My son is 5 years old and he had a congenital defect in the kidney since birth. Since a few days he has some inflammation which has caused swelling all over the body. His urine report shows that there is protein and blood in the urine. What does this mean and are there any further tests you suggest we should do?

Protein and blood in urine can signal inflammation or infection in kidneys. Since he has a kidney defect, please get detailed evaluation. Swelling may indicate nephrotic issues. Do not delay follow up with pediatric nephrologist.

I have some problem with my urinary system and also PCOD. My ultrasound report shows mild fullness of the right renal pelvicalyceal system and both ovaries are enlarged in size. What is the actual problem in the right kidney?

If blood urea count is 136. Is it too dangerous?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to show my report and ask about the issues and possible solutions. The report mentions minimal overfilling of the pelvicalyceal system in my left kidney, with calyceal dilatation of approximately 9 mm.
