Questions & Answers on "Nephrologist" (134)

I'm Phil. It's been 12 days since I passed my 4mm kidney stone, and the pain has not gone away. I've had abdominal pain for the last month, sometimes around the bladder, right kidney, left kidney, and recently higher in the chest (on a pain scale of 2/10 to 6/10). It's always been on/off at random times throughout the day, but in the past week it's getting worse/more noticeable/more frequent. I think it temporarily goes away after I eat. I took a new CT urogram and my urologist says nothing is wrong with anything in my urinary tract. No more stones, no infection in my urine test, no swelling anywhere. I just started the antibiotic Bactrim, and extra strength Tylenol just kinda works. Ever since I got diagnosed with a kidney stone, I've been drinking tons of water, maybe 3L/day, and my diet is now low sugar/low salt/low oxalates/low caffeine, and I've lost like 5 lbs. My doctor and reddit threads say it's residual pain, but it should've left after 1-2 days. What could be causing this pain?

It sounds like you're experiencing persistent discomfort after passing your kidney stone. This residual pain can sometimes linger as underlying muscle spasms or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your recent CT scan and urine tests came back normal, it’s not likely an infection or stones. The changes in your diet and hydration are excellent steps. Continue monitoring your symptoms, and consider discussing your pain management options with the nephrologist. If the discomfort worsens or other symptoms develop, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice.

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.

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.

Dr, I was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy 32 years ago. I am 64 years of age and my creatinine is 2.31 and has been hovering around that number. I have lost 124 lbs over the past year with the assistance of Zepbound. My kidneys have not improved and appear to be getting slightly worse. I run 3 miles a day and eat around 1200 calories a day never exceeding my sodium or potassium requirements. I do not have protein or blood in my urine. Please help. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? I am currently In Stage 4 kidney disease. Should I get an updated biopsy since my only biopsy was done in 1992. What can I do? Could the Zepbound be causing my kidneys to worsen? I drink 100 ounces of water daily.

Female | 64

It is concerning that your creatinine levels are rising despite your efforts. IGA nephropathy can progress slowly over time, and factors like age, diet, and medications may influence kidney function. Zepbound's impact on your kidneys should be evaluated by a specialist. I strongly advise you to consult a nephrologist for a thorough assessment and consider getting an updated biopsy to understand the current state of your kidney disease.

My father is suffering from CKD stage V now my USG report is showing ADPKD MY question is i recently joined gym for my body transformation fat to fit for that goal i have to eat 2 grams per body weight of protein is it good for my kidney also i want to add creatine supplement can i add that supplement

Male | 24

The function of the kidneys worsens when you eat large amounts of protein, and the kidney problems become more severe. The extremely high rates of creatine supplements can make the kidneys unable to function properly. Before you start any regimen, consult with your doctor to figure out the best approach that is right for your body.
