Managing multiple kidney stones
A sharp pain in your side might signal kidney stones. Back or abdominal discomfort occurs, too, with pain during urination. Risk factors include dehydration, salty diet choices, and genetic predisposition. Drinking ample water prevents stone formation. Lifestyle adjustments plus medical guidance facilitate the passing of any existing stones bothering you.

What should I do for my renal cortical cyst?
You have been experiencing pain in your left abdomen and have undergone treatment for pyelonephritis. An imaging scan showed that a small renal cyst slightly off the cortex in the kidney is the possible cause of some of your symptoms. Briefly, such cysts are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they grow or cause symptoms. In your situation, please continue to receive the necessary treatment for the infection, and they will also check the cyst to be sure it is not causing any inconvenience.

5mm Left Renal Calculus Causing Severe Kidney Pain
A 5mm kidney stone in your left side can cause severe pain. Urine minerals gather and create the stone. Intense, stabbing pain may spread to your back or abdomen. Drink lots of water to help flush out the stone. Your nephrologist might give medicine to ease pain and help the stone pass more easily. In some cases, they may do a procedure to break up or remove the stone. Follow your doctor's advice carefully to manage the pain and get rid of that stone.

Is Nicotine Detected in My Blood Test?
When getting a blood test, it may show if someone has too much 'NIC' in their system. This happens when people eat too many things with salt or if their kidneys are not working well. If you feel thirsty and tired all the time, or if your feet and legs swell up - those could be signs that something is wrong because of too much 'NIC'.
