It's called chronic kidney disease, it's not temporary.

It's not possible it can be temporarily be identified as that?

The oil filter analogy is better than anything I could have come up with. The good news is that the kidneys have to get REALLY REALLY damaged for bad symptoms to show up. Like 15-20% of effective power. It is very good that Robert was diagnosed with it this early because it can be managed and slowed.

Something for Gryph to salivate over...

 

 

Right kidney is slightly enlarged and there is some perinephric stranding. There is dilation of the right collecting system and ureter. There is suggestion of a small calculus at the right uretic orifice.

 

 

It seems that there is a uric stone at the bottom of the tube just where it enters the bladder. It still hasn't gone, although I feel much better.

ok based on my (somewhat limited) medical knowledge, and what i understood from a doctor friend of mine, it's most likely increased salts in your system (a primary form of kidney stones)

 

here's what was recommended:

 

1- increase your intake of water

2- cut your salt intake for at least 2 weeks... by cut, that means no more than a teaspoon worth of salt per 2 days. so no pickles or freaking mcdonalds either.

3- drink/eat things such as beats,hibiscus, honey, and sugarcane

4- while medications primarily act on the liver, avoid any non prescribed medications for a duration of 2 weeks.

 

you should be fine afterwards.

 

but i could be wrong, so make sure you go to your doc regularly.

The constipation fixed itself on Tuesday morning.

 

The first diagnosis is in, I have Chronic Kidney Disease.

 

The filtration rate should be >90, currently at 60.

When it drops to 30 a new kidney is required.

 

So, looks liked I am fukked.

 

dont worry. there was a guy who had been diagnosed with cancer.

he jumped out of a window because he did not want ti deal with kemotherapy.

 

after an mri scan on his dead body, turns out, it was beef in his lungs!

the poor man killed himself for nothing. he had beef the night before.
