#kidney

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Well, had my pre-op meeting with my #Urologist. Saw the pics from my #CTScan. Dang, that mass is big! Saying it was 4 inches long isn't the same as seeing that it's the size and approximate shape of a large orange. And, with a mass that size, it's 99% sure that it's #cancer. On the upside, my chest x-ray was clear, and there's no sign of any spread beyond the mass itself, so with surgical removal of the #kidney, that will be that. No #chemo or #radiation necessary, just periodic scans. /1

Okay, I just had some medical news and it's taking a bit to process it. I had a CT scan day before yesterday because the nephrologist found something on my right #kidney in an ultrasound and he sent me to a urologist to figure out what it is. Urologist just called a bit ago and it's a mass about 4 inches long. So looking at surgery to remove that kidney. I know I'm going to have anxiety attack later, but now feeling a bit numb. Any #single #kidney folks out there with advice?

t.coEsperion Therapeutics: Deep Understanding and Growing Confidence | BioWorldSponsored Content: Esperion Therapeutics' intense focus on the inhibition of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) and the company's exceptional use of population-based data and multi-omics have revealed much about ACLY's essential role in cellular metabolism and its potentially dangerous role in certain disease pathways. At its recent R&D Day in New York, Esperion shared plans to advance a product candidate against a devastating form of liver disease and foreshadowed a growing pipeline of ACLY inhibitors targeting other rare and chronic liver and kidney diseases.

"Using US healthcare data from over 280,000 adults, researchers found that #COVID19 doubled the 12-month risk of advanced chronic #kidney disease compared to influenza even in patients without early kidney injury."

NatureAssociation between COVID-19 and the development of chronic kidney disease in patients without initial acute kidney injury - Scientific ReportsWhile the association between COVID-19 and acute kidney injury (AKI) is well documented, the impact of COVID-19 on the development of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear, particularly in patients without initial AKI. Using the TriNetX healthcare database, we conducted a matched cohort study comparing 141,587 COVID-19 and 141,587 influenza patients. We excluded patients with AKI within one month of infection and matched groups on demographics, comorbidities, and baseline laboratory values. The primary outcome was the incidence of advanced CKD (stages 3–5) at the 12-month follow-up. COVID-19 patients showed higher 12-month risks of advanced CKD (hazard ratio [HR]:2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.69–2.42, p < 0.0001), AKI (HR 3.04, 95%CI:2.61–3.55, p < 0.0001), and estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR:3.01, 95%CI:2.74–3.30, p < 0.0001) compared to influenza patients. Subgroup analyses showed consistently elevated risks across sexes and in patients over 45 years, while younger patients did not demonstrate an increased risk of advanced CKD at the 12-month follow-up. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension have emerged as the strongest predictors of advanced CKD development. In conclusion, COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of long-term renal dysfunction compared with influenza, suggesting the need for extended monitoring of kidney function in high-risk populations.

"Hands" is a song by American singer #Jewel, released as the first #single from her second studio album, #Spirit (1998). Jewel wrote the song following an incident in which she considered stealing a #sundress after getting fired from various jobs due to #kidney troubles, and she decided that her hands were better suited to writing songs than stealing clothes. Written as one of the last songs for the album.

What's scary is the following re 90% ... 👇

"Around 90% of people with #kidney disease—9 in 10 adults—don’t know they have it. Why? Kidney disease often has no symptoms until its later stages. Many people are also unaware of their risk factors and don’t know when to get tested."

‼️ 90% ‼️

Take a moment to let that sink in.

I was not told that I have #CKD until I was diagnosed with #ESKD three years later in the ER.
