Female | 13

Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) is a rare genetic disease affecting the eyes. Sometimes, it can also cause kidney issues. There's no therapy yet to cure LCA-affected kidneys. Talk to your daughter's doctor to manage her kidney health. They'll help with the right treatment plan.

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.

Result is triglycerides 299 and stpt 52 .for that i am taking homeopathy medicine, after two days i have two practical exam and stressed a lot during exam. During those days i have seen first time that urine is foamy and till now only sometimes morning time foam is more other times only few times. What is the main cause any issue it is related to kidney? Or it is just temporary due to stress factor?

Male | 32

This could be due to several factors, like kidney issues or stress affecting the kidneys, causing temporary foamy urine. High triglycerides and STPT levels also need attention. Consulting a nephrologist will help you get the right assessment and advice.

I'm 22 years old female "I got a urine test done and the results showed amber-colored urine with positive turbidity, RBC, WBC, pus, mucus, hemoglobin, ketones, and squamous epithelial cells. I also got a contrast CT KUB done which came out normal, and a urine culture which was also normal. Today, I collected my morning urine in a container and when I touched it with my finger, I felt a white creamy substance. Now, my morning urine is milky and throughout the day, I see tiny bubbles in my urine that disappear quickly. If I drink water, I urinate every 10 minutes, three times, and each time I see tiny bubbles in my urine that form and disappear quickly. I don't have sugar and my urine culture is normal. What's the problem?"

Female | 22

It looks as though your signs may have something to do with some different reasons, like dehydration or what you are eating. Bubbles can indicate space in the urine or low protein levels that usually go with fluids. If it's not the color, but it's the clarity, then the urine looks suspicious. Dark urine, cloudiness, and substances like milk suggest problems with the urinary system. Yay to the clear points from the CT scan and urine culture, but just to be on the safe side, I would advise a follow-up visit to a urologist.

My mother is a chronic kidney disease patient, with creatinine levels fluctuating between 3 and 5.5. Her feet swell if she consumes raw salt directly, but the swelling only occurs in one foot at a time. Her hemoglobin levels are stable. Occasionally, she experiences electrolyte imbalances, which happen about once a year. She also faces recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Her blood pressure is 130/85, but during winter, it can rise to 190/100, although this happens for a maximum of 1-2 days.

Female | 55

Your mother's creatinine levels indicate that her kidney operation needs to be carefully managed. If feet are swollen, especially after salt intake, say 'fluid retention', which can be seen in kidney disease, is the main problem. Hemoglobin, which varies, is a good sign, but her history of urinary infections and occasional electrolyte issues necessitates deeper examination. The temporary increases in blood pressure might be caused by stress or other environmental factors. It is essential to watch her diet, reduce salt intake, and hydrate properly. I suggest scheduling regular check-ups with a nephrologist to explain her condition and regulate medication with a healthcare professional who can provide customized care
