Question 1

can excess. calcium cause kidney damage ?

Question 2

dose taking 10000 iu of vit d3 can cause kidney damage or failure ?

Accepted Answer

No: Why do you want high vitD3 Check your urine PH if acidic keep high dose x3 weeks the dose at 6000 units until ph in urine is normal

Question 3

does protein overdose cause kidney damage?

Accepted Answer

Should not: Ingestion of large amounts of protein (for example protein supplements) should not  have any deleterious effects on kidney function if you have normal kidneys.  Proteins are broken down and then removed through the kidneys.  Therefore, high protein diets tend to make the kidneys work harder and should be avoided in patients with preexisting kidney disease.

Question 4

can drinking a lot of water reverse kidney damage?

Accepted Answer

No: Not real-true kidney damage. If your BUN and creatinine were just a little high because you got dehydrated, you'll get them back to normal immediately if you drink adequate water. You'll also want to stay well-hydrated if you take medicines such as ibuprofen, as otherwise the kidneys can shut down temporarily. Best wishes.

Question 5

will contrast isovue cause kidney damage or failure?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: two of the best, most rigorously conducted and analyzed studies done in the last few years came to nearly identical conclusions: with normal kidney fxn to begin with modern iodine contrast agents used properly do not result in more kidney problems than is seen in the general population of patients who have medical imaging.  In severe kidney disease pts some caution is still needed.

Question 6

has anyone suffered major kidney damage through an infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A severe blood infection can cause damage to multiple organs including the kidney. The kidney damage is often caused by low blood pressure, and is typically temporary and improves after the infection is treated. But with severe infection, or prolonged low blood pressure, subsequent damage to the kidney may be permanent, or severe, requiring dialysis.

Question 7

is it true that even mild dehydration can cause irreversible kidney damage?

Accepted Answer

: Typically, mild dehydration by itself would not be enough to cause irreversible kidney damage that is clinically relevant. It is better for your body to be well hydrated, including the kidneys. But, the body compensates quite well for mild dehydration. Staying hydrated is healthier. Good luck to you!

Question 8

what kind of treatment would you have to go through to heal your kidney damage?

Accepted Answer

Kidney damage: There are very few treatments that heal kidney damage.  However the kidneys have a capacity to heal with time.  Acute kidney injury can often heal by stopping medications that damage the kidney (nsaids, IV dye, etc) and making sure you are well hydrated.  If the damage is more long term (high blood pressure or diabetes), often you can only try to slow progression with BP control and sugar control.

Question 9

can kidney damage from anorexia and overdoseing be fixed? if so what can i do to fix it

Accepted Answer

It is possible: Generally speaking the degree of recovery from kidney injury depends on the severity of the insult and the age of the patient. Being so young, if further injury can be avoided and if the injury was not too severe, there is a good chance that complete healing can occur.

Question 10

what does a gfr of 109 mean and creatinine level of 0.54 mean?  do i have kidney damage

Accepted Answer

Kidney disease : It is important to consider your results with your doctor. These results are considered with your age and race. In addition, the protein in your urine needs to be taken into account.  I  remember a patient with these very similar lab results who had leg edema and her urine protein was very high-she severe had Lupus kidney disease. It is very possible that these may normal.
