Nephrology

I am 31 years old male, since childhood functional dyspepsia/ bowel disease, can't eat many food , have to follow low FODMAP diet. But due to some important work I had to eat outside food once, then severe diarrhoea and vomiting and then urine production less than 50 ml/ day. Creatinine 8.31 and urea 156, inspite of admitting hospital within 6 hours .Then after admission For 3 days no increase of urine output so 4 times hemodialysis is given and after 21 days creatinine became 0.79 and urea 17.8 . Urine output 1.5 Litre / day. Now my question is ,now my kidney condition is as before getting renal failure??? Or some damaged is there??

Creatinine is 1.5, PTH is 46, serum calcium is 10.5, vitamin D is 52, microalbumin in urine is 10, urea normal. Last one month onwards I am in vegetarian diet and low salt diet. 3-4lts water per day. Previously creatinine max was 1.3 but now 1.5. I have right renal 3 calculi of size 3mm. Last 20 days onwards taking potassium citrate and magnesium citrate liquid with uromax tab. But Why my creatinine is high?

I want to know if a CT Urography with contrast can show small kidney stones clearly or not?Please Answer

Hello, Recently i got diagnosed with multiple cysts in my left renel.Could you please tell me if any treatment is there, also my phosphorus level is 5 so worrying a bit...

Hi everyone, I’ve been advised to undergo CT Urography both with and without contrast, but I’m concerned about radiation exposure. Since I mostly suspect it’s kidney stones, I’m wondering if there’s a way to reduce the radiation. Would it be possible to first have the non-contrast CT done, then consult with my doctor the following day? If needed, I could then proceed with the contrast CT after the consultation. Alternatively, would it be better to have both scans (with and without contrast) done at the same time?

Hello docs, My mom's potassium level is high from the past few months. Consulted the family doc and took medicines as well. It has gone down below 5 but now again it's 6.17 in recent tests. She gets tired quickly and feels nervous at times . I have noticed foamy urine and then suggested tests and consultation. Later we came to know about this situation. Please suggest..

I requested explain the urin test and Kidney function test is normal eGFR is 90.02 and creatin is 1.05.

I’ve had recurrent urinary infections and intermittent left lower back pain for the past three years. I was consulting a government medical college urologist and now seeing a private urologist, who has advised an abdomen and pelvis CT scan with contrast. Due to breathing issues, I’ve already undergone 5 CT scans and am concerned about further radiation exposure. I understand CT KUB (non-contrast) is best for kidney stones. But can I opt for CT KUB (for stones) + MRI abdomen and pelvis with contrast (for soft tissue evaluation)? Would this approach provide what the doctor needs in more detail, with lower radiation? Or should I proceed with the recommended CT abdomen-pelvis with contrast, as it may offer the most detailed imaging? Looking for professional guidance on whether this alternative is suitable.

I have a kidney creatinine of 6.01.how could I manage my blood pressure without dialysis.please help me

Hi Doctors, I’ve been experiencing lower back pain and I suspect it might be due to a kidney stone. Unfortunately, I can’t undergo a CT scan as I’ve already had multiple chest HRCTs recently. An ultrasound (USG) didn't reveal anything conclusive, and an X-ray can't detect small stones. Are there any other reliable options to detect the size and location of a kidney stone without a CT scan? Can ureteroscopy be used as a diagnostic tool to detect stones near the kidney? If yes, what is the approximate cost for diagnostic ureteroscopy? If not, what alternatives can accurately detect kidney stones in such cases?
