Question 1

i have one kidney.  i masterbate irregular.  will kidney be harmed?

Accepted Answer

No impact: Masturbation will have no impact on the health of your kidneys.

Question 2

ultrasound showed asymmetric thickening on the anterior aspect of left kidney. should i be worried. no definite focal lesions were identified.

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Need more info on general/specific history which was associated with why you got US of kidneys so to deduce the clinical significance of the asymmetric thickening on the anterior aspect of left kidney, although in reality it could be just a normal variation. If you need further evaluation with repeating US in 6-12 mons or a CT to further delineate what it may be, that should be decided by you &amp; Dr

Question 3

i'm inrregular i know i have a cyst i'm having pain to where my kidneys are i need to pee in a hurry and i feel something blocking?

Accepted Answer

Cyst where? ?.Type?: Is the cyst on your ovary or kidney? Size of cyst? Simple or complex cyst? The urgency of urination can be treated with medication as long as you are not retaining urine after urinating.This can be easily checked with a bladderscan machine without having to catheterize you. Urine should be checked for infection. Check again with your doctor. Nothing sounds serious.Good luck.

Question 4

what does thickening of kidney tissue mean in a 20 week  fetus one md says ds the other says it means it's developing.   what's your thought?

Accepted Answer

Kidney thickening: Not aware of the acronym "DS", but any abnormal finding in a fetus by ultrasound should be followed by another sonogram in a few weeks to establish any progression.  Consult an expert in maternal fetal medicine to review the pictures. This will prepare the pediatrician for action upon delivery if necessary.

Question 5

will ct scan shows thickening in kidney?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Ct with and without xray dye is a good test for some kidney problems.  Not sure what you mean by thickening.  Ct shows kidney stones, masses, kidney size/location ; can give a good idea of whether the kidneys are working well.  Ct is also good at showing the site of blockage of urine flow, when present.

Question 6

ultrasound showed slight cortical thickening of left kidney. should i consult with a nephrologist.

Accepted Answer

No: Variations in cortical thickness are normal in the absence of mass being reported.

Question 7

i too was told i have a thickening of my left adrenal gland as well as nodules in my lungs and lesions on my kidneys. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Lesions in lung: YES! But need much more information. BP/ Where do you live? Histoplasmosis country? Blood in your urine? How old are you? Why was the scan done? Any known cancer? Happy to consult as I specialize in adrenal problems. Be worried!!!

Question 8

will i be able to have another baby with lupus, sjgren's syndrom, intestrnial cystitis , sponge kidneys and irregular heart beat?will it make it worse?

Accepted Answer

Impossible to answer: This question needs to be addressed with the doctors who care for you. There is no possible way a doctor on the internet without a complete history and test results can even begin to offer an opinion.

Question 9

22 wk fetal ultrasound completely normal. the doc remarked a tiny thickening of bladder wall. fluid fine, kidneys and bladder normal. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

No Worries: this is an incidental finding, doesn't really mean anything.  If your doctor is concerned about it he will follow it with serial ultrasounds.  You have enough to worry about being pregnant having diabetes and dealing with life's ever changing challenges.  Congratulations on your upcoming child!

Question 10

can i drink non alcoholic beer with irregular heart beat and kidney stones ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: And the alcoholic kind, if not in excess. I trust that if the kidney stones are made of uric acid and you have gout, you're either being treated or will keep the alcohol use down.
