After having the dye I had to drink plenty of fluid for a few days. My earlier blood test indicated my kidney function was

Left pain above left hip?
I have had IBS for several years. Have had a sigmoidectomy over 30 years ago. Since January my bm's have been normal to constipation. For several year's I took bentyl and due to circumstances quit taking it. I now have pain like a side cramp from running. It goes around my back, to the front of my abdomen

Goat whey, casein, IGF-1 etc. - Do they promote or slow cancer growth?
I've been trying for many years to decide whether to take a protein powder supplement to help maintain muscle mass. Since I started on ADT in 2016, I've lost 30 pounds. I don't know how much is due to the ADT, and how much is due to my diet. I'm 172 pounds now. I was muscular and athletic at 202,

Elevated creatinine from tacrolimus?
I am 19 months out from my kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Was doing well and my creatinine was actually within the normal range at about a year post transplant. However, since then my creatinine has been creeping up and now is 1.74. Have tried lowering my protein intake, and more hydration

Just found out I need a kidney transplant
Hello, I just found out I need a kidney transplant. I developed kidney disease from taking a medicine that scarred and damaged my kidneys and they’ve just gotten worse and worse. After a biopsy, we discovered that my kidneys are even worse than the numbers show. I am so overwhelmed. My mom could possibly

Struggling with outcome of Rheumy Consultation
I don't react well to stetoids and due to my heart
failure
and reduced
kidney
function I'm also unable to take anti-inflammatories long term. Imagine my disappointment on hearing the consultant say there's nothing he can do for me.

My eGFR has increased nearly 20 points (74) and creatinine decreased to .83. No protein in urine and sodium, potassium, phosphorus, albumin (as well as other parameters) are all exceptional!

Kidney Transplant help
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. I got a call from a gentleman who’s been trying to test as a living donor for me. Mayo Clinic has approved him. We are so excited, grateful, thankful, humbled and yet nervous at the same time. ****Can anyone tell me what they have experienced

If you don't know the cause of your
kidney
disease, and others in your family have had
kidney
disease/

, get genetic testing at the Wake Forest Institute for free. Several people in my family tree died of

. Now I know why!

Otelza Drug for Plaque Psoriasis
Hi all, just a quick question. Not PMR but for another AI disease. Has anyone come across or have experience of using Otelza (Apremilast, Aplex)? An earlier post got me thinking as my daughter has just been diagnosed (maybe) with Palmoplantar Pustulosis Psoriasis. I thought she might be put on Methotrexate

Liver Disease Reversal
Seen in the Daily Mail today British designed dialysis machine can be used on liver patients and appears to reverse the disease doing away with the need for a transplant. It should be available in three years. There isn’t too much information such as what stage of the disease has it been successful
