Question 1

can any kind of kidney disease or kidney failure cause a sore back?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Any condition of inflammation of the kidney or ureters (emptying system for urine) might cause pain in the flank (back area). Usually, kidney pain will be to one side just under the ribs (costovertebral angle). If associated with changes in color or clarity of urine, blood in urine, then kidney more likely. If in the middle, then back more suspect. Your pcp should be able to xray and determine.

Question 2

i have stage 3 kidney disease and and used a fleet rectal enema for constipation i later found out it may cause kidney failure.  should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

See below: What were the ingredients in the fleet's enema? Contact your nephrologist if any of the ingredients are something s/he's told you to avoid. S/he can advise you in this case. In the future, read labels; know what things you should avoid due to your kidney disease. Eat foods with fiber (fruits, veggies) & drink water to prevent constipation.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Blood, urine tests: Most often, kidney failure is asymptomatic.If you suspect, you must see your physician to get the blood and urine tests for checking serum BUN , creatinine, urine analysis, urine protein, urine creatinine.This will help identify the presence of kidney disease.

Question 5

i have a kidney failure, will there be complications with legionnaires' disease?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Kidney failure is one complication of untreated or severe legionnaire's disease. However, people with kidney failure are more susceptible to get this disease due to lowered immunity and co-morbid conditions. Not everyone with kidney disease will get it though.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Kidney failure : Symptoms don't appear until very very late.  The best way to determine it is to get a blood test.  Serum creatinine level is easiest test for kidney function.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Possible: U can detect abnormalities in urine test and measure the amount of creatinine you are filtering in 24 hours, but the test to diagnose and stage kidney disease are usually done in the blood since that is easier. Here is a comprehensive article:

Question 8

what is the disease for symptoms like cold sweat, difficult in breathing and visual becomes black and white? my dad had kidney failure

Accepted Answer

These : These symptoms are very broad and could represent many things. Common causes would be low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), panic/anxiety attacks, neurological issues, etc. These are not signs of kidney failure, however more information on your family history should be obtained. You need a complete history, physical, and diagnostic testing in order to figure out what is going on.
Best of luck.

Question 9

i have chronic kidney disease im 22 years old but i feel someone made me to have kidney failure is this possible ? can any one make others kidney fail

Accepted Answer

Not likely: One cannot make another person's kidneys fail by which-craft. It is possible to give someone chemicals that would damage the kidneys, however, I doubt that was what happened. There are many causes of kidney failure but it would take examination, history, urine and other tests to determine the cause. I hope that you are under the care of a doctor for treatment.

Question 10

could kidney failure or disease sometimes ppresent with a rash on yr upperr abdomen in a straight line but only on the sides?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If that is the only thing you notice, then it would not likely be a sign of kidney failure or disease.  Your doctor can do simple blood and urine tests to see how your kidneys are functioning.
