Question 1

I have a 5mm kidney stone and also have PCOD. My ED is 21mm. My weight is 63kg, and Im 51 tall, with irregular periods. Im really concerned about how to manage all of this. The doctor told me to lose weight, but Im not sure if thats enough. Could there be any serious underlying issues? How can I overcome this?

Accepted Answer

A 5mm kidney stone can often pass with increased water intake (3-4 liters/day). PCOD and irregular periods improve significantly with weight loss, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. Losing 5-7% of your body weight can regulate periods and reduce complications. It's not serious yet, but consistent effort is key!

Question 2

My serum creatinine level is 1.13 is everything normal? I got the measurements last week . Please do help me

Accepted Answer

Your serum creatinine level of 1.13 mg/dL is within the normal range for adults. The normal range for serum creatinine is approximately 0.6 to 1.3 mg/dL for males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL for females. It is an important indicator of kidney function. To maintain healthy kidney function, it is important to stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and avoid excessive intake of medications that can harm the kidneys. If you have any concerns about your kidney health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Recurring UTI symptoms despite antibiotic treatment, including norflox, suggest a possible underlying issue, such as antibiotic resistance, incomplete treatment, or an underlying anatomical or functional abnormality; consider consulting a urologist

Accepted Answer

Before the kidney transplant, you will need to undergo a series of tests to ensure that you are healthy enough for the procedure. This includes blood tests, imaging tests, and a thorough physical examination. As a donor, you will also need to follow a specific preparation regimen before the surgery. After the transplant, you will be prescribed immunosuppressant medications to prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney. Common medications include Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate, and Prednisone. The dosage and frequency of these medications will be determined by your transplant team based on your individual needs. It's important to follow your healthcare team's instructions closely and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your kidney function and overall health post-transplant. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, be sure to inform your healthcare provider promptly.

Question 6

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

The 6mm stone in your right kidney is likely to pass on its own with hydration and medical expulsive therapy, but the 16mm stone in your left kidney is larger and less likely to pass naturally; for the larger stone, surgeon may recommend shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to break up or remove the stone, depending on its composition, location, and your overall health; consult a urologist or nephrologist
