Can I Use Creatine with Kidney Stones?

Having a kidney stone might mean creatine isn't safe. Kidney stones can cause your back or side - and sometimes your belly - to hurt. They're normally a group of minerals or salts stuck together in the kidneys. By taking creatine, you could potentially make kidney stones more painful because it adds stress to your kidneys. Get advice from a nephrologist before starting creatine if you have kidney stones.

Why is my creatinine 1.0 for 2 months?

A creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL is generally considered within a normal range for most adults. It's important to note that several factors can influence these numbers, including hydration, diet, and muscle mass. Symptoms to watch for include fatigue, swelling, or changes in urination. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and monitoring your blood pressure can support kidney health. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns, it’s wise to consult a nephrologist. Regular check-ups will help you stay informed and ensure your kidneys are functioning well.

Why Do I Have Kidney Pain at 16?

Experiencing discomfort in your kidneys can arise from various factors, such as dehydration, a urinary tract infection, or even kidney stones. It’s important to watch for additional signs like changes in urination, fever, or persistent pain. Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can help. However, since you've been in pain for three days, I strongly encourage you to seek medical attention. A nephrologist can accurately diagnose the issue and provide the appropriate treatment to help you feel better.

Why is protein appearing in my urine?

Protein presence in urine, especially when other tests are normal, can occur due to various reasons, such as mild kidney stress, dehydration, or even specific dietary factors. The presence of bubbles often suggests gas or air in urine, which can also relate to diet or concentration of urine. While your reports are generally normal, it’s essential to consult a nephrologist to explore these findings further, particularly if you notice changes in symptoms. They can provide a comprehensive assessment and guidance tailored to your situation.

Why is my kidney pain persisting despite treatment?

Given your history of kidney stones and ongoing discomfort, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. An abdominal ultrasound can provide valuable insights. If certain foods are triggering your symptoms, keep a food diary to identify patterns. You might consider seeing a urologist for kidney-related issues or a gastroenterologist for digestive concerns. Maintaining hydration remains crucial. Remember, seeking timely medical advice can help you find the right approach to manage your health effectively.

Experiencing Kidney Stone Pain Standing? Recurring Issue?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to kidney stones, such as discomfort particularly when standing. This pain could arise from stones moving within the urinary tract. While previous treatment may have provided relief, stones can recur. Staying well-hydrated can help, as it may facilitate stone passage. Incorporating a balanced diet low in sodium and oxalates may also be beneficial. However, for persistent pain or if symptoms worsen, I recommend consulting a nephrologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan.
