Last May, I had an operation in order to remove 1.42 cm uric acid kidney stones, which is block at my urinary bladder entrance and brought me with extreme pain at my lowest part of my left urethra. The doctors said that kidney stones have been blocking my urine flow for quite amount of time.

The surgery cost me one-day rest at the hospital; but another problem came up, my blood pressure had fall down to 100/70 - 110/70 in range. Normally, I used to have 120/80 blood pressures, even before while I am on treatment. Once again the doctor put me in an exam, then he diagnosed me to have essential hypertension. Because of that, they stop me from continuing my neobloc medication, but my blood pressures still stays at 110/70. Again, I took another KUB ultrasound to see what really happen in my kidneys.

admin — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 13:00:28 +0000

It was several years ago, after the birth of my third child. I woke up on Friday morning with certain gentleness cramps on my left side. One of my mom’s daycares said maybe I was ovulating. But I tried to stick it out perhaps I think that drew a muscle or something. As the day progressed, the pain worsened in that nagging, shooting, stabbing pain in my side. I was on the floor, rolling around and crying. At that time, my husband runs me to the clinic without making any appointment.

The doctor at the clinics said “It’s just a kidney stones,” he gave me a basket and told me to go home, take Tylenol and get rest. So I thought I just over-reacted and went home. I had my last Vicodin c-section and took it and “survive” until Monday. I have not been to the ER, I thought that the doctor knew what he was talking about and they would say the same thing at the ER.

admin — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 13:00:14 +0000

Having chronic kidney disease means that for a while your kidneys are not functioning as they should. Your kidneys have the important task of filtering your blood. They remove the waste products and excess liquid and rinse them to your body as urine. When your kidneys are not working right, wastes accumulate in the blood and make you sick. Chronic kidney disease may seem to have come up unexpectedly. But it happened gradually for many years as a result of damage to your kidneys.

Each of your kidneys has about a million tiny filters, called nephrons. If nephrons are damaged, they stop working. For some time nephrons healthy may assume the additional work. But if the damage continues, more and more nephrons closed. At one point, the nephrons that are left can not filtering the blood well enough to keep you healthy.
