Glory be to GOD Almighty! I received intensive care and treatment at LUTH and I was placed on hemodialysis and given several blood transfusion and later was placed on blood boosting medication. Last time I had dialysis was in March 2016 and I have been freed from dialysis and I am now able to do things that I love doing and also resumed back to work before the end of that same year. Initially i lost hopes and I thought that I was going to die simply because my case was very severe and my blood pressure was very high, blood sugar levels was low, creatinine level was very high, BUN (blood urea Nitrogen) level was very high, PCV ( Percentage of Cell Volume) was extremely low, but Thank GOD for my life today. I didn't do a transplant but I took caution, i listened to the health workers, i avoid some certain foods, i adopted a new lifestyle, i do adequate medical check-up, takes my medication accordingly and completely avoid self medication.

THANK GOD FOR YOUR LIFE BRO. SO WHAT KINDA FOOD DO YOU EAT NOW HOPE YOU STAY AWAY FROM SUGARY FOOD AND ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

This is a good thread and an eye opener to young ones. May God continue to uphold you.

Mrkumareze:
Lucky you, a colleague just survived it for the second time. Alcohol is the first suspect we really get to be careful of what we ear dis days

Don't leave out diabetes, high blood pressure and consumption of local herbal mixture as well as abuse of pain killers drugs and bleaching creams. Lucky him.

SWATMan:
May the Lord shine his countenance upon you and heal you from this sickness in Jesus name!

they have come with their useless prayers again. Smh

As at today 8th of February 2022, It has been about 6years that I was diagnosed with stage 3 Acute kidney disease.

I begin to feel sick in January 2016 with symptoms of malaria and begin treating my malaria via self medication and later having fever with a very high body temperature.

I couldn't eat, i was very weak and I can't do anything but only to lay on the bed. I couldn't sleep during the day and at night and still doing self medication because of lack of money.

My sickness continues for some days and was still taking over the counter drugs until a bad day when I fainted and later get up and asked my neighbor to take me to a pharmacy to buy drug again but I was rejected and was advised to go to the hospital.

I was admitted at private hospital where a blood transfusion and some other treatment was given to me and I was discharged from the hospital 4days. I was at home taking the drugs given to me at the hospital and seems to be getting better but after some days, my health begins getting worse.

At this time i couldn't eat and I will throw up if I try putting anything in my mouth and drinking water was the only thing. Lost of appetite, fatigue and heartburn was on the high side and I have to go back to the hospital to put up my complains which I did and I was given some drugs (for heartburn and sleeping pills) to treat my illness.

Haven taken the drugs for few days and I begin going to the toilet several times a day but having difficulty to defecate and urinate. My stool was dark and my urine was little and very dark too.

This continues for some days until I begin to observe that I'm swelling. My stomach was protruding, my face and legs were swollen, i couldn't sleep at night and always having difficulty in breathing and was more severe at night.

I went to another private hospital and i was referred to Luth (Lagos State University Teaching Hospital) immediately after a test result shows that my PCV was at 10%. I was admitted in LUTH and several test were done and at that time my PCV had increased to 12% after taking malt and milk to replenish and gain some strength.

Sadly on the next day, I was diagnosed with kidney failure (Acute Kidney Disease) with stage 3 GFR and Chronic anaemia.

the God that delivered me from liver disease with his miraculous hands will do it for you, just believe and remind him of his promises in Luke 1:37 and also John 14:14 your testimony is sure.

Pls what simple medical test can one do to ascertain if the kidney is in good condition

To God be the glory.. Our God is so great.

Don't thank God.

Thank science and just a little beat of efficiency and expertise that we see in Nigeria (most of the time it is in our healthcare sector).

They saved your life!

I feel so happy and refreshed reading your testimony. I think medical personnel should mention cases where people survive these 'terminal diseases' that are terminal because of our perception of local healthcare and lack of funds.

Our insurance system also need to be revamped. I don't think there is any insurance scheme that pays for these terminal diseases

Renal function test (RFT),they will check your creatine level and or GFR

Severe dehydration can trigger acute kidney injury with low GFR. Water is very important.

Simple test is Urinalysis.

But encapsulating is Renal Function Test.

Urine analysis: To test for the presence of abnormal constituents of urine.

Blood Test ( Electrolyte, Urea and Creatinine): This answers the questions like is the kidney filtering the necessary waste products, level of hydration, acidity.

Clearance: The glomerular (Kidney)Filtration rate. You make use of urine samples for extrapilating this.

LIVINGICON:
Quite an enlightening piece.
The ways young people are coming down with end stage renal failure is rather too alarmingly, no thanks to their unhealthy lifestyle. When you tell them you don't drink alcohol, they see you as weird. At the end na their liver and kidneys go still feel am.

Alcohol is even better... These kids take codeine one bottle, rephnol, trammadol all to get high

These are drug overdose

Thank God you are fine now... can you share what kind of food you avoided.... this could help someone out there ...

This is why you should always drink a lot of water during the day. Water (in litres) to drink a day = Your Weight (in Kg) multiplied by 0.033.

If you are 100kg.. It means you must drink 100*0.033= 3.3Litres of water per day.

A must.

Subject highly informative.

PCB means Packed Cell Volume.

It is a test or procedure used to
estimate your level of RBC in relation
to the blood volume.

Thank God for you and as you have gotten experience be conscious of what you eat and your lifestyle however I think Redeem has free treatment for people having similar challenges pls find out

I thank God for ur life. However u are being managed for chronic kidney disease CKD and not acute kidney injury if your renal function test is still not optimal.
