Suggest Treatment For Fever And Pain In The Kidney Area

I currently am miserable with kidney pain. I had a CT scan that showed bilateral kidney stones but then this was also in my CT report which I now will need to see a GI guy - have an appt on tuesday but honestly, I am so miserable with my kidneys that I am unsure I need to go?? Could this just be related to the kidney stones or truly should I see a separate specialist? THANK YOU in advance - I have had strange bouts of nausea, shakiness, just generally feeling MISERABLE - and have run a low grade fever on and off since freaking February. Hoping it is just my kidneys acting up - but would like to figure out why I am a wreck. here is the findings: Mild prominence in transverse dimension of the common bile duct, common hepatic duct, and intrahepatic bile ducts is seen slightly increased in degree compared to the prior exam. There is also mild prominence of the main pancreatic duct. Therefore, a distal common duct stone, stricture, or ampullary lesion cannot be excluded. Nephro lithiasis is seen without ureteral calculus or ureteral obstruction. No focal renal parenchymal lesion is identified. There does however appear to be suggestion of mild diffuse thickening of the wall of the urinary bladder and cystitis cannot be excluded

Hi,

This maybe is caused by urinary infection including kidneys infection or urinary stones so you should do urine analysis, urinoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these out which are most common causes. You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water until you do tests. You should reduce salt in your diet as well, alcohol and carbonated drinks. In most cases, this is self-limiting but sometimes antibiotics are required and more invasive tests such as cystoscopy or pyelography or CT scan. Less common causes include tumors, glomerulonephritis and metabolic diseases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
