Q&A

Answered by Dr. Pranaw Kumar Jha

Are my kidneys okay if I had a protein leak years ago?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Going by the history given by you, it seems that you had proteinuria (that is, protein leaking in the urine due to some defect in the kidneys). There are multiple conditions that can lead to proteinuria. The treatment varies depending upon the cause, which can be established by a kidney biopsy.

I have PKD and my BP spikes within 2-3 days. Why?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The causes of this accelerated phase could be multiple. Is there any change in dietary habit with increased salt intake? Any recent change in antihypertensive? Did you by any chance miss antihypertensive medications? Any consumption of pain killer NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)? If none of this is true sometimes it could be just because of variation in weather with winters starting. My advice will be to continue with Lisinopril as advised. As HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) is causing hyponatremia I will stop that and can add Tolvaptan which has been approved specially for ADPKD (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease).
