Question

Daughter 2.5 yrs old has crystals in urine. Ultrsoundof kidneys normal. Urine analysis normal. But uric acid/ creatinine 1.1 and calcium/cr .26. Why ?

Answer 1

24 hour urine tests: You are not presenting the correct information about your husband's tests. A 24 hour urine collection is expressed in ml/min, which you did not give. In the us, the upper limit of normal for a creatinine level is usually.

Answer 2

Severe disease: Your husband has severe chronic renal failure and needs to be under the care of a nephrologist.

Answer 3

No: It could especially if it is crampy and comes and goes every few minutes. However, it could be due to additional strain in your low back muscles due to your expanding belly and less postural support from your stomach (rectus) muscles. It could also be pain in your pelvis (si joints) from the hip bones "moving" to create more room for your baby to come out. If uncertain see your healthcare provider.

Answer 4

No: Not necessarily. Lover back pain is extremely common in pregnancy. It is due to the added weight and strain on the back. Labor typically has a pattern to it. Speak to your doctor.

Answer 5

No: I had lower back pain on and off from about 20 weeks on and my doctor said it was totally normal. I started doing some stretches and it seemed to work.

Answer 6

No: Full term labor is pretty hard to mistake. Early labor may be mild, but once it's in full swing, you should be able to tell. Put your hand on your belly and see if it is hardening with the pains. Another sign is rythmicity: contractions come and go, so the pain goes pretty much away and then returns.

Answer 7

No: Not necessarily. If it seems like rhythmic cramping/tightening in the lower back or is associated with that sensation in the abdomen, then it may be labor. Braxton-hicks, or false labor pains, are irregular contractions/pains that are self limited and not regular in nature. Often it is better to have false alarms and be checked for labor than to completely ignore the symptoms.

Answer 8

No: One has to be a little more specific. Back pain that comes and goes may be contractions, while continuous back pain may not be. If there is concern its better to be evaluated by a physician.

Answer 9

Not necessarily: There are many aches reported by pregnant women. Most providers want to hear about recurrent, severe or worrisome aches or pain. One of the more common complaints in late pregnancy is backache. It typically is due to changes in muscles, "swaying" of the spine (lordosis), pressure on the pelvis, etc. Low back pain can also be associated with early labor. If in doubt or high-risk, women should call.

Answer 10

Ask urologist: If your stones are a particular kind then you can modify your diet. Drink plenty of water with the next pregnancy.

Answer 11

Fluid intake: Orange juice may not be the best prevention for kidney stones. Orange juice is high in vitamin c which is directly metabolized to oxalate in the body, one of the components of the most common kind of stone, calcium oxalate. At least half of what you drink should be water. Also add a little lemon juice to the water. This will insure your citrate levels, a substance that can help prevent stones, is.

Answer 12

No: Abdominal crunches are an excellent way to build muscles that support the back. It is also important to strengthen the muscles of the back itself, and together, they are best way to prevent low back pain.

Answer 13

No: Back pain comes from many causes including, but not limited to musculoskeletal spasm, degenerative disc disease, arthritis/spondylosis, trauma, and strain/sprain. Abdominal crunches done the right way can strengthen your core and reduce your risk for back injury. Done the wrong way abdominal crunches can actually injury you and lead to back pain.

Answer 14

Not exactly: Core strengthening including gentle crunches can be helpful in preventing low back pain. However, these need to be performed correctly and should be combined with an entire regimen designed to strengthen the core musculature.

Answer 15

Core muscles!Stretch: Core muscle strengthening is useful, but rand corp. Study found that of all physiotherapeutic activities receommended in studies, no conclusion regarding exercises could be reached. I find gravity inversion devices useful for most patients.

Answer 16

No: I always ask patients: what activity do you perform that requires you to be strong going forward? None. You need to be strong coming up, so focus on hip strengthening and your paraspinals. The core concept is ok, but you need to realize it actually encompasses strength and coordination from your feet through your neck.

Answer 17

You have sciatica.: Sorry you are suffering from this...There are several common causes of sciatica including irritation of the spinal nerves from a herniated disk. If your pain does not get better, if numbness affects the crotch, or if you have bowel or bladder difficulty then you need a surgical evaluation, otherwise your primary care provider can take care of getting the sciatica to cool down.

Answer 18

Sounds like sciatica: Back pain that radiates into the leg passing through the buttock is a common sciatic pattern especially if the leg pain is worse or equal to the back pain suggesting a disc herniation is the culprit.

Answer 19

No.: Geeting adequate nutritional support from increasing protein is good, but you are experiencing delayed soreness of exercise, which is common. One possibility is that your seat height adjustment is off. Aleve (naproxen) or Motrin should get rid of pain. If the pain is present longer than 2-3 days, you may have strained/sprained something, but you did not say where you hurt! see your pcx if pain persists!
