can a hit to the kidney area cause diabetic nephropathy to accelerate?

Question

Does reflux nephropathy cause chronic kidney failure?

Answer 1

Not blunt trauma: A physical hit to the kidney, such as during contact sports should not worsen kidney disease due to diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy is accelerated most frequently by poor diabetes control and uncontrolled hypertension.

Answer 2

No: Diabetic nephropathy per se is related to hyperfiltration in the kidney thru a complex mechanism. A hit to the kidney could conceivably cause kidney damage from other reasons but it wont accelerate dm nephropathy.

Answer 3

No: If you mean a physical hit, than the answer is no.

Answer 4

Certain types do: Not always but certain causes do, like fsgs (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) and pckd (polycystic kidney disease), while other causes aren't.

Answer 5

May, depends: Many kidney diseases are inherited and many are not. However, out of of the ones who are not, many have inheritable risk factors like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Much could be done to control these conditions.

Answer 6

Hormonal: The kidneys are a pivotal component of blood pressure control with multiple mechanisms that can elevate the blood pressure. Disease of the kidneys themselves can induce release of hormones that raise the blood pressure. The arteries that feed the kidneys can have partial blockages that cause the kidneys to secrete hormones to raise the bp. Glands that are adjacent can also release BP hormones.

Answer 7

Other way: It is hypertension that causes these problems and of course if it is not controlled well it could may these disease worse.

Answer 8

Renal artery stenosi: Renal artery stenosi can cause htn.

Answer 9

Renin-Aldosterone: Entire medical books have been written on this mechanism of action. Basically when the kidney has a blockage in the arteries leading to it it perceives a low blood pressure. Since the kidney has the ability to release a chemical signal that tells the body to increase blood pressure it does just that. The problem is is that blood pressure is increased throughout the entire body, not just the kidney, and can have adverse effects.

Answer 10

Rare but mimics: Creatine may increase urea and creatinine even without kidney failure. In some. There are some rare conditions, creatine can cause kidney problems or metabolic problems. It is always advisable to check with a doctor before consuming creatine.

Answer 11

Side Effects: Ingesting creatinine causes water to be pulled into cells and when taken without a whole bunch of water for rehydration could easily cause acute renal failure secondary to loss of circulating blood volume to the kidneys. The key here to creatine use is also taking in large valumes of water to avoid side effects. If you have abnormal kidney function already, i would not recommend taking creatine.

Answer 12

Possible : By itself, creatine is usually not toxic, and is actually a naturally occurring substance in the human body. However, it is known to cause inflammation in the kidney sometimes (interstitial nephritis) and is best avoided by people who have preexisting kidney damage. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/creatine/ns_patient-creatine/dsection=safety.

Answer 13

No: Exercise should help to burn off calories & kidneys are safe.

Answer 14

Muscle pain?: Pain in back muscles is more common reason for this complaint than actual kidney pain. But kidney stone possibility cannot be ruled out. Also, could be related to kidney infection esp if you have signs of of UTI e.g. Burning, frequency, or foul odor with urination. A visit to your doc will help differentiate this.
