Question 1

if you have kidney problems and drink too much water what can happen?

Accepted Answer

Water intake: There is evidence that moderately increased fluid intake, above two liters daily, “may in fact benefit the kidney.” it is recommended in cases where patients have had kidney stones. However, aggressively increasing fluid intake is not recommended.

Question 2

can a gallbladder cause sever kidney problems, to the point where you're in so much pain that you can not walk?

Accepted Answer

Right upper abdomen: Your liver is on your right side below the ribs. The gallbladder is tucked under the liver. Right side abdominal pain, above the belly button is usually where it hurts with a bad gallbladder. The pain can be severe. If it lasts more than an hour or if you are vomiting get to your doctor.

Question 3

can you tell me is pooping too much a sign of kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

Bowel movements: Frequent bowel movements are not a sign of kidney problems, however if you have diarrhea and lose too much fluid through your stools, this can cause dehydration and lead to acute kidney injury.

Question 4

do kidney problems cause brown spots on your body?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: There is a condition called neurofibromatosis associated with cafe au lait spots.  These spots are large, more than 1 cm in diameter, flat, painless, numbering more than 5 on the body.  Patients can develop blockages of the kidney arteries.  This causes severe hypertension.  If you have kidney failure you can develop nodularis prurigo, severe itchy lumps that darken after time.

Question 5

can you tell me about stress and scan dye caused kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

Scan Dye Can: Scan dyes used for contrast can cause kidney damage called stress induced nephropathy 
it is more common in patients who already suffer from some kidney dysfunction like elevated creatinine level
but most of time kidney function returns to normal within couple of weeks but in some patients with kidney disease it can be permanent and can lead to end stage kidney failure, and rarely death.

Question 6

just curious, can allergy to some food products (or allergy at all) cause kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

No: No report on kidney damages from food allergies , to the best of my knowledge, has ever been reported.

Question 7

could any kidney problems cause pain in leg? if so...which problems would that be?

Accepted Answer

No: Kidney problems don't tend to cause leg pain. However, while walking you may increase pain indirectly from the stress of moving. Such as someone with flank pain (pain on the side left or right of ones abdomen) from a kidney infection having more side pain from the movement of walking up or down (or jumping). In summery, at rest leg pain is not likely from any kidney issue.

Question 8

does diabetes cause kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Diabetes causes several kidney problems ANS one of the leading causes of end stage renal disease requiring dialysis.

Question 9

can cheap perfume cause kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It probably depends on what potentially harmful ingredient is in the perfume but it is not a common cause of kidney failure.

Question 10

can glutathione iv cause kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Glutathione is produced naturally by the liver and I'm not aware of any toxicity problems with it. It is sometimes actually given to patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. Any other questions can be answered by your pharmacist who has more access to this information.
