My mother is 48 years old, she was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure and kidney failure. My mother’s kidney is only functioning less than 20%, she also had high blood pressure and they are trying to keep her blood count up. My mother is a diabetic, the docs said that the high blood pressure scarred her kidneys. My mother was not a drinker or a smoker. This is all new to me, i am afraid of her passing away too soon. Any advice or info will br greatly appreciated. I want to know if she could still live a healthy life after this…she was told that she may eventually have to receive dialysis treatment and get a kidney transplant.

This is a 22 years old male talking.
I have been getting little pain near my lung area. It not the kidney stone because I check with my mother. I don’t know if it the muscle or something clog in my blood stream. I took asperin last night for my headache but it didn’t remove the pain. I could try that again if it improve. The pain is between the 3 -5 on the scale of 10. Usually it get to 5 but it seem to drop down to 3-4. I was ask by my mother if I want to go to hospital. My main concern is going to hospital while being uninsured. She have some kind of plan but I don’t know.
My diet is little awkward. It not fast food everyday but it pretty much on the budget since I am on short income. I eat cereal and macroni and cheese.
I stay up to work on something and go to bed late this week. My activity is only the computer. I don’t know why but other guy my ages are working second shift on medium labour. Why me?
Any doctor or nurse want to take a break to answer someone question?
I am average far as the ratio of height to weight.
I am not a smoker nor do I eat fast food everyday. It not like I have the money to do it.
Someone told me it bronchities, I however don’t have any cough.

My mom, a smoker aged 61, had a kidney removed some two years ago because of kidney cancer. A recent CT scan has shown signs that cancer may have spread to her leg bone and liver. I am anxious to know what effective treatment options are available.

A close friend( 43 y. age, non smoker) was diagnosed with kidney cancer at the end of August. The cancer is 15cm large and has invaded vena cava, plus one of the nodes. No metastases were found in the other organs.
Has been given Sutent to shrink the tumour, but did not finish the course as started urinating blood. Had 2 blood transfusions recently.
The oncologist has not suggested any other treatment.Anyone know how much time he has with his family or anything that can be done for him?
Thank you.

I recently went for my annual pap, my urine sample showed a trace of blood. They sent me to a Urologist for further testing. When the Urologist did a urine sample, blood was present at a level 1 (4 being the worst). I was sent to the hospital for an x-ray to see if it’s a kidney stone, nothing showed. He "felt around" and didn’t find any lumps, says he doesn’t think it’s any kind of growth because I’m 29 and a non-smoker. Now he wants to run another test, which involves running a tube up to my bladder to see if anything is going on. My only symptom is that a urinate a little more frequently than usual. The problem is I don’t have any insurance, and these office visits and tests are ridiculous costs. What should I do, keep going or just forget it? Any kinds of natural cures for clearing out your urine stream?
