quinine bisulphate and CKD
It is not recommended, as one side effect is stated to be possible
renal
failure
. Why then, I wonder, was I prescribed it many moons ago at 50 (I am now 81) when I was already at least Stage 2?

Can I Live A Normal Life With FSGS
FSGS is the common cause leading to large amounts of urine protein, also is the important reason of causing
renal
failure
. It threats our health in a great degree. If I have FSGS, can I live a normal life?

PLENADREN and insulin suppression test
Hello, Is there anyone on Plenadren? I am having the most debilitating problems with my adrenals which blood tests and synacthen test seem to confirm but endocrinologist seems scared of treating me. Also said insulin suppression test is the GOLD STANDAND but that it is also dangerous. Anyone had a good

Chronic kidney disease stage 3
Hi everyone I'm a bit confused as usual (lol). I went back through my paper work after reading a post on here last week about chronic kidney disease. In one of my blood tests about 1.5 years ago, I noted I was stage 3 CKD. I didn't know anything about it it and neither the doctor or the specialist has

Should an ultrasound of the kidneys be excruciatingly painful?
I'm worried, I can't help it, even since my
renal
failure
from 2012 I worry that it could happen again, and the fact that no one keeps an eye on my kidneys despite that makes me worry more. Can anyone tell me if this pain is normal and nothing to worry about? Thanks

Does anyone know what Acute kidney injury on CKD means, my renal consultant put this on my letter to my Doctor.
I was referred for a KUB ultrasound scan, which showed several cortisol cysts. I saw my renal consultant at the end off December, who advised me about my diet and said he would see me again in four to six weeks, I had an appointment in March, which has since been delayed until April, i am a bit worried

Should an ultrasound be painful?
I'm really paranoid about my kidneys because have twice gone in to
renal
failure
with no explanation, yet the Drs do not routinely check them or anything. Does anyone know why my kidneys might have hurt, or have had a similar experience?

Does anyone here have kidney problems, I'm nervous about tomorrow's results...
I got seen quickly (having been in
renal
failure
twice before), but the Dr looked at me like I was a crazy person. He was fairly dismissive and repeated the test results, but when I handed him the latest sample he looked shocked, and said it couldn't be normal.

Diary of a Benefit Scrounger. The problem with bigots is.... Posted: 13 Feb 2014 12:20 PM PST The problem with lung disease is, you kind of have to breathe. At least a bit regularly. And the problem with heart failure is hearts can't really fail. They're just not optional. The problem with bowel

Worried I may never feel well again?
I know I'm lucky because I didn't get bacterial meningitis, but unusually, this second time, I was particularly unwell because of neurological changes and I spent a fortnight in hospital on anti-viral medication and in
renal
failure
, and to be honest, I have never really fully recovered.

Another pointless appointment...
I don't see the point in fighting anymore, maybe they'll listen the next time I end up in hospital with
renal
failure
and meningitis type symptoms for the 3rd time....
