Lesion. This is a hole in your kidney, or the surface of the kidney.

might be a kidney stone.

You need to get to a doctor now. Waiting too long to treat a kidney infection can cause kidney failure.

L-Arginine (500 mg. 4 times daily)\n&\nL-methionine (As directed n label, on empty stomach with water or juice, not with milk) This will improve kidney circulation.\nPotassium is a kidney stimulant. If serum potassium level is elevated, do NOT take.\nCut back on animal protein. Meat puts stress on the kidneys. \nIncrease your intake of raw fruits & veggies.\nDrink distilled water. \nAvoid ibuprofen.\nAt health food store, buy something called "Chlorophyll". This enhances circulation, builds healthy cells & helps detoxify the body.\nCo-enzyme Q10 improves tissue oxygenation.\nHerbs that improve kidney function include: buchu tea; celery; parsley; cranberries; dandelion root; hydrangea; uva ursi; marshamllow tea; cornsilk tea; goldenrod tea; juniper berries; nettle; red clover.

Hi, the way they explained it in my dad's case was that the excess calcuim was blocking up his kidneys.  The calcium comes from the bones as the cancer erodes them.  The kidneys can't handle too much, so dialysis may be required at some point.

IIRC; reabsorbtion in the renal tubules( more in the proximal rather than the distal tubule).

To answer this question, you will need to consult with your doctor.  A radiologist will have to review the CT scan with you doctor in order to determine the significance of the irregular density in the lower poles of your kidneys. You may require an additional CT scan with contrast or and MRI with contrast to determine what these densities are.\n\nA 'renal scan' will not be helpful in this case.  This is a 'functional' test and measures the ability of the kidneys to excrete (pass) a nuclear 'dye'.  It can be used to compare function between your kidney and is often used as a test to help determine a condition where there is decreased blood flow to one of the kidneys (a condition called renal artery stenosis).\n\nIt is important to make sure that these densities are a normal variant and not something that you have to worry about (for example kidney cancer).  Given that they are in the same location and on both sides I would think that this is highly unlikely, but this is always important to determine.  Suggested further testing, if needed, is usually part of a CT report, but I would make sure that these densities are benign.\n\nUnfortunately, you are complaining of pain.  Irregular densities, solitary cysts, and even cancers rarely cause pain.  Medical testing is designed to eliminate (rule out) causes of diseases that are harmful and usually does a good job of this.  However, the absence of any findings on the CT  to explain the pain you are experiencing does not mean that the cause of the pain can't be determined or that the pain can't be treated.  There are many causes of back pain/kidney pain that are not picked up by a CT.\n\nPlease follow up with your doctor and make sure he or she is answering your questions.  Best of luck.

to best of my knowledge,it is done with radioactive material to acess the functioning of both the kidneys,right and left, of patients.it is done by giving radioactive dye intravenously and then taking abdominal films of the kidneys and the whole urinary tract down.it provides useful pics of functions of kidneys in case they are damaged due to infections, stones,highblood pressure ,cancer,or any harmful chemicals.they also provide information regarding birth defects in the kidneys.

Renal cancer is a cancer in the Kidney. Any cancer in the kidney could be thought of as renal cancer. My Mom gave me one of hers for a transplant. Today I found out her brother ( my uncle) had part of one of his removed because of cancer in his kidney.\nI tried to cheer him up asking if he had compared scares with my mom. He hadn't but laughed. Their mom and my sister both died of cancer. It worried me about my mom. Hope you have the best of health.\nJust in case there are tests described here:\n\nhttp://www.testsymptomsathome.com/fs_can0.asp?portalID=GOT&OVRAW=Newest%20faster%20cancer%20test&OVKEY=cancer%20test&OVMTC=advanced

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.

This can be VERY serious. You need too see a Doctor Preferable a Neurologist or Urologist. From the link below.\n\nHematuria is the presence of blood, specifically red blood cells, in the urine. Whether the blood is visible only under a microscope or visible to the naked eye, hematuria is a sign that something is causing bleeding in the genitourinary tract: the kidneys, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), the prostate gland (in men), the bladder, or the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body (urethra). \n\nBleeding may happen once or it may be recurrent. It can indicate different problems in men and women. Causes of this condition range from non-life threatening (e.g., urinary tract infection) to serious (e.g., cancer, kidney disease). Therefore, a physician should be consulted as soon as possible.

You probably have a kidney infection.  You should see a doctor.  Also try drinking more water and cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail, but real 100% cranberry juice) to flush out your system.

glomerulus in kidney keeps protein out of urine and probably the loop of Henle and possibly the bladder would be damaged if protein was found in large amounts.
