Q: Acute Kidney Failure
asked by: bamwam on June 18th, 2009

In the November 2006 I suddenly went to Acute Kidney Failure with a creatine level of 805. I was severly dehidrated and requireed dialysis for about 4 weeks when suddenly my Kidneys started working normally. I was hospitized for 2 1/2 weeks and was severly sick. I've been seeing the Kidney Dr yearly since and have a normal creatine......but since the kidney failure I have been sick with very odd symptoms that come whenever it decides to hit me....making quality of life very inhibited. I'm 46 yrs old and wondering if I am going into slow Kidney failure. MY symptoms are:
headache
vomitting
nausea
numbness in both arms
urination during the night
dizzness
joint pain
muscle aches
muscle twitching
red rash over face and forehead
and the number one sympton I seem to have all the time is fatigue.
I'm desperate to find a answer since Dr's have no idea what is wrong with me. I just recently saw a Internest for the first time but think maybe my Kidney Dr should investigate it further, when I'm struck down with these spells I am deathly ill and pray that another one will not come....but they always do.
Please help.

Your symptoms can be due to a wide variety of causes. Have you had recent blood work done? What are your serum creatinine, BUN and eGFR numbers?
