kidney specialist

A:well i don't know about Singapore but i can suggest India which cost less and very good doctors are available spl. in hospitals like care, global and kaminieni in Hyderabad, India.

A:The physician should have referred you to a Nephrologist or Urologist then and there, it's hard to believe that you've gone along for so long without any followup. It appears that the condition was misdiagnosed the first time around but the story gets worse as you relate it for you should have been sent to a specialist after the MRI. Don't waste any time, this could be very serious.

A:A patient with that amount of kidney function loss would no doubt already be under the care of a nephrologist (kidney specialist) I think this question seems a little odd since I would have to wonder without medical specialty care how on earth she A) knows she has only 1/3 of 1 kidney functioning and B) how does she know she has tumors. It is common for diabetics to be on dialysis and this person would undoubtedly be on dialysis again prescribed by a physician at some level. Are you sure you really have all the facts here?

A:The wastes in your blood come from the normal breakdown of active muscle and from the food you eat. Your body uses the food for energy and self-repair. After your body has taken what it needs from the food, waste is sent to the blood. If your kidneys did not remove these wastes, the wastes would build up in the blood and damage your body. The actual filtering occurs in tiny units inside your kidneys called nephrons. Every kidney has about a million nephrons. In the nephron, tiny blood vessels called capillaries intertwine with tiny urine-carrying tubes called tubules. A complicated chemical exchange takes place, as waste materials and water leave your blood and enter your urinary system. At first, the tubules receive a combination of waste materials and chemicals that your body can still use. Your kidneys measure out chemicals like sodium, phosphorus, and potassium and release them back to the blood to return to the body. In this way, your kidneys regulate the body's level of these substances. The right balance is necessary for life, but excess levels can be harmful. In the nephron (left), tiny blood vessels intertwine with urine-collecting tubes. Each kidney contains about 1 million nephrons.

A:While I do not personally suffer from this condition I have done a lot of research on this and other kidney related diseases. More than likely your son may have inherited this disease from his father. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder and it can be passed on to children, who may be afflicted with the disease from a young age. The danger with this disease is that the cysts can slowly replace much of the kidney tissue, reducing kidney function and ultimately lead to kidney failure. Please follow the advice of your health care provider and ensure that your son eats a balanced diet and detoxify at least once a year. God bless you and your family.
