in the ureter which is causing the kidney stones can be the reason for the symptoms like pain while urinating, the presence of blood in the urine, or discomfort in the back. Furthermore, the small stone in your right kidney can result in pain as well. On the other hand, the lipoma in your right adrenal gland most probably doesn't cause any symptoms. Testis pain is a symptom that can indicate several different issues. You should consult a nephrologist for the best course of treatment.

Yes I have contacted urologist again but he won't help me with the kidney stones 6mm ,what can I do ?

Female | 73

Suffering 6mm pads can be extremely painful and bring medical complaints like very strong back or side pain, hematuria, and wanting to pee often. The leading causes are dehydration and a diet that is excessive in salt. To facilitate the movement of the stones, you should consume plenty of water, limit your intake of salty foods, and take the medications a nephrologist may recommend. If the pain gets intense, you have to go to the hospital ASAP.

Your right kidney area hurts slightly, and you're going pee often with blood. Possible causes: stones, infections, or inflamed kidneys. To know for sure, see a nephrologist. They'll check your urine and maybe get scans done.

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.

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.

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.
