It could be so many things ranging from simple to more complicated.  Only your doctor can diagnose it for sure.  Take heart though, as most of the time it is nothing.  If he is very athletic, he can have this from dehydration regardless of the fact that he drinks a lot.  \n\nPlease let the doctor handle the diagnosis and the care.  He is more qualified than anyone in here.  He has also seen and examined your son.

It appears to me that your body is very toxic and dehydrated. You need to take some simple steps to get back on track. I say simple but it does take sticking to it to get where you need to be. I would suggest drinking 6 glasses of distilled water every day for the rest of your life to rehydrate your body. \n\nUntil you are in perfect health, drink one glass of distilled water with a tablespoon of unrefined sea salt and follow it up with a glass of straight water in the morning, afternoon, and evening. This will rehydrarte and remineralize your body. Unrefined sea salt is made of almost the identical minerals as your blood. Sea Salt would be like getting a blood transfusion for pennies a day. You can wash down the salty water with fresh water until you get used to the taste. \n\nYour diet could be problematic. Avoid any dairy products, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat until you can get back to optimal health and then only add back foods one at a time to see if they may be causing some of your health issues.\n\nIf drinking water and avoiding gut clogging foods doesn't fix the problem, pick up some prune juice and raw apple cider vinegar from a health food store. Continue drinking the salt water. In addition, also take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar plus cinnamon for taste with prune juice in the morning, afternoon, and evening.\n\nIf you do not have regular bowel movements after two weeks, continue fasting from using dairy of any kind, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat, then add a tablespoon of olive oil, a drop of wild oregano oil, and add two tablespoons of cinnamon to a shot of prune juice and drink it three times a day for two weeks while you continue with the salt water and apple cider vinegar.\n\nIf your body is not in perfect functioning order after two weeks with a changed diet, olive oil and oregano oil, salt water, and apple cider vinegar, I would suggest a colonic using a coffee enema from a colonic specialist. \n\nAt this point you should be the most healthy you have been in your whole life. Your urine should be nearly clear, you should have regular bowel movements, and your body would be in optimal good health. Start adding walnuts and almonds to your diet. Begin juicing carrots, fruits, veggies and eat or juice half of of your food raw. You will never regret it.\n\nIf it is just constipation, a little sea salt and water in the morning, afternoon, and evening could fix your body but drugs are not the answer. Drugs by their definition must kill a rat or the FDA will not sanction any drug as a "drug." Otherwise it is called "food." Let your food heal your body. All health conditions come from a lack of minerals. Your body does not have a lack of rat poison. Don't take rat poison to mask symptoms when you could remineralize your body with sea salt and water, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon plus eating a healthy diet by avoiding toxic vaccinated, steroid pumped up red meat, dairy, and chemically toxic processed food. It is all up to you how far you will take it but the journey is worth the effort.\n\nAs for your hair, neem oil and cold pressed virgin olive oil\nand cheap apple cider vinegar as a rinse has helped me grow back hair.You might look at chlorella for the same reason and avoid using any hair products with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE.\n\nStart paying closer attention to your body before you become a toxic sludge. When your urine is clear and your stools are floating, you will know when you are getting there.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179...

My husband has had a blood sugar od 900, was admitted to hospital for 3 days, took that long to bring it down, (because of snacks he wasn't supposed to have) but is fine, his blood sugar will say high on glucometer 3 or 4 times a week, which means over 600+

The bottom number is your pressure in the heart at rest. If it is elevated due to drinking the culprit is most likely electrolyte problems. Specifically tooo much sodium in your blood. I strongly urge you to slow the drinking down and monitor your potassium and sodium levels.

Have the dr. check your red blood cells and H&H you might be anemic.

he needs  to get checked out...if he's overweight that could be part of it, could also be stress or something out...get him to go see a doctor

I think the problem is that he has been SKIPPING his meds.  As far as a urine test goes, it seems to me that he doesn't give a **** for America, so a pee is also unlikely.

Bowel irritability and kidney problems can arise from blood in urine.  Go back to your doctor and ask for a battery of tests.  Better safe than sorry.

The protein in the urine is a symptom of the kidney failure.  Kidney failure can be caused by many things. If that cause can be taken care of, then maybe the kidney can recover.  For example, if your mom has a kidney infection, then maybe she can regain kidney function.  I have been a dialysis technician for a year, so I'm not an expert, but I know a little.  \n\nIn my time as a dialysis tech, I've seen 2 people regain kidney function.  The people it happened to, regained function after a few months on dialysis.  The longer the problem persists, the more damage is done to the kidneys, the less likely it is that function can return.\n\nIt is important to know that if your mom's kidneys cannot regain function, and she is treated with dialysis, her world has not ended.  Dialysis is a very effective life prolonging /sustaining treatment.  If your mom eats healthy, controls her fluid intake, and doesn't skip treatments, she can live a long time.  Depending on age, previous health condition, etc., people can live for another 10-15 years on dialysis.  I know people who have been on it since they were teenagers and now have grandchildren.\n\nThe important thing is to take it all one step at a time.  Listen to your doctors and NEVER stop asking questions.  Don't be afraid or embarassed to ask for second opinions. There are lots of resourves out there, like the National Kidney Foundation. The people who don't survive are generally the ones who don't care, who don't want to know anything, who don't want to follow the advice of healthcare professionals.

It could be a kidney infection or a liver problem. \n\n The infection causes retention of fluid, especially around the eyes. But first do a quick assessment.  Does he have a fever?  Is he lethargic?  Is he recovering from being sick recently?  \n\nIt could also be an allergic reaction.  Sudden onset of swelling can do that.  An anti-histamine may help if it's an allergic reaction.

i think he has something else going on by the sounds they shouldn't be that high some people run high all the time has he been tested for this before and they are just now elevating? obviously its nothing to be very concerned about or the Dr would have told you. i would certainly ask him if he feels that this is a genetic condition.

If the bun is elevated and creatnine is what you say he probably is dehydrated.

He should be asking about the condition of his stomach lining to make sure he doesn't have any ulcers that could be hampering his ability to digest food properly. He should also stay away from soda and coffee (they are acidic and could make his problem worse.) And last but not least important he needs to ask to see a specialist (some doctors need to be pushed for a referral. if you are not getting what you need switch primary care). There could be other issues causing his problem it seams like his doctor is more focused on treating the symptoms, and not the cause.

one or more problem, like the other person said you could have a kidney problem, but do you drink enough water? When you are dehydrated you muscles tense, and your skin reflex is slow meaning it takes longer to rest. make sure to drink 8 glasses of water a day! to keep proper hydration, helps lubricate muscles, tendons, joints, cartilage, and  ligaments. If not that, you could be sleeping wrong, may need a new mattress, if too soft can cause a curve in back and put strain on muscles in lower lumbar region (lower back), and ther are bones there while in bed which may be in a awkward position causeing strain & intense/ sharp pain with you being in that consistent position(if you are). drink water (8glasses a day), get a new mattress, do strecth/breathing exercises, don't eat late, get 8 hours of sleep, and see how you feel.
