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.

Sir I am facing swelling in kidney area what could be the reason for it?
Female | 16
The question of whether your kidneys are swollen should be considered. Symptoms can vary, including a sensation of stomach bloating or difficulty urinating. It is reasonable to suspect a kidney infection might be the cause. Therefore, drink plenty of water and consult a nephrologist. The doctor may prescribe medications or other treatments.

I am 20 years old female. I have high creatinine levels in my blood/urine. Leakage of protein I am on blood pressure tablets Ramipril 2.5mg I have this condition for 3 years and have not seen hardly any changes. I want to see someone who is an expertise in this field of kidneys
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 took albendezol zentle syrup for two times over a period of 15 days without prescription. Does it shows any effect to my kidneys
Male | 20
You need to have the doctor's consent before using albendazole zentle syrup to keep off the danger since its rogue consumption may not be good for your kidneys. Kidneys may show some of these symptoms of damage: swelling, lack of urine production, and fatigue. This is because the drug is inactive in the liver-forming the kidneys. The session is to come off the syrup and undergo a kidney health examination with the help of a nephrologist.

I am a 31 year-old male. I think I had food poisoning last friday night. I had stomach aches, vomited like 3 times but also my urine was brown-ish and what felt like my right kidney hurt. After ~14hrs of rest most of the symptoms were gone and by monday i felt as good as new and returned to eat normally. This morning I woke up with that kidney pain again. Should I go see a doctor or or will this get better by itself?
Male | 31
It sounds like you had a tough time last week with food poisoning. If you're noticing brownish urine and pain in your right kidney, it could be a sign of a kidney infection. This can return without proper treatment, so it's best to see a nephrologist for an examination and the right medication to help you recover.

Female | 75
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.

5mm stone left renal calculus and there is hard pain in kidney
Male | 25
A 5mm kidney stone in your left side can cause severe pain. Urine minerals gather and create the stone. Intense, stabbing pain may spread to your back or abdomen. Drink lots of water to help flush out the stone. Your nephrologist might give medicine to ease pain and help the stone pass more easily. In some cases, they may do a procedure to break up or remove the stone. Follow your doctor's advice carefully to manage the pain and get rid of that stone.

Do I go back to the Calcuri tab at the same dose?
Male | 21
Your symptoms of back pain, urine burning, and general weakness are likely due to the kidney stone. I suggest you to keep on taking Calcury tablets as the BAMS doctor prescribed you. Stay well-hydrated and eat a balanced diet. If these symptoms last or worsen, it's vital to get medical help.

What type of disease is this symptoms, 1.swollen legs and hands 2.internal joints pain 3.feet and finger pain 4.smelly urine when peeing during swollen legs
Female | 27
Swelling of the legs and hands, painful joints inside your body, and also hurting feet and fingers can be caused by a condition called Rheumatoid Arthritis. The immune system gets confused and starts to attack the joints which are the reasons for the pain and inflammation. Smelly urine during swollen legs might be a sign of kidney problems. Enough water intake and medication are the ways to manage symptoms.

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.

These health issues you have might be due to lessened kidney functionality. One of the causes might be chronic kidney disease. Visit your healthcare provider to talk to him about the treatment plan, and what measures can be taken before there is a need for the intervention. A nephrologist is capable of controlling your disease.

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.

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.

Male | 24
The foamy pee, burning when you pee, and constant back pain could mean a kidney issue. High creatinine level signifies kidney troubles. These symptoms could result from an infection, kidney stones, or a more severe kidney condition. It's crucial to visit your urologist soon to identify the cause and get proper treatment. You may need to see a nephrologist, a kidney specialist, for further evaluation and care.

Kidney stone problam i have 3more stones
Male | 31
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.

Blood urea nitrogen levels can be a sign that the kidneys are not working as expected. This could be caused by various reasons such as dehydration, kidney disease, or certain medications. Common symptoms of kidney malfunctions are lack of energy, swelling, or alterations in the amount and color of urine. See nephrologist for further testing and get the treatment you need soon.

I have 5.5mm kidney stone lower pole left kidney asymptomatic... What to do
Male | 29
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.
