When getting a blood test, it may show if someone has too much 'NIC' in their system. This happens when people eat too many things with salt or if their kidneys are not working well. If you feel thirsty and tired all the time, or if your feet and legs swell up - those could be signs that something is wrong because of too much 'NIC'.

Female | 66

Swelling in the kidney can stem from various factors, such as infection, fluid accumulation, or structural abnormalities. Symptoms might include back pain, changes in urination, or swelling in your legs. It’s crucial to address this with a healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation and management. They may recommend imaging studies or blood tests to identify the underlying cause. Don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion if you feel your concerns aren't being addressed. Your health is important, and ensuring clear communication with your doctor will help guide you toward the best treatment options.

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.

Female | 23

According to the information, you underwent some medical tests and the feedback indicated a slightly higher creatinine level and a high urea nitrogen content. These are mechanisms that are directly related to kidney function. Symptoms can include feeling tired, swelling, and stenosis. Diarrhea, urine smell, and hair loss are some of the side effects of whey protein can cause too. The causes can be dehydration, certain medications, or kidney issues. You should ask a nephrologist for advice about what to do next.

I am 16 years old and I have kidney pain for 3 days. What is the reason??

Male | 16 years old

Experiencing discomfort in your kidneys can arise from various factors, such as dehydration, a urinary tract infection, or even kidney stones. It’s important to watch for additional signs like changes in urination, fever, or persistent pain. Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can help. However, since you've been in pain for three days, I strongly encourage you to seek medical attention. A nephrologist can accurately diagnose the issue and provide the appropriate treatment to help you feel better.

I am a kidney patient GFR61 and creatinine 1.08 level CKD stage 2 now Can my kidney function improve and can my kidneys get cured completely and recover without any side effects and without any further damage by Homeopathic medicines and treatment faster

Female | 70

In CKD stage 2, the kidney function is low and can be controlled. Homeopathy may relieve symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and high blood pressure. Still, full cure and recovery without side effects are not a warranty. To keep your kidneys safe, drink water, eat a healthy diet, and take your doctor's advice.

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.

Hello Doctor, My grandmother age is 72. She has Diabetes, BP, urinary tract infection. Recently, a mild cyst found in her kidney through CT Scan. 15 days ago, her condition went serious and we joined her In hospital. Her sugar levels were 600mg/dl. Doctors treated her and dropped her sugar levels to normal. Now, she is mentally not stable and taking full bed rest. She is unable to stand or sit on her own. She is able to recognise all of us and can eat or drink on her own. But she is very week and mentally disturbed so much. She talks unrelated. Please suggest what treatment we should take for her. Thank you doctor.

Your grandmother faced challenging times. Her health conditions recently caused worries. Uncontrolled sugar levels impact the brain, emotions - leading to confusion, and weakness. A kidney cyst may add stress too. Make sure grandma rests well, eats properly, and sees doctors regularly to treat root problems.

The patient has had liver cirrhosis since 2012 and also has a kidney stone measuring 20-22 mm. Due to the size of the stone, the kidney has been affected. However, doctors are hesitant to treat the kidney stone due to the liver condition. Could you please provide advice on how to proceed?

Female | 45

A big stone probably means that the kidneys will start producing a lot of blood alongside urine. Besides, those stones can cause blockage of the ureter, thus, enlargement of the kidney. Therefore, risks that come together with a liver consisting should be pointed out and discussed with a nephrologist to take advice that would help the patient handle both liver and kidney problems proficiently.

I've test kidney function test all the parameters are in normal range except uric acid that is 7.9 mg/dl, and I want to take creatine supplement should i take it. (And before KFT test I had have ate fish and high purine food).

Male | 20

Your UA climb was up to 7.9mg/dl and you are considering using creatine. With higher UA comes greater chances for gout, a condition marked by pain and swelling in the joints. You should not take any creatine supplement right now while still eating fish and other high-purine foods since this would elevate your UA even further. To help decrease its level, stick with those things lower in purines.

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.

Female | 20

High creatinine levels and protein leaking into your urine are signs of kidney disease. If you combine these symptoms with the medication you have been prescribed for hypertension it could mean that what you are suffering from is called ‘proteinuria’ which affects only the kidneys. Make sure to see a nephrologist who can examine them further. They will be able to advise on how best this should be treated according to your condition.

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.

Stone formation in the kidney can cause pain in the back, groin, or lower abdomen, nausea, and blood in the urine. Insufficient drinking water and particular diet habits can bring about the development of stones. Drinking enough water, not eating foods that are high in oxalates such as spinach, nuts, and chocolate, and getting professional advice are among the key points for further treatment.
