Where do you itch with kidney disease?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It may affect your whole body or be limited to a specific area â usually your back or arms. Itching tends to affects both sides of the body at the same time and may feel internal, like a crawling feeling just below the skin.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent lab results. I had both an LFT and KFT done, and while my LFT is normal, I'm worried about my creatinine level, which came back at 1.1. The normal range they gave me is between 0.4 to 1.4, so should I be concerned about it being at the higher end? Also, my uric acid level is 7.2, with normal ranges listed as 4.8 to 7.5. I noticed my urine is yellow in the morning, but it seems normal throughout the day as long as I stay hydrated. I had chickenpox last December, but that's all cleared up now. What do you suggest I do about these results? I've attached my KFT and LFT reports for you to take a look.
Based on your results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing mild dehydration, which can affect the color of your urine. It's important to stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day. To help manage your uric acid levels, you can make dietary changes such as reducing the intake of purine-rich foods like red meat, organ meats, and certain types of seafood. Additionally, you can consider medications like Allopurinol to help lower uric acid levels. For your creatinine levels, it's important to continue monitoring them regularly. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can help support kidney function. It would be beneficial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations based on your medical history and test results.

I'm 22 and was born with just one kidney. Lately, I've had high blood pressure and my serum creatinine has also gone up. It started at 1.9, then 2.24 after a few days, and on the day of my biopsy, it was 2.34. My eGFR is 40.8. After six days, my serum creatinine was 2.42 and potassium was 3.8. My doctor has put me on BP meds, defocord, and calcium tablets, and wants me to come back in a week. But Im worried. Is there hope for my serum creatinine to return to normal? Do you think Ill be okay again? How come I didnt notice any symptoms from the high BP and creatinine levels?
It's understandable to feel concerned, but with proper treatment, such as BP control, medications, and monitoring, it's possible to manage your condition and prevent further damage. The goal is to stabilize your kidney function and improve your overall health. Many people with high BP and creatinine don't experience noticeable symptoms, so it's important to keep regular check-ups to catch any changes early. Your doctor will guide you through the next steps for optimal care.
