Kindeny stone doctor advice

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

We are providing general information since your query isn't much elaborate, and may be our knowledge will help you out, so read ahead.

 

  • For small stones that present with mild symptoms:
    • Only pain relievers, medications and lifestyle modifications will be enough.
       
  • But for bigger stones with extreme/moderate symptoms, you may have to use surgery or minimally invasive treatments to remove stones, such as:
    • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, where sound wave is used to break stones.
    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, which involves surgical removal through incisions.
    • Ureteroscope, thin tube-like equipment carrying camera which will help locate stones so that other tools can be used to remove them.
    • Parathyroid gland surgery, which is used to treat phosphate stones are caused by overactive parathyroid glands.
       
  • No matter what kind of stones you have, we advise:
    • Drinking a lot of water if this is the case.
    • Having a proper diet that is low in salt/animal protein/calcium - but this depends on the type of stones you have.
      Find dieticians - Dietitian/Nutritionists.

 

Discuss details such as your present/past health, family history of diseases, as well as your current medications & supplements.

For nephrologists - Nephrologists.

 

Apart from stone composition/location/symptoms produced by them, there's no other criterion to qualify for any treatment mentioned above, but do discuss the risks these surgeries/treatments can carry, and their correction procedures/compensation, as well as experience with past patients and success rate.

 

For location-specific requirements to find doctors, or any other doubt, do drop us a message anytime you want!

I want to sell my kidney

Male | 25

It's important to know that selling kidney is illegal and unsafe. The sale of organs is prohibited because it can lead to serious health risks for both the donor and the recipient. In fact, there are ethical concerns about exploiting vulnerable individuals for organ donation. If you are in need of financial assistance, there are other legal and safer options available. I recommend reaching out to social services or financial counseling services for support.

My wife is 39 years old suffering from CKD.Her cretanine pevel is 6.4

Female | 39

Your wife is likely to be getting symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, and trouble breathing if the creatinine level is 6.4. This could be from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which is when the kidneys get damaged. To help manage this, she needs to follow a low-salt diet, take the prescribed medications, and possibly undergo dialysis. It's vital to ensure that her condition is stable by doing regular check-ups.

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.

CAN I TRANSPLANT MY KIDNEY FOR FREE?

Male | 54

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.

I can sell my kidney I need money

Male | 25

I understand that you're feeling the financial strain, but selling a kidney is not a safe or legal way to solve money problems. Our bodies need both kidneys to function properly. You see, kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste and excess fluids from our blood. If you were to sell one, you'd be putting your health at serious risk. Instead of considering such drastic measures, I recommend seeking support from financial advisors or local resources that can help you manage your finances better. There are also organizations that provide assistance during tough times.

Dialysis patient in one years

Male | 34

For a dialysis patient unwell for a year, it’s important to stay alert to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate the dialysis isn’t working effectively. This can happen due to missed treatments, not taking medications, or poor diet choices. It's essential to consult the dialysis team to address these issues and adjust the treatment plan for better health.

Sorry to hear that your mother is struggling with her health issues. Protein in the urine, stomach discomfort, high blood pressure, and diabetes are notable ailments. Her kidney problems can also be explained by these symptoms. Your mother must go to the hospital as fast as possible to receive a proper diagnosis and a treatment plan. Please arrange an appointment with a health professional.

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.

Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description

Male | 30

A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.
