For those with kidney disease or nephritis.. What were your symptoms?..
Fluid on lower legs, ankle and feet, the doctors found protein in my urine (blood that you can't see) you can have blood that you can see as well, fatigue or more than normal, you can have stomach pain and lower back pain as well. But the biggest of these were the protein and the levels of it increasing and other tests run by my rheumatologis and the signs and symptoms that I gave them (unknowingly) that helped the most. That is why you must be completely honest and open with your Rheumatologist and don't care if you sound crazy or like you symptoms don't match. I use to apologize for that all the time until my Dr. said "don't apologize only you know your body intimately so only you can tell me what is going on and if you knew what the diagnosis are going to be you wouldn't need me. Your job is to give me the information I need to do my job and diagnose and treat you for the right illness. So do your job so I can do mine and by the way you've been doing an excellent job". ππππ so I say to you "Do your job" and I pray your Dr will do his/hersπππΎππΎ
There are many symptoms, leg pain, fatigue, dehydration, anemia, nausea, high blood pressure, flank pain, headache, nausea, swelling of head and extremities , rashes, chills, bad taste in your mouth , urination changes ie; color, smell, frequency and taste (just kidding on the taste). I think that's all of them
Oh and super foamy pee, looks like beer with foam and bubbles
I don't have that problem, thank god. I will pray for all of you.
When I was in the hospital for mrsa in 2013 they check the amount of protein in my urine. That's why I am on mycophenalate for my kidneys.
