Hello to all you wonderful people and thankyou for responding my post and offering wonderful advice....as i mentioned in my post a couple of days earlier...my right kidney has been hurting that no amount of painkillers will help ease the pain....i woke up throughout the night on saturday...constantly wanting to go to the toilet so i knew then that i must have some kind of urine infeftion....but also my kidney..it hurt everytime i had to drink water....(how ironic???)...so i woke up saturday morning and decided enough is enough i have put up with this kidney and constant urinating for 2 wks so i left my oldest daughter (19yrs) in charge of her siblings and drove my self to the ER....i was shivering and cold sweats that the hospital took me in straight away....they first performed an ECG to rule out any heart condition....then gave me some blood work and a urine test.and also a repeat ct scan...put me on an IV and i waited.....ok these are my results.....
The diagnoses was Renal disease/Nephropathy..This 39yr old lady with a known history of renal mass, awaiting heminephrectomy presented with worsening loin pain with some dysuria...a CT renal was performed to rule out bleeding into the tumor...CT confirms a renal mass in the superior pole of the right kidney (4x2x4.4cm)..there was no evidence of haemorrhage or hydronephrosis...there was an incidental finding of a right ovarian cyst..the patient has been discharged with analgesia and a course of antibiotics (FWT+ve for leucocytes and nitirites)...
so please tell me what you all think of this...i was sent home and i wasnt happy and made sure the doctors knew how i felt bout all this....
god bless all
