How many meals a day were you eating? Did the doc say anything about what could have caused the scar tissue buildup?Severe pain and couldn’t keep anything down

How many meals a day were you eating? Did the doc say anything about what could have caused the scar tissue buildup?Severe pain and couldn’t keep anything down
eq might be more detrimental to kidney health as wellIs that true about Trenbolone being one of the few injectables hars for the kidneys??
eq might be more detrimental to kidney health as well
But as is well known by now all androgens fuck up the kidneys it's one of the reasons men live shorter lives...
having test 5 times higher than normal for a decade is not going to be good in general anyway nevermijd all the other shit we use ,dht, nandrolones etc, come at me primo guys )
He explained it to me today. I have a rare medical issue called congenital band syndromHow many meals a day were you eating? Did the doc say anything about what could have caused the scar tissue buildup?
God I wish people would stop pulling ChatGPT crap for us to respond to. Not doing it.Is scally md still posting here. Just read through the findings with this patient and feel like I have a very sim problem. I don’t have high blood pressure or poor kidney function yet though. This is what I’m finding on this condition
Calcium deposits in the renal interstitium are accumulations of calcium salts (usually calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate) in the spaces between the kidney's tubules, which is known as the **renal interstitium**. This condition is often referred to as **nephrocalcinosis**. The interstitium is a critical area that supports the kidney’s functional structures, such as the tubules and blood vessels.
### Causes of Calcium Deposits in the Renal Interstitium (Nephrocalcinosis)
Several conditions can lead to calcium deposits in the kidney’s interstitial tissue:
1. **Hypercalcemia**: Elevated levels of calcium in the blood, which may be caused by hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D toxicity, or certain cancers.
2. **Hypercalciuria**: Excessive calcium excretion in the urine, which can result from conditions like idiopathic hypercalciuria or excess dietary calcium intake.
3. **Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)**: Impaired kidney function can lead to disturbances in calcium and phosphate metabolism, promoting calcium deposition.
4. **Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA)**: This condition causes the kidneys to become unable to acidify urine properly, leading to increased calcium levels in the kidney.
5. **Medullary Sponge Kidney**: A congenital disorder where cysts form in the kidney's collecting ducts, increasing the risk of calcium deposits.
6. **Sarcoidosis**: An inflammatory condition that can lead to hypercalcemia and calcium deposits in the kidney.
7. **Chronic Dehydration**: This can concentrate calcium in the urine, increasing the likelihood of precipitation and deposition in the renal tissue.
### Effects on the Kidneys
Calcium deposits in the renal interstitium can interfere with kidney function and lead to several potential outcomes:
1. **Reduced Kidney Function**: If calcium deposits are extensive, they can cause damage to the kidney’s filtering units, leading to a decline in function over time.
2. **Kidney Stones**: Calcium deposits in the kidneys are closely related to the formation of **kidney stones**, which can block urine flow and cause pain and infections.
3. **Chronic Inflammation**: The presence of calcium in the interstitium can lead to inflammation and scarring (fibrosis), further impairing kidney function.
4. **Nephrolithiasis**: In severe cases, nephrocalcinosis can lead to renal failure if left untreated or if the underlying cause isn't managed.
### Symptoms
In early stages, nephrocalcinosis may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, common symptoms include:
- Flank pain
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)
- Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Kidney stones
- Signs of kidney dysfunction, such as swelling, fatigue, or changes in urine output
### Treatment
Treatment of calcium deposits in the renal interstitium involves addressing the underlying cause:
1. **Managing Hypercalcemia**: Reducing calcium levels in the blood through medications, hydration, and dietary adjustments.
2. **Medications**: Diuretics like thiazides may be prescribed to decrease calcium excretion in urine.
3. **Treating Underlying Conditions**: Managing conditions like hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis, or renal tubular acidosis to prevent further calcium deposition.
4. **Dietary Modifications**: Reducing calcium or oxalate intake, depending on the underlying cause, can help prevent further deposits.
Early diagnosis and management of the underlying causes can help prevent further kidney damage and complications related to nephrocalcinosis.
