Are there any symptoms that indicate high creatinine?
Kidney disease is a silent disease and needs to be monitored. Most patients will not have symptoms till it advances to stage 5. Other than symptoms of edema, rest come at advanced renal failure ( stage 5) and at that point people suffer from nausea, metallic taste, loss of appetite, worsening mental status due to uremia etc. For management and stabilization of kidney disease it's very important to regularly see your kidney doctor so they can monitor not just the Creatinine levels but also other issues like acid base balance, electrolytes esp potassium level in order to manage the chronic kidney disease medically till it is too advanced and needs dialysis or transplant READ MORE

Hyperuricemia can cause stones as well as slow decline in kidney function depending on high high the uric acid levels in blood are.

Fever and chills can happen if there is an infection of urinary tract. Sometimes stones can cause obstruction and there can be infection even involving the kidneys ( even a renal/ perinephric abscess can occur). It's important to get blood and urine cultures checked. Please call your doctor and see them asap READ MORE
Can dark yellow urine be a sign of a kidney problem?
As long as you are not dehydrated, there could be some concern related to dark urine. If it's dark brownish red, then yes, there could be blood in urine or concern for glomerular disorder. If it's dark yellow, then it could be that your bilirubin is high due to liver issues. You should get your labs checked. READ MORE

Can excessive urination be a sign of a kidney problem?
Depends on the volume and frequency. If it is a large volume that you urinate frequently, then there are some diseases like diabetes insipidus and also diabetes mellitis that may be a cause. Otherwise, if you are urinating frequently, but small volumes, then prostate issues or urinary outlet obstruction can be a problem. READ MORE

Is dialysis a painful process?
It's not a painful process, but given your age, if your BMI is less than 30, then you need to apply for transplant also while starting dialysis. I am a big transplant advocate and try to get my patients to lose weight before their GFR drops to <20 and try to get them a transplant before they go on dialysis. If your labs (potassium, BUN, acidosis) are indicative of need to start dialysis then use that as a bridge to transplant. Kidney transplant will give you a better quality of life and a longer life span, too. READ MORE

Dytor i.e. Torsemide does not cause drowsiness. It's either uremia or her other medications causing it READ MORE

We just don't go by GFR but overall health condition to decide dialysis initiation. That includes abnormal labs and uremic symptoms like somnolence, confusions along with abnormal labs. At Cr of 5.5 she should surely get a dialysis access asap so it matures before she is started on HD READ MORE

She has CKD stage 5. Has her physician referred her for access placement? It's not just the creatinine, but other markers with it, like fluid overload, high potassium, symptoms like loss of appetite or nausea/vomiting, etc., that make dialysis more urgent. If you are in Dallas and need to see someone asap, call my office at 2143582300 and I can see her urgently and even assess if she is a transplant candidate. READ MORE
