Kidney disease or something else? Please help!? |
My boyfriend has blood and protein in his urine. His urine if very foamy...almost looks like someone filled the toilet with dish soap and then flushed. He has always drunk a lot of water and was pretty healthy. Greydoc: He has had an ultrasound done, and also had the IVP done. The urologist thought that he may have IGA nephropathy but could not be sure, and didn't want to do a kidney biopsy. Any thoughts on why they wouldn't want to do the biopsy? Your friend needs a thorough urological work-up including an ultrasound, possibly an excretory urogram (IVP), and maybe even a needle biopsy of the kidney. The normal creatinine level is good. Additional blood tests would be helpful. im not a M.D, but working on it and from personal experience I would say this could be leukemia which is a type of blood cancer. There are 29 different conditions that could cause his symtoms. you can try webmd.com but talk to his doctors about a bone marrow sample |
