What Could Cause Kidney Failure?
I saw my family doc yesterday, she said that three of my major organs appear to be shutting down; pancreas, liver and kidneys. I started with hep c, then kidneys would not release fluid, couldn't urinate and if I did was very dark brown, and I've had deep abdominal pain that goesw to my back under ribs on right side with light and oily stools. I am setting an appointment with my gastronologist, but can't get in right away - have been very sick with flu symptoms, vomiting, watery stool, head aches, etc...should I go to ER?

Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
As your family doc has said you've multi-organ failure,you must go to the ER.
This has to be managed urgently,otherwise the organ function will worsen.
You'll need to do blood tests and a CT or MRI scan,or to know their function.
According to the reports,an expert opinion can be given,about treatment.
So, go to the ER urgently. Wish you well.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.
