This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 51-year-old male who has diabetes. For my diabetic problem, I am using Insulin Human Actrapid daily 10 units. Therefore, I am getting weak and getting fits. So far, I have had five fits. I got a CT scan of the brain, and there was a small blood clot in the brain. I also have pain in the left side of the abdomen, and I vomit. I did not have a bowel movement for five days. Please help me get better.

I had two lumps on my back. One of the lumps was removed with surgery, but it is not healing. The other lump is near my shoulder, which is very painful. I have indigestion, and I vomit as soon as I eat food. I have attached all my reports.

Kindly guide.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I went through all your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have a urinary infection, which is causing all your symptoms of vomiting and abdominal pain. The kidneys are not removing toxins from your body, and their accumulation is causing all symptoms. At present, you need to get admitted and start hemodialysis through a temporary catheter, that is, antibiotics and blood transfusion. I suggest you get the following tests done:

  1. Urine culture and sensitivity.
  2. Serum bicarbonate.
  3. Calcium and phosphorus.
  4. Ultrasound KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder).
  5. Post-void residual urine test.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
