Question 1

why the patient who is suffering from kidney  failure has a high temperature &does not show it?

Accepted Answer

Kidney failure: I am not quite sure what you mean by "does not show it." are you asking why a person with kidney failure doesn't have a fever? Or they have a fever but they look fine? Kidney failure by itself doesn't necessarily cause a fever. Infections are usually the cause of fever. So a person with kidney failure may look fairly normal.

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.

Question 7

End Stage Kidney: The term itself indicates that you have severe kidney disease. It could only be changed likely by a transplant.  Once the kidneys are at your stage they do not improve.

Question 9

husbands crp protein result is 96. has mild cirrhosis and acute kidney failure. why is it so high? dangerous? what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: CRP and ESR are both non specific biomarkers for inflammation or acute infection.  In itself, neither is  harmful, but help to monitor response to treatment or identify a problem.  ESR and CRP should be interpreted differently:  CRP is more sensitive of the acute phase of inflammation than the ESR.  Finding the cause and treatment is key. I wish him well.

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: Those are healthy kidney numbers. However, you can have other causes of proteinuria or renal insufficiency and should follow up with a nephrologist or your regular doctor.
