| Re: Any one know what these symptoms mean? I'd send this person to their GP for a complete work up and let him decide the course of action. |

| Super Moderator | Re: Any one know what these symptoms mean? Sounds like he needs to go to an ER and get seen. Depending on what's going on, they'll probalby want to admit him for a few days and find out what's going on. Andrew Lopez, RN http://www.4nursing.com |

| Re: Any one know what these symptoms mean? CKD.. And he/she probably didn't get it from a pub.. Edema- excess fluid from failing kidneys Chronic cough- again fluid build up maybe PE. Blurred vision - probably from underlying cause DM Type II Severe leg pain- r/t to edema Depression - r/t to chronic illness Many diabetics are. Clear urine- headed toward ERSD kidneys overcompensating Tea colored urine- blood in urine from kidney deterioration Frequency- again overcompensation for failing kidneys Hives- elevated phosphorus low calcium They are inversely proportional Leg cramps- Low CA+ elevated K+ r/t kidney failure Nausea- r/t uremia Flank pain.. And just where are the kidneys? Generalized weakness. Kidney's secrete hormone that stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells. The kidneys are failing here if not already failed. Renal profile, I bet ya my last $ the Bun and Creat are off the wall .. Phos is HIGH,( causing itching and the hives are probably from scratching) K+ is High H/H low. Ca low. Have a surgeon handy to insert IJ for immediate acute hemodialysis. WR,,, three commas for Becca |
