Question 1

I had a kidney function blood test yesterday and my results were: serum creatinine 0.9 mg/dl, BUN 10.16 mg/dl, uric acid 2.7 mg/dl, and calcium 9.34 mg/dl. I noticed that my uric acid level is below the normal range. Should I be worried about this or is it something that needs treatment? I also had a nephrectomy on my left kidney when I was born, so Im wondering if this could be related to that.

Question 2

I have a 16mm stone in my left kidney and a 6mm stone in my right kidney. Is it possible to remove them without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Ive had 2 or 3 urine infections and had a kidney stone last year. I got a urine test done recently, and theres no bacteria present, but Im wondering if everything is in the normal range. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Based on your history of recurrent urine infections and a kidney stone last year, it is important to monitor your urine parameters closely. A normal urine test should not show any bacteria present. To prevent further infections, you can consider taking cranberry supplements or D-mannose powder to help maintain urinary tract health. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about prescribing you with a low-dose antibiotic such as Nitrofurantoin to take after intercourse or as a prophylactic treatment. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney health and prevent future complications.

Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.
