HI all - My Mom is being admitted to the hospital at this time.

She has been suffering bladder infection type symptoms for over a week including blood in her urine. Today she went to the ER for a CT scan and they found that she has blood in her urine, elevated creatin (sp?) levels and cysts on her kidneys.

They are admitting her to see if they can figure out exactly what is wrong and treat her. She is in a good deal of pain.

thanks for the prayers.

Praying here, too. I hope you'll get to the bottom of her illness soon.

Blessings,

Today my Mom was diagnosed with this - Polycystic Kidney disease. I found this description on the web and thought it could say it better than I can.


Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person’s abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. When cysts form in the kidneys, they are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can profoundly enlarge the kidneys while replacing much of the normal structure, resulting in reduced kidney function and leading to kidney failure.

When PKD causes kidneys to fail—which usually happens after many years—the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the most common type of PKD progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as blood vessels in the brain and heart. The number of cysts as well as the complications they cause help doctors distinguish PKD from the usually harmless “simple” cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life.



The docs did an ultrasound today to help evaluate her more and will release her tomorrow. As you can tell it is a wait and see type thing that they treat as the disease progresses. At this time I do not know if they will treat it in anyway except to watch it. Since she is also anemic at this point they need to do a stool test to make sure she is not bleeding there too.

Thanks for all your prayers and if you could just keep her in your prayers as she recovers that would be great!
