What Causes Tiredness, Frequent Urination, Swollen Abdomen And White Dots In Kidney?
Hi Doctor. Can I ask you a question. After months of suffering nausea. Swollen abdomen and legs. High frequency in urination. Plus constant tiredness. My doctor booked in a kidney ultrasound. Which revealed, several white dots in my left kidney. My GP tells me he had no diagnosis? And that I would need a intravenous urogram. I am now anxiously waiting on those results. Have you any ideas on what it is these dots/ white areas could be? Most grateful for any help Lisa.
Most probably the white dots might be kidney stones. However, we should rule out kidney sclerosis. So, better book an appointment with nephrologist to check the functioning and morphology of the kidneys. Do not get anxious unnecessarily. To me, you should focus more on conducting a healthy diet with less salty, processed, sugary and frizzy foods and drinks.
Plus, you should increase more liquid intake including fresh prepared fruit juice like plum/peach/apple juice with no added sugar. As you might have been prescribed so many antibiotics, I advise to discuss with your caring doctor to consider intestinal candida overgrowth and treat it adequately.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
