Question 1

I have back pain in my lower ribs nex to spine when i lean over and it comes and goes when im laying down frequent urination with some white pus looking stuff and itchy painful back rash on my upper back and one spot on my arm is this kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

The white matter in your urine may be mucus. In order to diagnose kidney pathology it would help to get imaging study of the kidneys & a urinalysis with microscopic examination of the urinary sediment showing heavy amounts of protein or red blood or white blood cells and a normal examination of the urinary bladder. Back pain& a rash on one side if your back could be shingles. See your MD for advic

Question 2

Accepted Answer

There is a whole page of dietary recommendations at: http://www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002442.Htm    it explains about carbs, fats, proteins, calcium, phosphorus, and fluids, in the diets of chronic kidney disease patients. The primary care doctor or nephrologist can refer to a specialized dietician to help create the proper diet.

Question 3

Can low thyroid mask symptoms of high blood pressure caused by kidney disease? is blood pressure of 170/150 a medical emergency?

Accepted Answer

Your blood pressure is significantly elevated and is, therefore, poorly controlled. Your hypothyroidism is not masking it. As a young woman, you need to speak to your physician (P) about either increasing your BP meds, from one to more agents and considering the fact that you have secondary hypertension (SH) and working up for that possibility. See you P for more help, as your P knows you best.

Question 4

Question 5

Might kidney disease be a reason for collapsing and fainting?

Collapsing and fainting are rarely caused by renal disease. You need to go to an er if these are frequent problems to get evaluated with some blood work to see if the results can diagnose the presence of any kidney disease or the cause of your problem.

Question 6

What causes kidney disease and the subsequently need for dialysis?

Accepted Answer

There are many causes for chronic kidney disease (ckd). Most common that i see for patients that need dialysis access are diabetes and poorly controlled high blood pressure. Another fairly common one is an inherited condition called polycystic kidney disease. Other causes include immunologic diseases which attack the kidneys, and anatomic problems that cause blockage of the kidneys.

Question 7

What is the cause of polycystic kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

Exact etiology for PKD unknown. Some researchers swear that genetics plays a big role-- hence ADPKD and ARPKD ( autosomal dominant type and recessive type). But then there are other tapers not genetically oriented. Some hypothesize-- something goes wrong in signaling at cellular level during renal development--- pronephro/ mesonephros/ metabephros stages!
