I am a insulin diabetic and the doctor has found blood and protein in my urine what does this mean?

I am a 50 year old female insulin diabetic. I have been on insulin for about 12 years. I also suffer with my tyroids. I have just recieved a letter asking me to go for a scan on my kidneys after having two blood tests where on both tests blood and protein were found. I am very worried as to what this means??

This MAY indicate a problem with your kidney(s) not functioning to capacity, but may equally indicate that you have a problem with your bladder ... possibly a UTI (Urinary tract infection).

The idea of the scan on your kidneys is to look to see if function has been compromised.

Picture this would you?

One day you dropped a thumbtack on the floor, you search but can not find, months go by and one of your friends who happens to be a diabetic enters the hospital for a sore that won't heal . It becomes so infected, they had to remove her leg from knee down. Later you are told she stepped on a tack that was found in her foot that caused the infection What would you do, tell her you are the one who dropped the tack, or remain silent?
No of course did not do on purpose, just knowing she lost her foot because of my carelessness. I do feel guilty about it

Thumbtacks fall... blame gravity. If you really felt bad about it, I guess you can tell your friend, but at the same time, it's not your fault. Diabetics are always warned that they should wear proper footwear at ALL TIMES and that they should inspect their feet daily. So she clearly didn't do that, and now she is suffering the consequences of not listening to the doctor's orders.

Medical questions please help?

The process by which a record is obtained of a blood vessel by injection of dye to coat and outline it and nearby blood vessels is called what?

The patient had surgery to excise or remove a bulging area, or area of weakness in the wall of an artery. This surgery is know as what?

Is this true or false? In a blood pressure reading, systole, the upper number, represents the force of contraction of the ventricles?

The first one is angiography, or catheter angiography
The second it aneurysmectomy.
The third is false when stated the way you put it...........it measures the pressure or force placed against artery walls during contraction of the ventricles, but it doesn't directly measure the force of a ventricular contraction. You could interpret it as true, if you are relating the force of a contraction to the amount of pressure on arteries, but that isn't really accurate since other factors determine the pressure on artery walls, such as their elasticity and size of the lumen.

Question about insulin treatment in a hospitalized patient without diabetes.?

People with hospital experience, what protocols have you seen in place for treating hyperglycemia in non-critical patients without a history of diabetes? Has anyone seen an intake blood glucose level of 120 trigger a decision to treat with insulin?

On a related note, does anyone know what would happen to a patient if you gave Apidra insulin outside of the reccomended time frame? Specifically the instructions are to administer within 20 minutes of beginning a meal. What would happen if it were given 40 minutes after the end of a meal? Again, this is in a patient who is not diabetic, and has, at most, only a slightly elevated blood sugar level.

Does anyone know of any hospitals where this is an accepted practice standard?

Sounds a bit weird to me....120 is NOT a bad BG level especially if they are ill. The time frame question would make me worry about HYPOGLYCEMIA. I would ask for a finger stick BG after the insulin (1 hour) just to see how low it is and go from there.

What part of the finger should you prick for the best blood release for blood sugar testing ?

I have been pricking my finger in different spots , and 3 times already the blood has just trickled out and dried on the testing strip before it could read the levels !! the strips are expensive { i have the one touch ultra mini meter } and I can not afford to keep getting errors on the strips. please advise if possible for a good spot ...

Place hands under warm water and rub together

Hang hand down below waist

Grasp finger near area to be pricked and squeeze gently for three seconds

Place finger on table or firm surface to avoid moving while pricking

If lancing device has dial-a-depth, increase setting by 1 level

Use new lancet every time you check blood sugar

If lancing device has dial-a-depth, decrease setting by 1 level

Use new lancet every time you check blood sugar

Try a thinner lancet or a different lancing device

Use sides of fingertips instead of fingertip pad

Try alternative test sites such as arm or thigh

Good luck. You can always check with a diabetic specialist in your endocrinologist's office who can help you with this testing if needed.

At the cross Christ made possible a "divine exchange" for everyone who believes in him. What is this exchange? Because Jesus endured all the evil due to humankind, believers can actually partake in all the good due to him. In this meaty book, acclaimed scholar Derek Prince explores the astounding results of the atonement for followers of Christ. In place of punishment, wounding, death, poverty, shame, and rejection, Christ freely offers forgiveness, healing, life, abundance, glory, and acceptance. In addition, Prince gives biblical grounding for five areas of deliverance that are made available through the cross: deliverance from this present evil age, from the law, from self, from the flesh, and from the world.This brand-new edition includes a new mini-study course at the end of each chapter, perfect for individual or small group study.

Why do people have high blood pressure?

Quote High blood pressure basically means there is a high peripheral resistance to blood flow when the heart pumps. In terms of blood pressure, it is the diastolic that is usually of more concern (ie the bottom number). This can be for several reasons: Quote

Can some one explain the above better ?

There are many causes of high blood pressure / hypertension.
Basically hypertension is divided into two main categories: Essential or Primary and Secondary. Secondary hypertension is that caused by a secondary cause :) such as kidney, vascular, endocrine and other underlying causes. This accounts for only 5% of cases. Primary hypertension accounts for the other 95% and is where a specific underlying cause cannot be found.

It is speculated that for primary hypertension the underlying risk factors are multifactorial, meaning there are a varied number of factors. One of the main risk factors is underlying atheroscleorsis where basically you have thickening of the lining of the arteries o the body (usually medium to large sized arteries). In light of this, ho i like to explain it, is like picturing a water pipe in your house. Normally, when it is brand new, the pressure in it is 'normal', like in our body, the average 'pressure' in our 'piping' should be around 120 over 80 (120/80). With time, because of all the impurities in the water such as the calcium chloride (the white stuff you might sometimes see in water), these impurities beging to 'line' the wall of the pipes. In our body, because of the high 'fat' (cholesterol) and other factors, the 'fat' deposits on the lining of our 'piping'. With time, our 'piping' becomes thickened and the lining becomes raggedy. The blood will therefore find it harder to push through the 'piping'. Because it is pushing so hard, the pressure slowly but surely builds up allowing the heart to pump at higher pressures to push the blood around the body.

why is it important for kidney dialysis patients to not have saturated fat? Coconut oil?

Is extra virgin coconut oil (a medium chain saturated fat) exceptable? I read that virgin coconut oil helps with heart & kidney protection & control diabetic insulin levels. I read this in Bruce Fife's book "The coconut oil miracle" Bruce Fife is certified nutritionist & naturopathic doctor.

I get a lot of confict reading on the coconut oil & kidney dialysis patients diet subject, I have read coconut oil should be avoided as it is a saturated fat but it is different as medium chain fatty acid & was not properly researched in virgin form in earlier nutritional study articles, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even included coconut oil on its exclusive GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) list.

Below are the conflicting articles

http://www.coconut-oil-central.com/coconut-oil-kidney-diseases.html

http://www.health.qld.gov.au/nutrition/resources/renal_heamo.pdf

I read virgin coconut oil lowers cholesterol

http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/features/cocgood.html

Dialysis patients should follow a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. These patients are considered the group at greatest risk for development of coronary artery disease. They often have increases in serum triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Although they must eat a relatively high-calorie diet to spare protein, patients on dialysis should avoid foods that raise triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations.

http://www.nutritionmd.org/health_care_providers/cardiovascular/hyperlipidemia.html

I cannot stress enough how important it is for dialysis patients to eat right. This would have been part of the patient teaching when it was decided for you to be on dialysis.

UPDATE:
Thank you Gary B. for pointing out the facts. Listen, you are on dialysis. What more do you need to know about taking care of yourself? There are things dialysis patients should not eat because of increased risk factors of not only during dialysis and your health in general, but also but also complications due to your KIDNEY FAILURE! If you choose to listen to QUAKS like Gary B. says, then you too are also the failure. I'm sure this neuro-whatever doctor knows what he's talking about. Ignore the true experts.....

Consider the credibility of your sources.
