Can a UTI prevent me from finding out I’m pregnant?
So a serious urinary tract infections (with high levels of WBC, RBC and nitrite) can occasionally cause a false POSITIVE pregnancy test result-- meaning the test may result positive but one may not be actually pregnant. It may be reasonable to get the UTI diagnosed and treated (if present) and then repeat the test or get in touch with your Gynecologist for further recommendations. Hope this helps! Ravish Shah..

How can I fix kidney injury after COVID?
Unfortunately, the severity of acute kidney injury really depends on several factors such as patient's kidney functions prior to the illness, the duration of the illness, other comorbid conditions, whether patient required dialysis or not, as well as patient's recovery from COVID illness it self, to name a few. In general, there is no specific "treatment", for acute kidney injury. The so called "traditional risk factors", for kidney disease will need to be managed appropriately which includes high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, heart disease as well as obesity, to name a few. One would need to avoid regular use of nonsteroidal pain medications as well. Hope this helps! Ravish Shah, MD.. READ MORE
