Simindalin Please let your granddaughter know the staple removal isn't that bad. I had a few that hurt only because I wasn't healing in that area as fast as the other areas. He applied surgical strips after removing them!

THYROIDA : Judging by your user name, I assume you have thyroid probs as well. These can often lead to hair loss (which you're probably already aware of ). I wasn't aware that kidney probs caused hair loss. My husband has stage 3 renal disease but has not lost any hair. Perhaps request a full thyroid panel lab test - TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and thyroid antibodies for Thyroid Autoimmune Disease. Also check your ferritin/vit. d/B12. Your...

I just had my left kidney removed via laporascopy on Dec 4. I was back at work on Dec 19. Granted, I sit 90% of the time at work, but I was able to drive after two weeks and was bored at home. I have two small scars (less than 1 inch) and one large scar about 4 inches. The first small scar is about 4 inches to the left of my belly button and the other is about 4 inches above the belly button...

YES!
I am in stage 4, with a GFR around 22...and my hair is disappearing everyday. I am almost at the point of wearing a scarf, which scares the heck out of me for some reason...maybe because it signifies how sick I really am, and I am not ready to show myself that way. Even though I have had 4 strokes, and am looking at dialysis very soon, people have no idea.

I would call your doctor, and ask that they clarify the diagnosis.

You should see a doctor. This could be a combination of infection and blood.

Yes, nsaids can cause a decline in (or even significant damage to) kidney function. At this point, your creatinine is still within normal limits, but it would be good to keep an eye on things in case it progresses. You are correct, epo is a kidney hormone that assists in the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. it is given via injection to many kidney patients to treat anemia.

Hi MewMew. Sorry, I'm not an expert, but it could very well be something as simple as a kidney stone. They are common enough. I'm sure your doctor will run tests to determine what the cause of the blood is. It is possible that it is another infection, but it is not for certain. I have had a similar problem where I mistook blood in the urine for menstrual blood. If you haven't been getting your ...
