Question 1

my b12 is 763 in the abnormal range...could this mean i have liver or kidney disease or even something else?

Accepted Answer

No: Do u take multivitamins or other supplements? Elevated B12 levels doesnt mean you have liver or kidney disease. Check outside source such as your diet.

Question 2

what type of food can someone eat if they have kidney disease and liver failure?

Accepted Answer

Diet: That is a great question and depends on the degree of kidney disease. For example those with less than 30% function should restrict salt, fluid, potassium and phosphorous. Others have different requirements. I would visit the National Kidney Foundation website www.kidney.org. Its a great resource. ProRenal multivitamins are also great for patients with kidney disease.

Question 3

Maybe: Liver disease can causing itching (pruritis), which may or may not be the sensation you are describing.

Question 4

Question 5

is taking xanax (alprazolam) bad for your kidneys or liver? example if you have kidney disease or liver disease? thank you dr!

Accepted Answer

No but..: The drug is broken down by the liver and eliminated by the kidneys. If you have severe liver disease or kidney disease the dose may need to be adjusted appropriately. The drug by itself will not hurt your kidneys or liver if taken as prescribed.

Question 6

Question 7

i have polycystic liver and kidney disease. im51 an have bruses on my arms, thighs, an abdomen. why?

Accepted Answer

Liver Disease: Bruising and bleeding. When the liver slows or stops producing the proteins needed for blood clotting, a person will bruise or bleed easily.

Question 8

what liver and/or kidney diseases/disorders would cause your stool to constantly smell strongly of ammonia regardless of diet..for several yrs.?

Accepted Answer

Bacteria: Ammonia in the gut is produced by bacteria; if you have a strong ammonia smell, it may be secondary to chronic bacterial overgrowth.   Alternatively, and more rarely, there could be a fistula from bladder to bowel (you would likely have problems with utis regularly then) or much more rarely, advanced liver disease.

Question 9

what are the first symptoms of liver or kidney disease. where would itching all over and metallic taste fall in the timeline between normal to disease?

Accepted Answer

Itching can be: related to systemic disease.  Liver disease can cause increased bilirubin which can lead to diffuse itching.  Dysgeusia (or the metallic taste) can be caused by a lot of things, including medications and different disease processes.  I would recommend you go see your primary care doctor to get checked out.

Question 10

i recently found out i have chronic kidney disease (stage 3). i just noticed brown spots on my chest (like liver/sun spots).  could these be related?

Accepted Answer

No: Ask your physician on your next annual physical. And get to the bottom of this chronic kidney disease business. Most of us in pathology think it is over diagnosed from lab work. Insist on a real diagnosis and explanation.
