I'm getting a lipids, and radiology test done on my kidenys. I'm not over weight, I weight 130 pounds 5'4 30 years old and my blood pressure is 170/101, I have a low pth low vitamin D and high clacium but EGFR (kidneys says > 60. I guess anyting over 90 is good soI'm in the stage 1 or 2 area? I noticed my skin itches, urin will smell like my drink say grape juiceif I drink a lot of it, and I think I got liver spots because I ganined 18 new beauty marks on face and neck a few on arms. will these go away? I think my kidneys arent filtering my hormones and minerals correctly becaue I sleep all day and I feel confussed. i don't even feel right, sometimes I feel like I'm a man on estrogen now.lol

No one here can diagnose you.

You mentioned a few things that caught my eye:

skin itches, beauty marks, confusion, fatigue.

These are signs of liver cell damage...but we

cannot be sure.



If your blood work shows higher liver enzymes/

liver function tests: higher bilirubin (which can

cause itching if it goes higher in the blood);

if these spots look like little tiny spiders under

the skin (known as spider angiomas)...

it could be you have a liver disease.



EGFR is your glomeral filtration rate.

http://www.kidneyfund.org/kidney-health/kidney-basics/kidney-test-egfr.html

Above 60 is normal and that means that your blood

is being filtered by the kidneys fine.

However, High blood pressure of 170/101 is not

normal and if it stays high can damage your kidneys.



High calcium levels and low Vitamin D...the

[Parathyroid gland which is located on the thyroid

gland itself controls calcium in the body...as

you can see on the site below...high calcium can

cause a lower PTH test result.

http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/pth/tab/test

It depends on how high the calcium in the body is. The vitamin

D is used to put the calcium into your bones. Without

a normal levels of Vit D...it could be pulling the

calcium out of your bones and this could lead

to osteopenia or osteoporosis.



I believe it might be good for them to test your

glucose levels. It is a simple test. Sweet smelling

urine or the need to go to the bathroom more often

than normal is a sign of diabetes.



I hope this info has been of help. No one

can truly diagnose you but your doctor.

Best wishes

Have you had him checked for a urinary tract illness, Cushings, and bladder stones? Also, there are meds that can support - our puppy is on chlorpheneramine (I believe that is how it is spelled) for allergic reactions, and it has the facet end result of preventing her sleep incontinence. It does not influence all puppies that approach, however it should support. On a useful facet, they make water-proof crib bed pads (we received ours within the youngster component to Target) that experience smooth flocking on either side with a water-proof barrier among them. We placed them at the sofa, and many others. wherein our puppy almost always sleeps, so while she does have an coincidence, it is plenty less complicated to scrub up.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.



They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!



This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.



It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
