Suggest Remedy For Night Sweats And Tiredness With Kidney Functioning At 60%
Question: I am a 74 year old woman, with only one kidney. It has gone down to 60% and a 40% billirubin. I have all the normal symptons but not the swelling. What are my options?
I urinate about every hour with all kinds of color and a foul smell. Some times the urine flows normal some times it just comes out with no force. I am in excellent health other wise, no blood pressure problems or any other problem. I have horrible night sweats, and tired all the time.

Brief Answer:
Further diagnostics of urinary tract advisable
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
Since you are describing colored urine and foul smell a urinary tract infection should be ruled out first through urine test and blood test for inflammation. Also an ultrasound of the bladder and remaining kidney is advisable to rule out any conditions like bladder stones, any flow problems in urethra and ureter-tube and other potential urinary tract conditions.
The therapy options depend on the findings in the above suggested diagnostics, best be done by a urologist, but you can also get things started with a general practitioner.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarifications you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
