It is possible?: Nephrotoxicity is a major adverse effect of treatment with amb, reportedly causing some degree of renal impairment in >80% of treated patients [4]. Renal function impairment may be reversible after cessation of treatment with amb and, sometimes, despite continued therapy, possibly as a result of tissue.

Question 2

why are people say lispronil high blood medication is giving them kidney failure like i'm so scared to even take this medication.

Accepted Answer

No flawless meds: During &amp; after development of any approved med,they collect/monitor reported adverse symptoms or events experienced during use.When /if these are not rare,the med is pulled off the market.Since everyone is unique,there is always be a possibility that someone can develop an issue with a given med.Regular checkups/labs help monitor it.I have no concerns about this med and have been on it for years.

i am a patient in stage 4 kidney failure.  i would like to know if i can use natural medication
cholesterolease

liver & kidney support - vogel
nephrosolid kidney and bladder tonic drops - ?

Accepted Answer

Word of caution: I can understand the desire to do something to improve your health, but not clear to me if any of these items help or even hurt.  I imagine they are expensive.  Suggest you conference with your nephrologist and nurse, and be open about these "natural medications", and get further advice.

Question 4

can you die from acute kidney failure ? (suggesting a drug overdose) what would be initialized signs of death is closing in? would there be physical pain?

Accepted Answer

: Without proper treatment, the answer is definitely yes:  acute renal failure can be fatal. But the context of your question suggests that you (or the person. you are writing about) implies ongoing care and probably hospitalized. Standard treatment usually is effective in keeping such patients alive indefinitely, sometimes with kidney dialysis. Discuss with the doctor(s). Good luck.

Question 5

i have kidney failure , heart disease and diabieses and i have a drug habit.i have lost the use of my legs i need help?

Accepted Answer

First things first: When facing big challenges you can really only focus on one thing at a time, trying to take one step forward. It sounds like the major problem that is in your hands to change is the drug habit. Seeking help and getting clean may open other doors to important health care options. For example, you would only be a kidney transplant candidate after being clean for at least 6-12 months. Best of luck.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Good health: Kidney disease often results from hypertension, diabetes, hi cholesterol, but can be related to less common illnesses like lupus as well. The best approach to lessening your chance of decline is to manage your BP and sugars. Borderline probably means stage 1 or 2 disease. The stage is determined by age, blood tests and body weight. Seeing a nephrologist is a good idea as well to.

Question 10

Young children and elderly people are more susceptible to develop this complication.  Antibiotic treatments so far failed to prevent the development of hus.
