Okay, folks, what is the difference between chronic renal insufficiency and regular renal insufficiency?

---

Are there any doctors in the house?
I'm not a doctor and the key word here is Chronic. Chronic means long term. Acute means happening now. If you have a chronic condition it is going to be with you, probably, for several years if not your whole life.  (+ info)

My serum creatinine was 1.7. Do I have chronic renal insufficiency? Is there hope for complete recovery?

---

I have been taking high doses of prescription ibuprofen for arthritis (800mgx4/day). Have experienced mental confusion, itching feet, nightime urination, high blood pressure. No blood, protein or sugar in urine (tested normal). Never had any of these symptoms before. Rheumatologist made appointment for me with nephrologist for next month. Have stopped ibuprofen and all symptoms have disappeared.
A creatinine level of 1.7 isn't horrendously high but bears watching. You cannot be diagnosed online, I'm sorry. Neither can you be given a prognosis for a condition for which you can't be diagnosed with online.

What was your BUN/creatinine ratio?

Your creatinine levels cannot be accurately interpreted here. A level of 0.7 may indicate renal disease in one person while a level of 2.0 may be normal for another. An interpretation of your particular levels requires access for much more health information about you.

Keep up a fluid intake of 2-3 liters throughout each day. Avoid alcohol. You've already discontinued the ibuprofen. That may be the best thing you've done so far. Keeping the consult appointment with the nephro will be the next best thing you will do.  (+ info)

Chronic Renal Insufficiency At 31?

---

Hi, last sunday i went to the E.R at a local Hospital because i was feeling a weird but a very sharp pain in my chest. So they took my blood, urine, checked my blood pressure and did an E.KG and thanks god my heart was fine, they told me that it's more related to muscular pain, but when they came back with tthe blood results they told me that
i have (Chronic Renal Insufficiency) and the also told me that my creatinine level is 1.4. I'm still in shock since i have never feel any pain around my kidneys i can pee with no problems, i'm a very active person and i work very hard. I have never used drugs,smoked, i can say that i drink 2 to 3 beers and maybe about a can of soda per month and i do drink a lot of water every single day. There is nobody in my family with kidneys problems and i'm only 31
this coming weeking i will visit an specialist for a second opinion. I just don't understand why? last year i was fine
and just like that i have Chronic Renal Insufficiency
what could cause it? or maybe the blood test could be wrong? Does any one has any idea?

Thanks.
Diabetes and High blood pressure are the main culprits for CRI. A creatnine of 1.4 is a little high but not terrible. Get a second opinion and good luck  (+ info)

what is causing aurinary tract infection in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency?

---

Not sure of the cause, but if you can get this person to drink some strong lemonade made from lemon juice, sweetened with a tiny bit of honey... it should clear up the infection in a day or so. Straight lemon juice is better for the infection, but..whew, what a dose!!

If the person has a catheter.. that'll do it just about every time.  (+ info)

Could you please tell me the difference between Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Peripheral Vascular Disease?

---

I was told yesterday by my doctor that I have Chronic Venous Insufficiency which I think I understand. However, I also came across PVD and then became confused. Are they the same?
chronic venous insufficiency is when your veins cant pump the blood back to your heart (so it pools in your legs).

peripheral vascular disease (which common in diabetics or people with high cholesterol) is a problem with the arteries (not veins) that are clogged up (from atherosclerosis) and thus cannot deliver enough blood to the peripheral limbs (such as legs) resulting in symptoms of the pain (intermittent claudication or pain in calves after exertion) or ulcers.  (+ info)

Fish oil capsules during renal insufficiency?

---

I have renal insufficiency (serum creatinine 3.5). My doctor has recently adviced me to take fish oil capsules. (Maxepa fish oil morning and evening).
Does anybody know about the positive or negative effect of fish oil on the kindey especially during renal problems?
1 second ago - 3 days left to answer.
It can reduced the decline of renal function and help with blood pressure. It will also benefit your creatinine levels. Some people complain of rashes or allergic reactions. Make sure you take a brand your physician recommends and watch the expiration dates on your pills. Good luck to you!  (+ info)

What is metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure due to?

---

Hi, is the metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure is due by pH level ?
It is due to increased production of H+ by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney, thus, leading to acidemia. Blood pH is low (less than 7.35)

Arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling is essential for the diagnosis.

Person with hypertension (eg. BP of 170/110 persistently elevated) and close to end stage chronic renal disease (say eGFR of <15). Waiting for dialysis. Meanwhile, what class (or combination of classes) of antihypertensive is/are safest to use?

This would be better discussed with the person's physician. But suspect Beta Blocker would be safest.  (+ info)
