What type of disease is this symptoms, 1.swollen legs and hands 2.internal joints pain 3.feet and finger pain 4.smelly urine when peeing during swollen legs

Female | 27

Swelling of the legs and hands, painful joints inside your body, and also hurting feet and fingers can be caused by a condition called Rheumatoid Arthritis. The immune system gets confused and starts to attack the joints which are the reasons for the pain and inflammation. Smelly urine during swollen legs might be a sign of kidney problems. Enough water intake and medication are the ways to manage symptoms.

Toilet baar baar aata hai jalan hota hai aur 1 hours me 10 to 15 times urine jaana padta hai left kidney ke 2-3mm stones hai please help me

Female | 24

You could have felt the kidney stones along with a burning/ painful situation during pee. For the larger part, kidneys produce such types of stones that are made up of water, calcium oxalate, and uric acid. Water is the best and first food to flush out these stones, so you should drink a lot of it. If the pain won't go away, visit a nephrologist and go through the advised treatments, if any.

Dr, I was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy 32 years ago. I am 64 years of age and my creatinine is 2.31 and has been hovering around that number. I have lost 124 lbs over the past year with the assistance of Zepbound. My kidneys have not improved and appear to be getting slightly worse. I run 3 miles a day and eat around 1200 calories a day never exceeding my sodium or potassium requirements. I do not have protein or blood in my urine. Please help. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? I am currently In Stage 4 kidney disease. Should I get an updated biopsy since my only biopsy was done in 1992. What can I do? Could the Zepbound be causing my kidneys to worsen? I drink 100 ounces of water daily.

Female | 64

It is concerning that your creatinine levels are rising despite your efforts. IGA nephropathy can progress slowly over time, and factors like age, diet, and medications may influence kidney function. Zepbound's impact on your kidneys should be evaluated by a specialist. I strongly advise you to consult a nephrologist for a thorough assessment and consider getting an updated biopsy to understand the current state of your kidney disease.

Aoa, I m 43 year old male suffering from RENAL FAILURE my reports are as under . Creatinine is 19.4 Urea 218 Hb 8.4 Vomiting Abdominal pain

Male | 43

Your kidneys may not be working properly, leading to high levels of creatinine and urea in your blood. These substances should be filtered out by the kidneys but are staying in your bloodstream, causing symptoms like fatigue, low hemoglobin, vomiting, and abdominal pain. To start feeling better, you may need treatments like dialysis and medications to lower these levels. Renal failure is a serious condition, so it's important to follow a nephrologist's guidance for proper management.

UTIs are no fun, causing burning, frequent urination, and fatigue. They can become tricky after multiple infections. Great your urologist is exploring options. Drinking lots of water, staying clean, and following doctor's orders help.

I am 72 years.recenly kidney function test blood report I found my creatinine level is 1.61 and egfr is 43.i do not have any kidney problem as such.In 2019 I undergone angioplasty in Jupiter hospital.and that time my creatinine level was 1.6 and you had given me the medicine Reno save and the level came down

Male | 72

Your creatinine level is a bit above normal and your eGFR is a bit below normal. These are not a big deal and can occur due to age or some health problems in the past like angioplasty. It may not be visible in the beginning. Thus, living a healthy lifestyle such as eating well, drinking enough water, and making regular doctor visits can greatly assist your kidneys.

Experiencing an unusual odor in urine can have various causes, such as dehydration, dietary factors, or infections. It’s essential to stay well-hydrated and consider the foods you consume, like asparagus or certain spices, which can affect scent. If this persists or is accompanied by discomfort, frequent urination, or any other worrisome symptoms, I encourage you to consult with a nephrologist for a thorough evaluation.

My creatinine is 1.0 still from 2 months

Male | 34

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.

I am a 64 year old female who was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy in 1992. I am now Stage 4. My creatinine hovers around 2.38 and my GFR is 23. I do not have protein spillage or blood in my urine. I have lost 124 lbs over the last 12 months with the assistance of Zepbound? Please help me understand what is causing my Creatinine to continue to rise? Could the Zepbound be causing this? I eat 1200 calories a day and stay within my sodium and potassium goals. I run 3 miles a day. But my kidneys are continuing to worsen. Please help me understand what else I can do. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? Should I get another kidney biopsy since my last biopsy was 32 years ago? Thank you so much for your help.

Female | 64

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.

Sometimes when I’m in a certain position and I cough or laugh hard my kidney will have a quick sharp pain. It has happened twice today and I noticed it about a month ago I would say but it’s not often. Should I be concerned about this? It is giving me anxiety.

Female | 18

You may have "referred pain" from kidneys. Sometimes, coughing or laughing hard moves kidneys slightly, causing sharp pain. This could be a kidney stone or muscle strain near the kidney. To ease anxiety, drink water and avoid motions triggering pain. If pain continues or worsens, contact a nephrologist for evaluation.

My GFR rate is 58. 73 years old. I was prescribed Herperax 800 for 5 days 4 tablets each. Whether the kidney would have been affected and if so, how long will it take to recover to original position

Male | 73

A GFR level of 58 indicates that you are in Stage 3 kidney disease. Herperax 800 has kidney side effects. Kidney problems may be indicated by the urine output changes and the swelling. To help your kidneys recover, drink plenty of water, avoid medications that harm your kidneys, and follow up with your doctor for monitoring. It can take time for the kidneys to improve, but following these steps can help.

Male | 56

Your dad has tough skin issues; those itchy blisters bursting constantly. It happens when kidneys don't work right, common in severe chronic kidney disease. Poorly functioning kidneys cause such symptoms. To ease the itch and prevent new blisters, keeping skin clean and moisturized is key. Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps, and apply soothing creams. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a nephrologist for evaluation and treatment options.

I'm a 21 year old female. Last year in April I had severe lower abdominal pain, went to a few doctors and turns out I had urine infection and kidney concretions, according to doctors they were very minor and they asked me to drink plenty of water to flush it out. I drank more than 3 litres of water everyday but still kinda didn't work, as I was still feeling pain on both sides of my kidneys. My stomach was upset all the time, either diarrhea or constipation. Then I consulted a homeopathic consultant, and he gave me medicines to flush out those concretions, the pain was a lot less now so I stopped his medications in November 2024 which was almost 4 months of taking homeopathic medicines. That homeopathic doctor asked me not to eat rice, spinach, tomatoes and beef. I started eating all this after I stopped his medications, in December I ate beef and the pain in my kidneys started again. Now I really don't know what to do? Is this really a kidney issue or I should get whole abdominal ultrasound to know what's wrong? And which specialist to consult for all this? My stomach doesn't feel right at all whenever I eat tomatoes and beef. My stools are stiffer and not so easy to pass. Please gimme an honest advise.

Female | 21

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.

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.

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.
