Can a moved fistula bulge be fixed with surgery?

It’s understandable to be concerned about changes in your fistula. If you notice any discomfort, change in shape, or other symptoms like redness, it's important to check it. A vascular surgeon can assess your fistula and determine if any intervention is needed. Even if your current fistula fails, it's possible to create a new one in the same arm after healing. This should be evaluated by your doctor. Please consult your nephrologist or a vascular surgeon for a detailed examination and advice.

Why do my high creatinine levels remain unchanged?

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.

Why do I have albumin in kidneys, fever, pain, hypertension, and diabetes?

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.

I Have Kidney Stones on Both Sides

Kidney stones might develop on one side of the body or both. They are similar to small stones that grow in a person's kidney. Signs include urine containing blood, having a problem urinating, and pain in the back or side. Causes may result from not drinking enough water and eating too much salt. To cure this condition, one may need to take a lot of fluid or use particular drugs; in some cases, an operation might be necessary to remove the stones.

Why is my Creatinine Rising with IGA Nephropathy?

Considering your circumstance with IGA nephropathy, it is usual that creatinine levels may increase as kidney functions get worse. Also, rapid weight loss may affect kidney function. It is good that you are committed to eating right and exercising, but running 3 miles every day could strain your kidneys more. You should talk about these worries with a nephrologist. A further kidney biopsy might be able to tell what is happening to your kidneys now.

What to do about my mother's kidney cyst?

Kidney cysts are comparable to tiny fluid-filled balloons that develop on the kidneys. They are widespread, notably as we grow old. Individuals with kidney cysts display no symptoms and require no treatment. However, if the cysts are painful, infectious, or result in hypertension, your mother needs an experienced nephrologist. In cases where the cysts are problematic, a physician may propose them to be drained off sometimes even surgery might be necessary depending on certain conditions.

Am I at risk with ESRD and hypertension?

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.

Why has my urine output increased suddenly?

Noticing a drastic change in the output of urine by the body is quite essential. It could imply multiple things. Sometimes the intake of liquids and specific foods will make you pass out more waste from your body. However, if these alterations occur without any clear explanation and are accompanied by frequent thirst, it means that you should visit a nephrologist as soon as possible because it might be an indication of an illness such as diabetes or kidney disease.

Should I take creatine with high uric acid?

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.
