What To Do For Stage 3 Kidney Failure?

Hi, I am a 41 yr old woman with stage 3 kidney failure, have no ins & cannot qualify for Medical.I am having severe bodu aches with slight fever and my back is extremely achy & sensitive. I get throbing sharp pain through out my body that is intolerable, cannot find any thing to soothe. I last was seen by a DR 2 yrs ago & still have pending ER visit in the thousands, so going back and adding to my debt is not appealing. Advice would be greatly appreciated

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,let me convey, that kidney function has 5 stages of failure.
As kidney function deteriorates, the stage goes up. This is tested by checking, patient for swelling,urine routine and culture,microalbumin and protein,blood Hb,creatinine,urea,potassium,uric acid,sugar,ECG,chest X-ray, and ultrasound scan of abdomen.
With these reports,your stage of kidney function can be staged, and proper treatment is advised. Fever is likely to be,due to infection.I advise you to see a Nephrologist at the earliest, with the reports. You can get my expert opinion,by sending the reports to me, as a direct question.
