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.

Accepted Answer

Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone. Avoid foods high in oxalates such as spinach, beets, and nuts, as they can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. As for the abnormal blood test results, your elevated WBC count and low MCHC may indicate an infection. It would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment if deemed necessary. You can request your doctor to prescribe moderate to strong painkillers to achieve relief from pain.

Question 4

Hi sir/madam, Today, my father had kidney tests and the results showed a creatinine level of 1.7. The doctor advised immediate admission for dialysis and treatment. Can you please explain what this means and how we can manage or improve his condition?

Accepted Answer

Creatinine level of 1.7 indicates impaired kidney function. Dialysis is a common treatment for kidney failure to help remove waste and excess fluid from the blood. Your father may need regular dialysis sessions to support his kidney function. In addition to dialysis, medications such as Furosemide and Erythropoietin may be prescribed to manage symptoms and improve kidney function. It is important for your father to follow a low-salt diet, stay hydrated, and attend regular medical check-ups. Follow your doctor's advice closely for the best outcome.

Accepted Answer

To monitor the progression of your son's hydronephrosis with PUJ obstruction, your doctor may recommend regular ultrasound scans (every 3-6 months) to assess kidney function, drainage, and signs of deterioration; additionally, nuclear medicine studies like MAG3 or DMSA scans may be performed to evaluate kidney function and obstruction; surgery is often recommended for PUJ obstruction to prevent long-term kidney damage, but the timing depends on the severity of the obstruction, kidney function, and your child's overall health
