There are way too many kinds of kidney surgery.  You need to ask your doctor what type of surgery you are having and what to expect afterwards.

first of all start by maybe checking with your doctor for any type of kidney problems because i have heard of that too. it could also be a chiropractic problem. sometimes it could be something as simple as buying a new bed.

I recently passed a KIDNEY stone. There is a tube, called the ureter, that connects the kidney to the bladder. It is very, very thin and lined with nerves. Imagine a little elf hacking his way out with a razor blade. I was on the verge of throwing up it was so painful. I had to be hospitalized. Prescription pain killers were not enough relief.\n\nMoral of the story - drink lots and lots of water and avoid the build up of calcium in the kidney. Oh ya, and don't eat stones.

The signs/symptoms are that you aren't urinating as much as you are drinking.  Your abdomen may be slightly distended above the hair line and there may be some discomfort there when palpated.  A doctor might order a residual urine check...that is you measure the amount of urine that you urinate and then do a catheterization to see how much urine remains in the bladder.  You might try sitting on the toilet for a little while longer to see if you can completely empty your bladder on your own.  It would have been helpful to know what kind of surgery you had.

I received a kidney from my aunt in March. She really wanted to do it, and she did very well. She had surgery on Thursday and was out of the hospital 2 days later - Saturday. Up and walking around and going to restaurants and visiting ME in the hospital. \nThere is a very small risk of death from the surgery itself. I like to think of it as equivalent to a few years worth of normal traveling around in a car. So, you have to think whether the risk is worth it to you. Also, there is some higher risk of lingering pain or other post surgery problems. My aunt is doing fine. Statistically, I don't think they've found any increased likelihood of disease, except maybe a slight tendency toward slightly higher blood pressure. \nThey do advise you not to take Advil (ibuprofen) or other NSAID medications for pain relief, I believe. \nThe best website I know for living organ donors is\nhttp://www.livingdonorsonline.org/\nLots of info, and personal stories, and a bulletin board for discussing it all, both good and bad.\n\nSome info from livingdonorsonline:\n"These studies and others like them strongly suggest there are few if any consequences from donating a kidney. However, some precautions naturally are in order. For example, you may need to limit or give up activities that could damage your remaining kidney, such as rough contact sports (boxing or American football). Pregnancy for the most part is not a problem following donation, but a female should let the obstetrician know they have only one kidney so kidney function can be monitored.\n\nAs noted above, some studies have shown a slightly higher risk of high blood pressure and proteinuria. These risks can be managed and monitored through regular physical exams, blood tests, and urine tests."

Your kidney perhaps??  I have been suffering from chronic kidney stones since I was in High School, and have to say that I have never had those symptoms post-stone passing.  Those are things that I had DURING the whole agonizing process of flushing with IV fluids, etc.  Is it possible there is still another, or more stones in there still? \n\nAlso, did you have a lot of blood in your urine?  You might need to have your hemoglobin checked to make sure your iron isn't too low.  There is quite possibly the chance of a secondary infection as well. That could effect any of your organs, if it had the opportunity to spread.  My best advice here--go see the DR, or at least give him/her a call and let them know what's up.  GL!  P.S. PUSH fluids and drink cranberry juice in the meantime!

Symptoms of nephrotic syndrome are frothy urine, anorexia, sick feeling, puffy eyelids, abdominal pain, wasting of the muscles, and edema (fluid retention).  You can also develop fluid between the lungs and the chest wall.  Treatment usually involves corticosteroid treatment (prednisone). MDs may also try ACE inhibitor drugs.  Diet changes to include the right protein and potassium levels and low saturated fat levels and sodium.  You will also need to slowly increase your exercise level.

There might be some soreness after any surgical procedure, however some signs might suggest infection and warrant seeking early attention.  I would advise to seek attention before Thursday, if:\n- you have fever\n- if the area has become red, warm and more painful than it was  (you  can expect some pain and redness, but it should not be \n  MORE painful, redder or warmer than before).\n- if there is discharge coming from the wound (not blood, but pus-like discharge;  try to press lightly around the wound and see if \nyou can express  some discharge from it).\n\nHope it helps

Especially if you are male, you need to see a doctor right away. My uncle, who felt just fine, suddenly had blood &, as he described it - "ickies & other matter", in his urine which quickly resulted in him not being able to go at all. Turned out he had advanced renal (kidney) cancer & was totally unaware of it. Please don't put off seeing the doctor, even if you find out it isn't something quite as horrible because I'd hate to think of anyone having to go through the mess he's just been through. And, before you think, "No, that couldn't be it;" stop to think of the fact that you aren't supposed to get blood & stones in your urine. Call for an appointment today, even if you have to visit a free clinic.\n\nGood luck!

This question is really too general to answer completely.  \nBecause there are many types of kidney diseases, there are many kinds of symptoms that people can experience.  You should go to www.kidney.org (the national kidney foundation website) and take a look at the patient information.\n\nTo address a previous comment, urine output is often confused with kidney function.  The amount of urine made does not tell you about your level of kidney function or whether your kidneys are sick.  Please remember that depending on the cause of kidney disease/failure (chronic or acute), a person could experience low, normal or high amounts of urine output.  The way kidney function is tested is by using laboratory values--the most common value used is called the serum (blood) creatinine level.\n\nThe laundry lists of signs and symptoms that are usually given for kidney failure are LATE symptoms of kidney failure. These generally occur when a person is at a point where their kidneys have failed completely and they require dialysis treatments. Most people with early/moderate kidney failure have NO symptoms at all.  \n\nSo, the most common symptoms of kidney disease are no symptoms at all.  Kidney disease is usually a SILENT disease that is more often then not picked up by checking routine laboratory tests. It is not ususally picked up by symptoms.   Catching kidney disease early is the best way to prevent further kidney damage.   \n\nThe best advice is to check with your doctor and make sure they have checked your level of kidney function. It is important to note that certain diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease are major causes of kidney disease.  If you have these and other predisposing diseases, you need to make sure your doctor checks for kidney problems on a regular basis.  If there is a kidney problem, you may need to be referred to a specialist (nephrologist).

Dialysis definitely kept me alive. It got to the point where I was sleeping 12 hours a day, no energy, emaciated, depressed, itching, grumpy, etc. The first week of dialysis was like a new lease on life.  I felt better---immediately. But there's nothing like having a brand new kidney....

How bizarre - presumably this is your gp that has given you this rather poor information?\nWhat you need to do is have your blood taken and your creatinine level checked.  Your creatinine should be at around 100.  If it is higher than 150 then you will need a referral to see a nephrologist who can organise for a GFR test which will show the exact amount of kidney funciton you have.\nTo say that someone has the kidney of an 80 year old is a load of old rubbish. You need to know exactly what percentage of function you have. What has caused any decline in function and what you can expect.  \n\nIt might be helpful for you to know that many people can survive their whole lives very happily on just one kidney.  I spent most of my childhood and teenage years with only 30% kidney function and lived a pretty normal life. It's also worth knowing that often when a kidney is damaged then it's function will continue to decline slowly over the years.  Healthcare for kidney patients is much improved from the old days.  There is a choice of dialysis - haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis - but it might be that you'll never even need either of these treatments.\n\nIf your kidneys are failing then it's likely that you would feel noticeably tired and sleep more.  When there is very little function left then you would start to feel very sick.\n\nI'm not very impressed with what your doctor has said. He's given you a really inarticulate diagnosis and not provided you with any of the information you might need.\n\nCheck out these site for more information:-\n\nhttp://www.kidneypatientguide.org.uk/site/contents.php\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/crf1.shtml\nhttp://www.kidney.org.uk/index.html\n\nI hope you are ok.
