Question 1

how can a fractured stent migrated outside the kidney?

Accepted Answer

Rarely.: A ureteral stent is a pliable tube inserted to keep the ureter, & therefore the passage from the kidney to the bladder, open. They possess a curl on each end to keep it in place. They can migrate, and usually this occurs out of the kidney toward the bladder. It is possible for a stent fragment to exit this space, if it erodes through the ureter or out of a ureteral incision. These events are rare.

Question 2

what are the risks of a rib fracture puncturing your kidney?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Though the kidneys reside above the bottom of the rib cage they are surrounded by fat and tissue. Though possible i would think it would be very unlikely.

Question 3

i have severe mid back pain near kidney area fie at least 2 straight months had previously fractured a rib back in november in constant pain all day?

Accepted Answer

Be checked: If the pain has been severe for 2 months, i would certainly encourage you to be seen.  There are multiple causes includingusculoskeletal- such as another broken rib or fractured vertebrae; to more internal causes such as a kidney or gallstone, an aneurysm, or other intra thoracic or intra abdominal problem.  Appropriate exam and testing can usually determine the cause.  Be seen.

Question 4

have moderate t11 fracture could it give me severe pain in mid back near kidney area

Accepted Answer

Vertebra: A vertebral fracture at that level will cause significant midback discomfort. These fractures may take up to 12 weeks to fully heal. Sometimes the vertebra is injected with a type of cement to alleviate some of the discomfort. Bracing is also used in some cases.

Question 5

which is the safest osteoporosis treatment that builds bone and prevents fractures, without causing problems to the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Only forteo builds: Forteo is the only drug that induces bone formation. The others prevent bone loss, although that allows the bones to become stronger over time, too. None of the meds damage the kidneys, but the bisphosphonates (like fosamax) can't be used in someone who has kidney dysfunction.

Question 6

in the case of a broken bone, what are the effects of rhabdmyolysis on the kidneys and what should we do to protect the kidneys in the hospital?

Accepted Answer

Be carefull danger: Rhabdomyolysis  is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle tissue breaks down rapidly breakdown products of damaged muscle cells are released into the bloodstream; some of these, such as the protein myoglobin, are harmful to the kidneys and may lead to kidney failure.To protect your self the should aware of it and treated as soon happened.Thanks good luck.

Question 7

went to er knowing was kidney stones x-ray im fine. since had ultra sound and ct w/cont now have fractured ribs? how can this be? no fall/blow to ribs

Accepted Answer

See below: Non-contrast CT of the abdomen/pelvis is the best imaging modality to diagnose "stones" within the urinary tract (kidney, ureter, bladder). CT with IV contrast and renal ultrasound best for evaluating renal masses. It would be quite unusual to sustain an acute rib fracture without having pain or a history of some sort of trauma. Certainly, a CT can sometimes identify and report an "old/healed" fx.

Question 8

best treatment for 90y/o woman w/ displaced ankle fracture w/ history of wound healing/infection issues/high bp/irregular heartbeat/elevated kidney?

Accepted Answer

Ankle fracture : If it's displaced you need surgery because the bone when formed will not align and your ankle will heal abnormally. If it's a non-displaced fracture you could be ok with a hard cast or boot brace and with time it will heal. But you need to see an orthopedic doctor to make this judgement call.

Question 9

25 years old,feel i had penile fracture more than 8 years ago.didnt observe any bleeding.i face split urine stream issue, consulted local doctors they did few test kub ( kidney, urethra, bladder) test and uroflowmetry test. my penis is plain dead?

Accepted Answer

: Fracture of the penis causes bleeding and local swelling and  does not involve the urethra ( urinary tube). if you did not have that then the diagnosis was wrong. Your present symptoms are related to the urethra and you need to see a Urologist. Good luck

Question 10

if a baby born w/esophageal artesia with tracheoesophageal fistula), vacteral association w/13 ribs, small kidney, shifted diaphragm left/elevated, gtube feed, 6 surgeries by 6 mths old then multiple fractures discovered. poss. cause other than abuse?

Accepted Answer

Brittle bone dis: There are forms of a disorder in bone metabolism that emerge at various times that can result in easy bone fractures. Testing is available to verify that. Special needs/kids or those with birth defects are statistically more likely to suffer from non-accidental trauma/injury (child abuse)
