Why Are My Kidneys Failing at 43?

Your kidneys may not be working properly, leading to high levels of creatinine and urea in your blood. These substances should be filtered out by the kidneys but are staying in your bloodstream, causing symptoms like fatigue, low hemoglobin, vomiting, and abdominal pain. To start feeling better, you may need treatments like dialysis and medications to lower these levels. Renal failure is a serious condition, so it's important to follow a nephrologist's guidance for proper management.

How to Manage 5.5mm Asymptomatic Kidney Stone?

A small stone in your left kidney, which isn't causing any symptoms, seems manageable. These tiny stones form when minerals stick together. Often, they'll pass on their own without causing any trouble. Keep drinking water regularly, cut back on salty snacks, and consult your nephrologist for advice.

Can meditation help my CKD creatinine progression at 1.88?

CKD patients with constantly rising levels of creatinine are a concern that can cause fear. This could be the case of some factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or even medication problems. It is vital to strictly adhere to the nephrologist's advice, adopt a strict kidney-friendly diet, control blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and drink enough water. Your nephrologist may require you to change your medications or suggest dialysis.

Could my recent biopsy results indicate nephrotic syndrome at 20?

The biopsy results can be interpreted that you may have some changes in your kidneys. The findings suggest that there is a thickening in the walls of some blood vessels and areas of fibrosis. These alterations can be attributed to a condition called xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. This condition is mostly caused by a severe kidney infection. Proper treatment may involve the use of antibiotics and close monitoring of a nephrologist to manage the condition.

Can I improve kidney function with high creatinine level?

Your creatinine level is a bit above normal and your eGFR is a bit below normal. These are not a big deal and can occur due to age or some health problems in the past like angioplasty. It may not be visible in the beginning. Thus, living a healthy lifestyle such as eating well, drinking enough water, and making regular doctor visits can greatly assist your kidneys.

Why do I have urine infection with pus cells?

Finding pus and epithelial cells in urine could indicate an infection. Symptoms of this condition may include a burning sensation when urinating, having a frequent need to urinate but passing only small amounts of urine, cloudy or strong-smelling urine. This bacterium could have been introduced into the urinary tract by drinking a lot of water or taking antibiotics as prescribed by your nephrologist.

Managing multiple kidney stones

A sharp pain in your side might signal kidne­y stones. Back or abdominal discomfort occurs, too, with pain during urination. Risk factors include dehydration, salty die­t choices, and genetic pre­disposition. Drinking ample water preve­nts stone formation. Lifestyle adjustme­nts plus medical guidance facilitate the­ passing of any existing stones bothering you.

What should I do for my renal cortical cyst?

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.
