Renal failure, brain damage, muscle damage, nerve damage, coma, death. Later, there could be learning difficulties, blindness. These are extreme cases. In no way am I saying that these things will happen. Just that they can.

It could be a kidney problem and they are NOTHING to play around with. Get yourself to a doctor ASAP. You don't want to wind up on dialysis and needing a kidney transplant.

yes they can, the Rh is made up of two alleles and the baby receives one from each parent. If both parents are heterozygous for the d gene then the baby has a one in foud chance of being RhD negative

I have had kidney stones in the past and am told that I got them because I did not drink enough fluids and therefore my kidneys were not flushing out all the old fluids and were creating these limescale sort of stones that would then find there way out and cause alot of pain.I was given strong pain killers(pain worse than giving birth) and told to drink lots of fluids.I think this is the answer.

Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) that strike women are more apt to occur during pregnancy, usually in the late stages. During pregnancy, women tend to have a higher calcium intake and at the same time their kidneys handle calcium less efficiently. Kidney stones are still a rare occurrence during pregnancy, however, affecting only 1 in 1,500 pregnancies.\n\nhttp://adam.about.com/reports/000081_4.htm\n\nHere are articles regarding stones and pregnancy:\n\nhttp://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/ttcprep/0,,3psh,00.html\n\nhttp://www.drspock.com/faq/0,1511,9369,00.html\n\nhttp://pregnancytoday.com/reference/articles/kidneystones.htm

When one kidney has to do the work of two, you need to take care of that kidney. Without it you would be on dialysis. Believe\nme you don't want that.

There are a number of different possibilities. If you have twins or more you'll have elevated alpha-fetoprotein. It can also be the result of miscalculating the age of the fetus (a fairly common occurance). However, it can also be more serious indicating that your baby has a "neural tube defect" basically meaning that the spinal cord failed to close properly. There are other conditions such as anencephaly of the fetus or defects in the abdominal wall of the fetus that can cause this as well.

I'm sure that your blood has been analyzed time and again, and most blood tests would show kidney problems. However, your kidneys can control all of these symptoms, and kidney failure is not that uncommon following childbirth. People tend to think of the kidney as urine producers, but they are responsible in part for regulating many bodily functions because of hormone secretion. You've been to all these other specialists, why not try a nephrologist (kidney specialist). Besides nephrologist are generally well versed in people with mutilple symptoms and multiple organ failures. Just my 2 cents. BTW I've been a nurse working in kidney related areas for the past 7years.

Sept. 27, 2005 --  A baby born outside of her mother's uterus is raising questions about whether or not men can conceive.\n\nToday Emylea Tharby is a healthy 4-month-old, but there is only a one in 10 million chance that she is even alive. \n\n"When we did the MRI, we put two and two together," said Dr. Renato Natale. "We couldn't see a uterus around the baby."\n\nEmylea developed outside of the womb when a fertilized egg fell into her mother's abdominal cavity. The placenta that feeds the baby was planted outside of the uterus. \n\nThe baby was delivered during emergency surgery with minor disabilities.\n\n"She's the most beautiful child I could ever dream of having," said Emylea's mother, Lia Tharby. \n\nThe successful pregnancy without a womb raises questions as to whether a man could one day become pregnant.\n\n"Good Morning America" medical contributor, Dr. David Katz, weighed in on the debate. He said men would need the female hormones necessary to sustain a pregnancy.\n\n"Could it be done? Yes," Katz said. "But there would be unpleasant side effects for a guy. I wouldn't rush off to try that."

Working in the health care field I personally have mixed emotions. On a religious level it's just not natural to do.  However, if it were my children that needed a heart, kidney, etc. I'm certain I would consider medical professionals cloning them as a method of an exact match for replacement organs.

A kidney may be shrunken due to repeated infections. The kidney tissue becomes damaged and is replaced by scar tissue. A kidney may also be small since birth. It will not become normal.  Treat the underlying condition and avoid further damage to your kidneys. Drink plenty of water. Get regular investigations done, as suggested by your doctor. These include urinalysis, ultra sound examination, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and others, according to the underlying condition. Good luck!
