I need some advice about my current kidney problems
Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 11:03 pm
Hello everyone! Last week I had severe diarrhea due to over taking of laxatives that caused me dehydration. I eventually went to the hospital and doctors treated the dehydration. I took blood test and while I didn't pay attention to it at the time, I had a 1.05 creatinine level and 6 BUN. I don't believe I ate much that day.
Flash forward a couple of days. I started having severe left kidney pains that eventually stopped hurting but still some small pains. That night I was trying to go to sleep and felt pains all through my body to the point it would hit me and wake me up. I would describe these pains as sharp,pins and needle type of pains. I went to the ER yesterday and long story short, I did blood work and had a 1.14 creatinine level and 13 bun, which is still normal but I noticed the increase. I had a urinalysis that came back negative for everything. They did CT scans and a ultrasound and found nothing wrong with my kidneys. The day before I went to my primary doctor and had the same test taken without eating or drinking. Those test results don't come to next week. I'm also seeing a neurologist tommorow morning to see if I can take an official GfR test. Has anyone experienced this before they were diagnosed? Are these symptoms possible without an advanced form of Kidney failure? I am a bit nervous about potential kidney failure.
My left side kidney pain has subsided but I have itching and sharp tingling/pins and needles pain all over my body, both of which are signs of kidney failure
