This suggests nephrotic syndrome or a glomerular kidney disorder. She must see a nephrologist immediately for treatment and further tests to avoid kidney damage.

I have been experiencing lower back pain since Monday which has become progressively worse. I have also been drinking excessive amounts of water about one pint every one and a half hours or less. I have a lack of appetite and feel full most of the time. I visited my GP and they checked my urine and blood pressure which were normal. I am going for blood tests on Monday and will wait for the results. Do you know what could be causing these symptoms? Thank you Jack.

This is my report I am worried is it CKD or normal because my creatinine level is nearly borderline. Before 10 days it was around 0.80. Can uric acid cause elevation in creatinine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine report shows blood present 1 plus, leukocytes about 15, and red blood cells 8 to 10. I usually run daily and three days ago I felt pain in my lower right back while running but I continued. Since then I have been facing lower back pain and I need to force myself to urinate. The pain in the lower right back has not stopped and I still feel difficulty while passing urine.
